Metabolism & Clearance Flashcards
glucuronidation
UDP-glucuronosyltransferase
UGT
sulfation
sulfotransferases
SULT
acetylation
N-acetyltransferases
NAT
Amino acid conjugation
ex. glycine
low activity in newborns, fatal benzyl acid toxicity
glutathione conjugation
glutathione-S-transferase
methylation
catechol O-methyl transferase or thiopurine methyl transferase
COMT or TPMT
CYP2D6 activity & polymorphism
absent or ultrarapid
no activity or buildup of codeine
CYP2C19 activity & polymorphism
defective (race dependent)
metabolizes prodrug for clopidogrel
TPMT activity & polymorphism
Caucasians have diminished or deficient activity
severe myelosuppression with azathiopurine
solute carriers (SLCs)
OAT, OCT, OATPs, & MATE
transporters responsible for bioavailability
OATP2B1
P-gp (ABCB1, MDR1)
MCT
PEPT1
OATP2B1 location & activity
uptake in gut, liver, and systemic circulation
large MW organic anions
P1B3 and P1B1 are liver specific
P-gp location & activity
kidney, liver, & BBB
protects and eliminates compounds from cells
MCT location & activity
intestine
transports low MW organic anions
can improve oral absorption
PEPT1 location & activity
intestine
transports peptides
can improve oral absorption
transporters responsible for liver activity
OATPs
BCRP (ABCG2)
P-gp
