2. Then (likely) phase 2 conjugation of hydroxyl groups (glucuronidation, sulfonation, methylation)
3. (me) Wherever the first OH is added the second and third are added ortho and para to it.
It might be possible to hydroxylate every available position?
Professor says benzenes cant be hydroxylated, so perhaps these in vivo rxns are for aromatics already substituated, as seen in fig 4-2, p17.
What does aromatic hydroxylation increase or decrease?
1. Increases molecules water solubility
2. Usually causes rapid removal of molecule from body
3. May increase the drug activity (in a few cases)
What's are the phase 2 conjugations for aromatics?
Glucuronidation and sulfonation (requires OH off aromatic).
Methylation (of OH) because phenols can do it (me).
Glucuronidation and sulfonation increase the molecules water solubility and excretion from body, methylation decreases its water solubility and excretion.
p18, 29 Lemke

(p 20 Lemke)
Metabolism of halogenated hydrocarbons?
Not readily metabolized, kidney cant easily excrete them since they're very lipid soluble, therefore potentially more toxic.
Properties of alcohols?
1. Intermolecular h-bonding (due to permanent dipole on oxygen(-) and hydrogen(+)
2. Relatively high BP (due to IMHB).
3. Water sol (due to h-bonding with water).
4. Neutral polar (attached halogens can increase the acidity).
What placement of the hydroxyl group makes an alcohol more water soluble?
If the hydroxyl is centered on the molecule, rather than at the end.
Whats the in vitro stability of an alcohol?
Relatively stable, although rarely the following are possible:
1. Primary alcohol can be oxidized to an aldehyde, then to a carboxylic acid.
2. Secondary alcohol oxidized to a ketone.
3. Tertiary alcohol is stable to mild oxidation (carbon has no more hydrogens left to oxidize).
Book strongly implies that these rxns require an oxidizing agent stronger than air.
(p23 Lemke)
Metabolism of alcohol?
Oxidized by ADH (alcohol dehydrogenase) primarily, and CYP450:
-primary alcohol -> aldehyde -> carboxylic acid
-secondary alcohol -> ketone
-tertiaries are stable
Alcohols also undergo glucuronidation and sulfation, not methylation.

a carboxylic acid + an alcohol
(via a dehydration rxn)
(see wiki)
Properties of phenols?
1. intermolecular h-bonding
2. high BP
3. high water sol
4. acidic (weak acids)
What happens with the addition of an alkyl or halogen to a phenol?
1. water sol greatly decreases
2. acidity increases (pka dec) with halogen substit (IBLV)
3. acidity decreases (pka inc) with alkyl substituents
(because alkyls are e- donating groups, this decreases resonance stabilization of ring, resulting in less ion-dipole bonding to water)
Why are phenols acidic and alcohols arent?
because the phenolate anion formed after loss of H is resonance stabilized by the aromatic ring (e- sink)
Why is the BP and water solubility noticibly better for phenols than with an equivalent alcohol (eg cyclohexanol)?
Because phenols have both dipole-dipole bonding and ion-dipole bonding with water (dipole-dipole in neutral form, and ion-dipole as anion/phenolate).
Same goes for intermolecular attaction between phenols to inc BP.
How do you make a salt with a phenol?
Using a strong base (NaOH or KOH).
You end up with phenolate and Na+ (or K+).
Phenols are nonreactive in a weak base.
why do we formulate a drug as a salt?
1. this greatly increases water sol
2. for a drug to be biologically active it must be soluble
Are all salts water soluble?
No, salts can be either water soluble or insoluble(if they dont dissociate from each other).
In general, salts made from NaOH, KOH, Nh4+OH−(ammonium hydroxide) are water soluble, while heavy metal salts like CaOH, MgOH, ZOH, ALOH are not water soluble.
Insoluble salts can precipitate (which is not good for drugs)

(p31 Lemke)
Metabolism of ethers?
Mostly excreted unchanged.
Possible ("O-demethylation") dealkylation of methyl or ethyl group, but typically when other side of oxygen is aromatic.
Forms an alcohol(phenol typically), and an aldehyde.
Example: dealkylation of methoxybenzene (or ethoxybenzene) to form formaldehyde (or acetaldehyde).

