Q

What is the primary CYP enzyme in humans?

A. CYP3A4

B. CYP2C9

C. CYP2A1

A

C. CYP3A4

17
Q

True of False

Drugs must be substrates to be affected by enzymes or transporter proteins.

A

True

18
Q

Which of the following statements about drug absorption is correct?

A. PGPs decrease drug intestinal absorption by metabolizing drugs before they can be absorbed into portal circulation.

B. CYP3A enzymes decrease intestinal absorption by pumping drugs from the intracellular space back into the intestinal lumen

C. CYP3A enzymes and PGPs are concentrated in many tissues including intestines and liver

D. Drugs don’t have to be substrates to be affected by enzymes or transporter proteins

A

C.

A is wrong because its CYP3A enzymes that metabolize drugs

B. is wrong because its the PGPs that decrease intestinal pumping

D. is wrong becase the drugs do have to be substrates

19
Q

True or False

A

True

20
Q
