Metabolism Flashcards
Is the chemical transformation of the drug by the biological environment to form metabolites
Drug metabolism or biotransformation
Objective of drug metab is to convert xenobiotics to a (4)
less active
less toxic
polar
readily excretable form
Exception of drug metab (3)
Inactive (prodrug) to active form
Active to active metabolites
Non-toxic to toxic form
What is the active form of chloral hydrate
Trichloroethanol
Active metabolites of amitriptyline
Nortriptyline
Hepatotoxic metabolite of paracetamol
NAPQI
N-acetyl-p-benzo-quinone imine
Detoxification of paracetamol convert by glutathione into
Mercapturic acid
initial metabolism that happens before a drug reaches the systemic circulation
• These are drugs with high extraction ratio (ER) in the liver.
First-Pass Metabolism
drugs with high extraction ratio (ER) - significant portion will metabolize (5)
(PCMMP)
Propranolol
Catecholamines
Meperidine
Morphine
Pentazocine
Phase 1 reaction also called (2)
Functionalization
Asynthetic
Conversion of drugs to active form by
addition or unmasking of a functional group.
Attach small polar grp to drug structure
Phase 1
3 Chemical Reactions
Oxidation
Reduction
Hydrolysis
Redox reaction
(GEROA) (LEORA)
Oxidation-reduction
Gain electron = reduction, oxidizing agent
Lose electron = oxidation, reducing agent
Most common reaction in all metabolic process (phase 1 & 2 )
Oxidation
What do you call the family of oxidative enzyme
Mixed function oxidases (MFO)
Cytochrome P-450 subfamily that is predominant in pediatrics
CYP3A7
Cytochrome P-450 subfamily that is predominant to adults
CYP3A4
Cytochrome P-450 subfamily that metabolizes antidepressants
CYP2D6
Cytochrome P-450 substrate (drugs) with 1A2 subfamily (4)
Induced by (2)
Acetaminophen
Theophylline
Warfarin
Caffeine
Induced by:
Omeprazole
benzopyrene (charred meat)
Cytochrome P-450 substrate (drugs) with 2C9 subfamily (3)
Phenytoin
Tolbutamide
Warfarin
