Q

phase 1 metabolism

most cases metabolite is inactive and therefore the rate of metabolism determines phase 1 metabolism

Q

phase 1 metabolism

also metabolite can be active and therefore

A

activity remains until this is also removed from the body by further metabolism or excretion

Q

drug metabolism

enzymes are usually not saturated at theraputic doses therefore

A

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

part of ER
contains Fe
and binds substrate O2 and CO

16
Q

reductions

A

p450 mediated in liver

gut flora

17
Q

hydrolysis of

A

esters

amide

18
Q

plasma pseudocholinesterase

A

breaks down mimics of Ach

19
Q

procaine is a local anaesthetic what happens to it

A

hydrolysis in plasma t1/2=10-20mins

of ester linkage

20
Q

conjugation reaction

glucurinidation what happens

A

glucuronic acid replaces the H in

  • OH
  • COOH to give water soluble inactive product
21
Q

glucurinidation activation equation

and enzyme

A

g-6-p—– g-1-p —(utp)— udp-glucose—-(nad)—- udp-glucuronic acid

UTP- glucurony transferase

22
Q

conjugation reaction

sulphation what happens

A

SO3- replaces H in -OH NH2 NHOH
very water soluble inactive
usually excretory products

23
Q

what is the sulphation activation equation

and enzyme

A

sulphate –(atp)– adenosine-5’-ps –(atp)– 3’p-adenosine -5’-ps PAPS
using enzyme sulpho-transferase

24
Q

3 main types of sulpho-tranferase

A

phenol
steroid
aryl amine

25
Q

where is sulpho-transferase found

A

cytosolic enzyme in liver
gut
most tissues

26
Q

sulphation

limited number of PAPS so what happens

A

low doses of phenol are conjugated with sulphate and high doses with glucurnic acid

27
Q

conjugation reaction

acetylation what happens

A

acetate replaces H in NH2 -SO2NH2
inactivates the functional group
no real increase in water solubility

28
Q

acetylation requires activation

A

acetate to acetylcoa

via N-acetyl transferase transfers the acetate to drug

29
Q

consequences of metabolism

A
after metab parent drug is removed with effects
metab is now a different compound so:
no acitivity 
similar pharmacological activity
different plasma activity
toxicological action
30
Q

phase 1 metabolites what are they

A

usually inactive but show the consequences of metab

they may undergo phase 2 before excretion

31
Q

phase 2 metabolites what are they

A

nearly always inactive

usually much more water soluble and ready for excretion

32
Q

levels of p450 is determined genetically

so whats the difference with identical and non twins

A

identical : more or less same metabolism

non: different

33
Q

pharmacogenetics

mutation in plasma pseudocholinesterase what happens

A

causes no breakdown of suxamethonium

when given as a muscle relaxant it will not be removed

34
Q

isonizid can be acetylated (major) or hydrolysed

in population what happens

A

low plasma conc -fast acetylators (more effective enzyme)
poor clinical response -low incidance rate for side effects
vice versa for high plasma conc

35
Q

enzyme induction

what are the effects of phenobarbitone

A

long lasting effects
induces enzyme breakdown of dicoumarol
drugs interact with each other

36
Q

volatile route of elimination depends on

A

air borne partition coefficient
tidal vol
rate of ventilation
extent of distribution to tissues

37
Q

renal excretion

3 processes what are they

A

glomerular filtration
ph dependent reabsorption
renal tubular secretion

38
Q

biliary excretion

what happens

A

mixed in bile with bile salts
large drugs or drug conjugates are eliminated in bile
elimination depends on release in bile
