25
Phase 1 metabolism reactions
Oxidation (most common), reduction, hydrolysis
26
What protein family is in charge of oxidation reactions?
Cytochrome P450
27
Where is CYP450 found?
Found in liver, transmembrane, non-soluble proteins that come in a variety of isoforms
28
What three components do CYP450 require?
1. Flavorotein (cytochrome P450 reductase) 2. CYP enzyme (contains heme) 3. obligatory cofactors: NADPH and O2
29
What are the two major families of CYP450?
1. drug metabolizing (induced by the drugs themselves) | 2. carcinogen-metabolizing (induced by polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons.
30
What does the CYP1 family do?
carcinogen-metabolizing
31
What is the induction of CYP1?
nuclear receptor mediated = aryl hydrocarbons bind AH receptor --> forms heterodimer with ARNT in nucleus --> complex binds gene promoters (DRE and XRE )
32
What are the three main types of CYP1?
CYP1A1, CYP1B1, CYP1A2
33
Which CYP1 is constitutively expressed in the liver?
CYP1A2
34
What does the CYP2 family metabolize?
Metabolizes many drugs
35
What is the induction for CYP2 family?
CAR binds drugs --> forms heterodimer in nucleus with RXR which bind PBREM enhancer elements
36
CYP2C9
warfarin, phenytoin, NSAIDS
37
CYP2C19
omeprazole, diazepam, clopidogrel
38
CYP2D6
codeine, metoprolo, antidepressants, tamoxifen
39
CYP2As
steroids and nicotine
40
CYP2E1
ethanol, anesthetics
41
Multidrug resistance proteins
ATP-dependent TM pumps (found in sanctuary sites like eye, CNS, etc.) that pump xeobiotics out of cells = ATP-binding cassette transporter gene family; they share substrates with CYP3A4
42
What does CYP3 family do?
Responsible for the metabolism of majority of drugs
43
Induction for CYP3 family?
Nuclear receptor mediated, exactly like CYP2 family, except using PXR to bind drugs instead of CAR as a receptor
44
CYP3A4 - Why is it important?
Most abundant isoform in the human liver, metabolizes 1/3 to 1/2 of all P.O. drugs - first pass metabolism; also in gut; main site for drug-drug interactions
45
Signifiance of terfenadine and CYP3A4
terfenadine has serious cardiotoxicity at high levels and is only cleared by liver = blocked by other antibiotics being metabolized via CYP3A4 --> toxi
46
What strange thing irreversibly binds CYP34A?
grapefruit juice
47
CYP3A5
abundent in 10-15% of people
48
Phase 2 reactions
conjugation = adding electrophilic cosubstrates to nucleophile sites (N, O, S) on drugs that make them more polar and less active, and aid in excretion, defense system against toxins
49
Enzyme for glucuronidation
Uridine Glucuronyl Transferases (UGTs)
50
Induction for glucuronidation
AhR, CAR or PXR mediated (ex. bilirubin conjugation by UGT1*1
51
Gilbert's syndome
mutation in promoter that down regulates production of UGTs causes mild hyperbilirubinemia
52
Crigler-Najjar Syndrome
mutation in gene sequence that kills the UGTs enzyme
53
Sulfation enzyme
sulfotransferases
54
What is metabolic activation?
when metabolism creates reactive intermediates (electiophilic, unstable products that react with nucleophiles)
55
What are 4 ways reactive intermediates can be dealt with?
1. Bind water 2. Bind glutathione (GSH) 3. Bind protein 4. Bind DNA/RNA
56
How can reactive intermediates cause organ toxicity?
binding protein
57
How can reactive intermediates cause mutations/be carcinogenic and toxic?
binding DNA/RNA
58
How can acetaminophen be toxic?
Hepatotoxic at >7gm, toxic NAPQI when metabolized by CYP2E1 --> when it depletes GSH it is then free to cause damage.
