Liver
responsible for a major part of drug metabolism |
true
|
|
Liver
metabolism makes drug molecules more: |
hydrophilic--> less prone to protein binding --> more susceptible to excretion
|
|
Liver
secretes: |
bile acids
|
|
Liver
the basic unit: |
liver lobule (parenchymal cells + bile cannaliculi + sinusoids)
|
|
Liver
parenchymal cells= |
hepatocytes
|
|
Liver blood supply
receives blood from: |
- hepatic artery (25%) carries oxygen
- hepatic portal vein (75%) carries nutrients and drugs from GI tract |
|
liver blood supply
hepatic artery and portal vein fuse within: |
the liver and mix in the sinusoids
|
|
liver blood supply
blood leaves the liver via: |
the hepatic vein
|
|
biotransformation enzymes
the most studied enzymes are called: |
mixed-function oxidases (MFO)
|
|
biotransformation enzymes
localized in: |
hepatocytes
|
|
biotransformation enzymes
associated with: |
endoplasmic reticulum
|
|
biotransformation enzymes
can be isolated as: |
microsomal fraction- membrane vesicles called microsomes- after hepatocyte disruption and differential centrifugation
|
|
biotransformation enzymes
main component: |
CYP450
|
|
Mixed-function oxidases (MFO)
fully functional system contains: |
--two enzymes (CYP450-diff isozymes)
(NADPH-cyp450 reductase) --cofactor: NADP+ (NADPH) --substrates (molecular oxygen, drug) --phosphlipids |
|
CYP450
inducible (barbiturates, smoke) |
true
|
|
CYP450
multiple isoenzymes differing in: |
drug specificity
|
|
CYP450
heme protein containing iron, some isoenzymes with a large cavity that causes interesting phenomena: |
- lower specificity than most other enzymes
- cooperativity in enzyme kinetics, sometimes two substrate molecules fit inside the cavity - drug drug interactions |
|
CYP450
binds predominantly : |
lipid-soluble (lipophilic) drugs
|
|
Phase I reactions
usually occur: |
first and cause a "smaller" change than phase II
|
|
Phase I rxn
introduce or expose a : |
functional group
|
|
phase I reactions
examples: |
hydroxylation
dealkylation deamination hydrolysis reduction |
|
phase II reactions
connect the drugs or their metabolites from phase I reactions with: |
physiological compounds (glucuronate, glycine, sulphate, glutathione)
|
|
phase II reactions
one reaction partner must: |
be in high energy form (bound to a nucleotide)
|
|
phase II reactions
reactions are catalyzed by proper transferases, which have: |
low Michaelis constant values and can be saturated at comparatively low concentrations
|
|
hepatic elimination scheme
|
see pg 2 slide 5
|
|
metabolism in one hepatocyte
spontaneous reactions and M-M metabolism determine the: |
temporal change in the metabolite concentration in each hepatocyte
([D] = [D]p for drugs transported quickly) |
|
metabolism in liver: intrinsic clearance
the drug amount metabolized in the liver is: |
the sum of drug amounts metabolized by individual hepatocytes
|
|
hepatic clearance refers to cp
intrinsic clearance is: |
the sum of clearances of individual hepatocytes
|
|
hepatic clearance refers to cp
hepatic clearance is: |
the metabolic rate ([D]=[D]p) divided by cp
Clh= fu * Clint |
|
extraction ratio and blood flow
extraction ratio is: |
the fraction of the drug eliminated by the organ in one pass
ER= (ca - cv)/ ca |
|
physiologic hepatic clearance
|
- the actual clearance observed in the patient
- takes into acct the blood flow (Q) limitation Clhp= Q*Clh/Q + Clh |
|
physiologic hepatic clearance
perfusion limitation for fast metabolism: |
(Clh >>Q)
|
|
physiologic hepatic clearance and hepatic clearance
physiologic hepatic clearance cannot: |
be higher than blood flow Q, even if the liver itself is able to eliminate faster
|
|
biliary excretion
what type of secretion? |
active secretion (saturable, energy driven) affects mainly water-soluble drugs
|
|
biliary excretion
bile flow: |
0.5 - 0.8 mL/min
pH~7.4 |
|
enterohepatic circulation
|
see pg 4 slide 1
|
|
excretion vs metabolism
the amounts of unchanged drug and of metabolites are: |
in the same relation as the clearance of excretion and metabolism
|