4. Reduction (add an H to each carbon on the alkene)
(these are shown on p13)
What are esters unstable in?
acidic and basic media.
results in cleavage of bond between the carbonyl carbon and the ester oxygen to form a carboxylic acid and an alcohol
compare adding an e- withdrawing group to aniline, versus adding one to phenol, at ortho, meta, and para positions
adding to para has biggest impact for aniline and phenol.
adding to meta has less impact than adding to para (for both).
adding to ortho is unpredictable (for both).
e- withdrawing groups added to aniline make it even less basic, while adding them to phenol makes it more acidic
In vitro stabilization of thioesters?
Hydrolysis to a carboxylic acid + thiol(R-SH)
Types of phase 1 reactions (very general, from wiki)?
1. Oxidation
2. Reduction
3. Hydrolysis
Phase 1 reactions are in vivo (not in vitro)
What do you get by adding a base to an amine salt?
the free amine may precipitate when its H is removed (R-NH3+ -> RNH2)
What can phenols resonance stabilize into?
Quinone (double bond to oxygen, and only two doubles in ring)
In vitro stability of alkanes?
Stable, chemically inert on the shelf
What can introduce a free radical into a molecule?
And how can it be prevented?
UV light.
Antioxidants can prevent UV degradation.
Points to know about dealkylation of amines?
1. Tert amines -> secondary
2. Secondary -> primary
3. No dealkylation of primary
4. Alkyl group removed at each step becomes an aldehyde or ketone
5. Only small alkyls are removed (methyl, ethyl,propyl)
methyl (and ethyl) -> aldehyde
propyl -> ketone
6. Catalyzed by CYP450
What antioxidants should you add to lipophillic compounds?
Vitamin E (its lipophillic)
Points to know about deamination of amines?
Primary amine -> aldehyde or ketone:
1. Only with primary alkyl amines (NH2 attached to a carbon chain).
2. Carbon attached to NH2 must have at least one H).
3. If carbon is at end, the (remaining) chain becomes an aldehyde (carbon that was attached to N gets oxidized to a carbonyl).
4. If carbon is not at end, chain becomes a ketone
5. Deamination enzymes are typically MAO or DAO
6. Example is deamination (and inactivation) of norepinephrine
What property do alkanes with 1 to 4 carbon atoms share?
they're gases
Points to know about methylation of an amine?
1. Primary and secondary amines.
Primary amine -> secondary amine.
Secondary amine -> tertiary amine.
2. Lesser rxn.
3. A phase 2/conjugation (wiki)
Example: methylation of norepinephrine to epinephrine (Ch3 is added to norepi's nitrogen).
What antioxidants should you add to hydrophillic compounds?
Vitamin C (its hydrophillic)
Points to know about phase 2/conjugaton of amines?
1. Only primary and secondary amines (no tertiary conjugations).
2. Includes glucuronidation, sulfonation, methylation, and acetylation .
3. These are all phase 2 conjugations.
4. Glucuronidation and sulfation inc water solubility.
5. Acetylation dec water sol and reqs acetyl CoA.
6. Glucuronidation affects primary and secondary amines.
7. Acetyalation (primary and secondary aryls, not sure about alkyls).
8. Sulfonation affects primary and secondary amines.
9. Methylation (primary and secondary).
Which alkanes are liquids?
alkanes with 5 to 20 carbons
whats the difference between regular ammonium salts and a quaternary salt?
1. quats have 4 carbon substituents (no H's) to N
2. non-quats can revert back with addition of a base
3. quats are stable ionic compounds with very good water sol
What is the affect of adding a sulfonamide to a drug?
Decreases the drug's metabolism.
(classnotes)
Are alkenes acidic, basic, or neutral?
Neutral
Points to know about acetylation of an amine?
1. Primary and secondary aromatic/aryl amines.
2. An acetyl group (Ch3C=O) is added to N (attachment is at the carbonyls carbon).
3. Decreases the compounds water solubility.
(p46 Lemke)
Difference between glucuronidation, sulfonation, methylation, and acetylation, in terms of attachment points?
Glucuronidation and sulfonation require an available -OH or -SH.
Methylation and acetylation require an available -H and two electrons, typically conjugating primary and secondary amines.
(this is conjecture from classnotes and book, and might be wrong)
What in vivo reactions typically occur with tertiary amines?
Dealkylation only (AFAIK).
p44 Lemke
Are alkenes water soluble or lipophillic?
Lipophillic
In vitro reactions with primary, secondary, tertiary amines?
Primary: Stable
Secondary: Stable
Tertiary: Unstable in air and light (interacts with oxygen somehow)
