🗑
Strategy to excrete xenobiotics is to increase ___.   solublity  
🗑
Solubility can be increased by:   functionalization, conjugation, and transport  
🗑
Functionalization   Introduce or expose polar group, create a nucleophile, and oxidation and bond cleavage  
🗑
Conjugation   Couple polar group, nucleophile-electrophile reaction  
🗑
Transport   Alter the localization  
🗑
Cytochrome P450   Membrane-bound heme (Fe) protein complex  
🗑
Lipophilic substrates of P450 include:   endobiotic and xenobiotic  
🗑
Endobiotic examples:   steroids and arachidonic acid  
🗑
Xenobitiotic examples:   food additives, environmental pollutants, and drugs  
🗑
P450 metabolizes >___% of drugs.   >50%  
🗑
P450 main site of action is in the ___.   liver  
🗑
P450 has ___ substrate specificity.   overlapping (i.e. low specificity)  
🗑
Diazepam has ___ metabolic pathways leading to common end product.   multiple  
🗑
CYP2C19   N-demethylation  
🗑
CYP3A34   Ring hydroxylation  
🗑
Xenobiotic metabolism is not an ___ process.   efficient  
🗑
Seldane/Terfenadine   Antihistamine, one toxic product & one metabolically active product, caused cardiac arrhythmias/blackouts/deaths, Allegra is improved design  
🗑
Benzo[a]pyrene has a toxic ___ form.   epoxide (electrophile)  
🗑
The epoxide form ___ DNA.   modifies (at the nitrogen bases)  
🗑
Flavin Monooxygenase (FMO) is ___ bound.   membrane bound (microsomal)  
🗑
FMO contains ___, not heme.   flavin  
🗑
FMO catalytic reactions:   oxidation of nitrogen, phosphorous, and sulfur (similar to P450)  
🗑
N-oxidation of nicotine produces ___.   nicotine N-oxide (inactive)  
🗑
S-oxidation of cimetidine/Tagamet produces ___.   cimetidine S-oxide (inactive)  
🗑
Tagamet is used to treat:   (blocks acid secretion from the stomach) ulcers, gastro-esophageal disorder (GERD), and excessive acid secretion  
🗑
Alcohol Dehydrogenase (ADH)   Cytosolic, parenchymal liver cells, converts alcohols to aldehydes  
🗑
Pyrazole   Inhibits ADH  
🗑
Aldehyde Dehydrogenase (ALDH)   Mitochondrial, cytosolic, and microsomal forms, primarily in the liver, oxidizes aldehydes to acids  
🗑
Disulfiram   Inhibits ALDH  
🗑
ALDH has ___ substrate specificity,   broad  
🗑
UDP-glucuronosyl transferase (UGT) coupling group   glucuronic acid  
🗑

🗑
Glutathione-S-transferase (GST) coupling group:   glutathione  
🗑
N-acetyltransferase (NAT1/NAT2) coupling group:   acetic acid  
🗑

🗑
Glucuronidation is catalyzed by ___.   UGT  
🗑
UGT is ___ bound, localized in the ___.   membrane bound, ER  
🗑

🗑
Cofactor for SULT:   PAPS (activated electrophile), rate limiting  
🗑
GST catalyzes:   glutathione conjugation  
🗑
GST substrates:   steroids, hormone, and few xenobiotics (anticancer)  
🗑
GST requires ___ cofactor.   glutathione  
🗑

🗑
GST forms highly water-soluble ___ acids.   mercaptouric  
🗑

🗑
NAT1 is in the ___, and NAT2 ___.   liver, colon/other tissues  
🗑
NAT isoforms catalyze the same reaction but have different:   substrate specificity  
🗑
NAT causes the transfer of an acetyl group, which causes the molecule to:   become more polar, but not have a charge  
🗑
ATP Binding Cassette (ABC) transporter, utilizes ___ to transport.   ATP  
🗑
95% of acetaminophen is broken down to nontoxic metabolites ___ and ___.   SULT (65%) and UGT (35%)  
🗑
<5% of acetaminophen metabolism produces toxic ___, catalyzed by ___.   NAPQI, CYP2E1  
🗑
NAPQI causes:   cell death and consumption of GSH (regeneration)  
🗑
Alcohol consumption induces ___, increasing synthesis of NAPQI.   CYP2E1  
🗑
