pharmacokinetics part 2 Flashcards
phase 1 metabolism
oxidation at carbon
adds oh or deacylation
phase 1 metabolism
oxidation at Nitrogen
to secondary amine
to tertiary amine
phase 1 metabolism
oxidation at sulphur atom
to thioeher
phase 1 metabolism
drugs removed as soon as
it is converted into metabolite
phase 1 metabolism
most cases metabolite is inactive and therefore the rate of metabolism determines phase 1 metabolism
the duration of therapeutic effect
phase 1 metabolism
also metabolite can be active and therefore
activity remains until this is also removed from the body by further metabolism or excretion
pro drug
drug in inactive precursor
drug metabolism
enzymes are usually not saturated at theraputic doses therefore
half-life is not affected by does admin
or clearance and half life
and is not affected by other drugs which is metabolised by the same enzyme
microsome contains
cytochrome p450
p450 reductase
b5 reductase
lipid environment
there are —– p450 molecules per reductase
20
cytochrome p450
what is it
membrane bound enzyme in most tissues especially liver
part of ER
contains Fe
and binds substrate O2 and CO
what does cytochrome p450 do
catalyses oxidation of drug
generally determines deficiencies
what is cyto p450 induced by
drug: phenobarbitan
environmental : smoking
cyto p450 is inhibited by
cimetidine
grapefruit juices
non p450 oxidation examples
monoamine oxidase
alcohol dehydrogenase
