Phase I Reactions Flashcards
What is the substrate of CYP1A1 , CYP1A2 for phase I reaction
PAH, HCA, aflatoxin
What are the inducers or transcription factor ligands of CYP1A1, CYP1A2
PAH, HCA, PCBs, dioxins, some flavonoids and phytochemicals
what is the nuclear receptor of CYP1A1 and CYP1A2`
Aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AhR)
what are the substrates of CYP2A,B,C,D
pharmaceuticals
what are the inducers or transcription factor ligands of CYP2A,B,C,D
barbiturates, phenobarbital
what is the nuclear receptor of CYP2A,B,C,D
constitutive androstane receptor (CAR)
what are the substrates of CYP2E1
acetaminophen, alcohol, nitrosamines, aflatoxin
what are the inducers of CYP2E1
ketones, ethanol/alcohol
what is the nuclear receptor of CYP2E1
there are none
- protein stabilization mechanism
what CYP subfamily makes up 60% of liver CYPs
CYP3A
what are the substrates of CYP3A
endogenous steroids, pharmaceuticals
what are inducers of CYP3A
anabolic steroids
what is the nuclear receptor of CYP3A
steroid hormone xenobiotic receptor (SXR)
what are inducers
xenobiotics that increase the expression of specific CYP genes
what is the purpose of inducing CYP gene expression
ensures we have enough CYP enzyme to metabolize X
- decrease risk of X accumulation
- may increase cancer risk
- phase I reaction
How do nuclear receptors of CYP work
they heterodimerize with other nuclear receptors to induce an infinite number of patterns of CYP gene expression
Describe how some xenobiotics can be agonist or ligands for transcription factor
- they bind to them forming a complex
- can accelerate transcription downstream genes (inducing expression of CYPs)
- some can function as CYP inhibitors and decrease function of CYP
What is PXR
pregnan X receptor
where is pregnan X receptor found
predominantly in the nucleus
how does pregnane X receptor work
forms a heterodimer and binds to PXRE sites in DNA
- increases transcription of genes
Pregnane X receptor increases transcription of genes encoding what?
- phase 1 enzymes (CYP2C and CYP3A)
- phase 2 enzymes (UDP-glucoronoshl transferases and sulfotransferases
what is CAR
constitutive andostane receptor
