  • Front
  • Back
the most common pharmcological activity due to biotransformation
active drug to inactive metabolite
phy-chem proper after biotransformation
water solubility increased
the --- and ---- of biotransformation will affect the duration of action of the drug
rate

extent
which is more predictable toxicity r/t to pharm activity or unrelated
r/t
an example of toxicity r/t pharm activity
too much antiHTN leading to hypotension
main organ of biotransfomation
liver
what part of gi tract metabolizes
upper intestine

important for ORAL meds
what parts participates in entero-hepatic cycling of glucuronides
liver

upper intestine
name some intrinsic factors
age

genetic make up
name some extrinsic factors
nutritional status

diet

drugs (including herbal)

disease state
some things that affect metabolism
xenobiotics

cofactors/cosubstrates

drug metabolizing enzyme

affinity to enzyme

molecular structure
name some things r/t genetic polymorphism
protein structure affected

affinity of enzyme to drug

altered expression of affected enzyme
CYP2D6 affected -- containing drugs
N
low #'s of -------- are poor metabolizers of n containing drugs.

this affects 1-15 % of the population
CYP2D6
this enzyme is lacking in many orientals, but not in caucasians
CYP2C19

polymorphism: less active drug expressed or enzyme different due to change in a.a. of the active site
genetic variation in ---- family lead to low rates of conjugation of bilirubin and certain drugs
UGT1
genetic variation in UGT1 family lead to low rates of conjugation of ------ and certain drugs
bilirubin
inability of person to form GLUCORONIDE conjugates of bilirubin
gilbert's syndrome

Crigler-Nager syndrom
what gets rid of bilirubin
glucoronide
newborns have low levels of -----
UGT

hence jaundice in many babies
as you get older metabolism slows/speeds down/up
slows down after age 65
enzymes increase until age --
65
alteration in genes prevent expression of an ---- -----
active protein
what part of the gene may exhibit polymorphism
promoter
which region controls enzymes
promoter
a variation in the promoter region will cause a variation in the enzyme ----
action
1st recognized genetic polymorphism
NAT-2
what drug does NAT-2 metabolize
isoniazid
what drug does CYP2C19 metobolize
mephenytoin
which ethnic group has low incidence of slow acetylators

have high incidence
asian and native americans

swedish
how many americans are slow acetylators
about 50%
toxicity is a concern if the pt is a slow/rapid acetylators
slow

w/ rapid ineffectiveness is a concern
how can CYP2D6 be have low activity?

high activity?
unstable: low activity

extra copies: high activity
omeprazole
CYP1A

also responsible for caffeine, theophylline, cigarette smoke
phenobarbital, carbamazepine, isoniazid
CYP 2 and 3
isoniazid
CYP2E1
Clofibrate
CYP 4
Rifampin
CYP3A4 and 5
what detoxes and the enzyme?
olitpraz induces GST which detoxifies by inducing glucothione
CYP 1 and 2
PCBs

DDT
Ethanol
CYP2E1
tobacco, charcoal-broiled food
CYP1A2

also theophylline, caffeine

so if a pt has asthma med will not be as effective due to increase metabolism

need increased amounts of med
CYP3A4
St. John's wort
CYP2E1
ETHANOL

ISONIAZID
what can downregulate during an infection
cytokines
what can downregulate CYP2 and 3 family members
interferons
cirrhosis can lead to increased/lowered drug metabolizing enzymes
lowered
if more than 50 fold variation what's it due to
genetics
less than 50 fold due to
exposure to something that can cause upregulation of CYP
which one's higher UGT 1 or PAPS
UGT 1

that's why glucoronidation is a major pathway
what's higher in high conc in the liver
GSH

NADPH

NADH

UGT 1
poor nutrition can lead to lower ---- conc
GSH
protein calorie malnutrition leads to lower free aa and reduced ---- conjugation
aa
A person on a protein-poor diet is likely to have less ------ in their cells than someone who eats meat daily.
glutathione (GSH)

cuz less aa
what lowers NADPH and reduces drug monooxygenation
ethanol
cocktails for hiv work how?
by one drug binding w/ the highest affinity and the others circulating and having antiviral effects

less dose needed: cheaper
how do you prevent toxicity due to lack of oxygenation
giving meds at different times
what does grapefruit juice inhibit
CYP3A

important efflux transporter in enterocytes, MDR1

usu limits how much gets into bloodstream
what inhibits CYP3A4

what induces it?
inhibits: bioflavonoids

induces: St. John's Wort
