Question
Answer
What is Metabolism or biotransformation?   The conversion from one chemical form of a drug to another  
🗑
Xenbiotic   chemical compound foreign to living organism  
🗑
Why is Metabolism important?   because the many drugs after they did their certain "job" they flow in the body but need to be excreted. in order for these drugs to get excreted they need to be metabolized first  
🗑
What is the primary organ for drug absorption? what are some secondary ones?   Primary: liver .. Secondary: kidney, lungs, intestines, blood cells  
🗑
Phase I of biotransformation   Parent drug converted to a more polar metabolite by introducing unmasking function groups .. it has oxidation, reduction, hydrolysis .. products are often inactive (but not always)  
🗑
Phase II biotransformation   Conjugation of typically phase I products with endogenous substrates .. products are inactive and highly polar and readily excreted  
🗑
What are some exceptions to Phase I and Phase II biotransformation   Isoniazid (phase II before I) .. Morphine - Active glucuronide  
🗑
Hepatic metabolism - Phase I reactions   Reactions catalyzed by specific cellular enzymes .. may be located in the ER, mitochondria, cystosol, lysosomes, nuclear envelope or plasma membrane  
🗑
What is an important class of enzymes in phase I reaction?   Microsomal mixed function oxidases  
🗑
What does the activity of Hepatic metabolism require?   A reducing agent NADPH and molecular Oxygen  
🗑
What would you find in the Microsomal fraction? what about the cytosolic fraction?   Microsomal: CYP450s, NADPH, FMOs and UGTs .. Cytosolic: SULTs, GSTs, and NAT  
🗑
What are the salient (noticeable) features of Microsomal oxidation reaction   High lipid solubility .. Low substrate specificity: permits oxidation of large number of substrates .. Generally slower than conjugation reaction  
🗑
What are some CYPS identified in the liver?   CYP1A2, CYP2A6, CYP2B6, CYP2C9, CYP2D6, CYP2E1, CYP3A4  
🗑
What does P450 enzyme inducers do   Increase rate of synthesis of metabolizing enzymes .. more enzyme more metabolism .. implication of active drug and active metabolites  
🗑
What does P450 enzyme inhibitors do   Block enzyme access to substrate .. different mechanism (competitive and noncompetitive) less access so less metabolism .. implications for active drugs and metabolites  
🗑
What are the therapeutic implications of INDUCTION for Active drugs and active metabolites?   Active drug --> Decreased efficacy due to rapid metabolism ....... Active metabolites --> Increased drug effect and/or toxicity due to enzyme inuction  
🗑
what are the therapeutic implication of INHIBITION for active drug and active metabolite   Active drug --> increased efficacy and/or toxicity due to reduced metabolism ....... Active metabolite ---> decreased drug effect due to enzyme inhibition.  
🗑
what are some factors influencing drug metabolism?   Genetic factors: polymorphism, individual differences .... Phyiologic factors: Age, sex, pregnancy .... Environmental factors: food, drink, enzyme inhibition/induction  
🗑
What would be a reason to decrease blood flow to the liver?   Cardiac failure  
🗑
What would change drug metabolizing capacity?   Hormonal disease, infections, and inflammation  
🗑
What are some Nonmicrosomal oxidations? (occur outside the microsomes)   Alcohol Dehydrogenases (ADH) .. Aldehyde Dehydrogenases (ALDH) ..... Aldo-ketoreductases (AKR) ...... Molybdenum Hydroxylases  
🗑
What happens in Monoamine oxidase?   ** Substrates are primary amines (and Secondary or tertiary amines) .. ** Amines must be attached to an unsubstituted methylene group .. **play a vital role in inactivating neurotransmitters.  
🗑
What happens in Diamine Oxidase?   Substrates are diamines .... Histamine - Prototypical substrate ..... Has affinity for monoamines as well (at higher concentrations)  
🗑
Give a summary to Phase I reactions ** Phase I products can be substrates for subsequent phase II reactions (applicable for 2 and 4 from the answer)   They introduce new polar functional groups into the molecules which leads to: 1. Decrease pharm. activity (deactivation) 2. Increase Pharm. activity (activation) 3. Increased toxicity (carcinogenesis, mutagensis, cytotoxicty) 4. Altered pharm. activity  
🗑
What are the 5 most common conjugation reactions, in order how much they contribute to phase II reactions   1. Glucuronidation 2. Sulfation 3. Glutathione conjugation 4. Acetylation 5. Methylation  
🗑
what do conjugation reactions do?   They add a hydrophilic moiety to xenobiotics rendering them easily excreted (urine, bile)  
🗑
TRUE/FALSE: Sequential conjugation of the same substrate can occur   TRUE .. Also, pathways can compete for same functional groups.  
🗑
what conjugate reaction occur in Phenolic OH?   Sulfation, Glucuronidation, methylation  
🗑
what conjugate reaction occur in Amine groups?   Acetylation, sulfation, glucuronidation  
🗑
What conjugate reactions occur in carboxyl groups?   amino acids and coA conjugation, glucuronidation  
🗑
Which conjugate reaction is the most important?   Glucuronidation  
🗑
What is the reaction mechanism of glucuronidation   **** A high capacity, low affinity reaction .. Direct conjugation of acceptor moiety w/ glucuronic acid .. **catalyzed by UGT .. Resultant water soluble glucuronide .. not all glucuronides excreted in urine  
🗑
Takmela lal kabel .. Endogenous substrates include:   Catelcholamines, thyroxine, steroids, and bilirubin  
🗑
Can glucuronides be active and or toxic? give an example   They can be active or very toxic .. Morphine for examplenhas active glucuronide  
🗑
What us sulfation (sulfonation) important for?   important in the reaction in the biotranformation of steroid hormones, catecholamines, bile acids, thyroxine, phenolic drugs .. can reactivate electrophiles or therapeutically active conjugates  
🗑
What is the mechanism of sulfation (sulfonation)   **** Low capacity high affinity reaction .. involves transfer of sulfonic group (-SO3-) from 3'-phosphoadenosine-5'-phaphosulfate (PAPS) to the acceptor molecule - catalyzed by SULTs --> substrate selectivity differs...  
🗑
Takmela lal kabel .. What determines the reaction rate in sulfation?   availability of PAPs and inorganic substrate.  
🗑
