Lecture 7: Metabolism

Question 1

CYP450 induction mechanism

Answer 1

-drugs bind to CYP TFs
-increase transcription
-increase CYP450
-increase metabolism

Question 2

induction cross-talk

Answer 2

-many substrates can turn on different CYPs
-alter metabolism of a LOT of drugs

Question 3

Inducers cause a wider array of drug interactions than inhibitors

Answer 3

-reacts with PXR
-doesnt have to interact with CYP directly

Question 4

Autoinduction

Answer 4

-inducer [drug] can activate own metabolism
-concentration decreases with same dose

Question 5

Consequences of metabolisms

Answer 5

1. active to inactive
2. inactive to active
3. active to reactive

Question 6

CYP1A1/2 substrates

Answer 6

-PAHs
-arylamines
-nitrosamines

Question 7

CYP1A1/2

Answer 7

-planar binding site
-only binds flat (planar) molecules

Question 8

CYP2 family

Answer 8

-2A6
-2B6
-2C9/8

-lots more substrates

Question 9

CYP2C subfamily

Answer 9

-metabolizes 25% of drugs
-bigger binding pocket
-CYP2C9 most important

Question 10

CYP2D6

Answer 10

-metabolizes 20% drugs
-small amounts in body
-weakly inducible

Question 11

CYP2D6 metabolism

Answer 11

-lipophilic amines

-bupropion

Question 13

CYP3A4

Answer 13

-rifampin
-St. John’s wort

Question 20

CYP2D6 substrates

Answer 20

-codeine
-fluoxetine

Question 21

CYP2D6 inhibitors

Answer 21

CYP2D6 inducers

Answer 22

??

Question 23

CYP2C9 substrates

Answer 23

Answer 26

-FMO
-ADH
-MAO
-Esterase
-amidase
-epoxide hydrolase

Question 27

alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH)

Answer 27

-metabolizes ethanol to acetaldehyde
-vomiting sick
-inhibited by disulfram to treat

Question 28

Phase II metabolism

Answer 28

-couple drug with conjugates
-polar groups
-increase solubility
=increase urinary excretion
-inactivate compounds usually

Question 29

Increased solubility

Answer 29

increased urinary excretion

Question 30

Phase II enzymes

Answer 30

-UGT
-GST
-NAT
-TPMT
-SULT

Question 31

UGT

Answer 31

-dominant phase II enzyme
-readily available supply of glucose and UTP in liver
-many functional groups can form conjugates

Question 32

UGT reaction

Answer 32

-conjugates glucuronic acid component of UDPGA to drug
-UDPGA + drug –> glucuronide-conjugated drug + UDP

Question 33

How to reduce glucuronidation of drug

Answer 33

-inhibit enzyme
-reduce amount of enzyme produced
-reduce amount of cosubstrate

Question 34

UGT and CYP450

Answer 34

-right next to each other on membrane of ER
-phase I metabolite travels short distance to UGT

Question 35

sulfotransferases (SULT)

Answer 35

-drug + PAPS –> sulfated drug + PAP
