Prodrug:
substance that takes inactive
drug and makes it active.
Drug metabolizing enzyme
facilitates movement of drug (excretion)
Phase I Metabolism
Functionalism step, makes drug easier to excrete by making it more polar, thus polar for elimination in urine.
Main goal is to make drug susceptible for Phase II.
CYP 3A4
Most common liver enzyme in humans.
CYP 2D6
Metabolizes a lot, but contributes less liver metabolism than 3A4.
Hepatic Profile
Variety in drug response (up to 200 fold difference)
p450
Hemoprotein - ives cell a red color, absorbs at 450 nm.
Complexing enzyme with CO, Fe. (Redox)
Substrate is drug-ferric complex.
p450 Reaction
Redox reaction, add a single O from O2 via complex reaction scheme to yield drug-ferric complex.
Inter-person variability.
Liver p450 enzymes profiles differ between people to cause greatest variability between inter-person variability.
genetic polymorphism
gene exists in 2+ forms.
product enzyme has substantial deletion or minor.
Major difference: deletion
Minor difference: substitution
Result of genetic polymorphism
Increased/decreased/inactive activity.
CYP 2D6 wildtype
Extensive metabolizers.
Steeper slopes.
Bioavailability is the same.
CYP 2D6 altered
Poor metabolizers.
Less steep slopes.
Bioavailability is the same.
CYP 2D6 variation
Racial
2+ different alles
Reducing CLINT
Reduces Elimination
Endogenous factor
P450 activity foes down with age.
1/2 life/elimination and elimination is similar between ages.
Peak is higher for old people: higher bioavailabiliyu.
Propanolol
High extraction ratio.
Phenacetin
Smokers have reduced peak, bioavaivlity is reduced, drug cleared more quickly.
CYP induction
Environment, diet.
CYP 1As induction
cigarettes, charred beef (transcriptional level - more protein), cruciferous vegs.
CYP 2Bs induction
Pesticides, barbiturates.
CYP 3As induction
Many drugs, including St. john's wort. nduces its own metabolism, expresses more enzymes.
CYP 3A4 inhibition
Irreversible knock up by grapefruit juice.
Risk: drug not cleared at normal speed.
Polypharmacy
Competitive inhibition for metabolism.
1+ drugs fighting for 1 enzyme, can increase bioavailability.
3A4 induction
3A4 induces its own metabolism, expresses more enzymes.
Phase II reactions
Glucoronidation, sulfation, acetylation, glutathionylation
glutathionylation
Detox, deals with damaging species (cancer, cell damage)
Cross talk
UDP Glucoronosyl transferase (UGT)
high levels in liver smooth ER
Forms glucoronide (O-UDP) conjugate (MW> 400, excrete in bile)
Next to p450, so can quickly take its metabolites and react.
Enterohepatic recirculation
Generate glucorynite, pass to intestines.
Intestinal enzymes remove glucoronide, drug reabsorbed into liver, then systemic circulation.
Bile salts
Eliminate fat cells, reuse bile salts 20 times.
Disulforam
Glucoronation. Makes alcoholics sick.
Direct Phase II, get 2 products.
Sulfanialmide
Add glucuronide to amine, sulfonamide or both.
UDP endogenous ligand
Coagulates and eliminates bilirubin.
Infant jaundice
UDP not developed yet, can't get eliminate bilirubin.
Morphine
Glucoronidation on -OHs.
Glucoronidation
Morphine, salicyclic acid, sulfinamide, disulfiram.
UDP enzyme.
Sulfation
Sulfotransferase enzyme acts on Phase I metabolites.
Product is water soluble sulfate.
But, sulfate is inert, must form high energy complex large molecule too.
Sulfate + ATP -> ADP sulfate + phosphate -> PAPs.
PAP
Sulfate + ATP + P is reactive ligand for sulfonation reactions.
Sulfutransferase ligands
Binds most drugs with high affinity.
BUT when [drug] is high, glucoronidation is preferred.
Acetylation
Occurs in Kupffer cells of liver.
Acretyl coA req, for all N-groups ntibacterial drugs.
**Product less soluble than parent drug.
NAT-1, NAT-2.
Adding on CoASH
Acetylation Endogenous Roles
Biosynthesis of glucotrienes for immune reposne.
Solubility of Acetylation CoASH conjugates
Some have low solubility, decreased solvation results in crytsals, kidney damage.
NAT-2
Acetylation enzyme, genetic polymorphism.
Low peaks = slow acetylators vs High peaks = fast acetylators.
Predict kidney damage from acetylators
Fast acetylators more likely to get kidney damage.
Acetylator Test
Take drug in the morning, collect urine all day.
2 tubes, one with HCl, boil, hydrolyzing n-acetal bonds to get parent drug back.
Tube 1 is acetyl. and non.acetyl.
Tube 2 is non-acetyl. only, brightness of purple dye.
% drug excreted in acetyl.form: well above or below 70%.
Gluthathinione Conjugation
1' Protection mechanism against electrophilic species.
Glutathione S-transferase (GST)
Electrophilic species
Damage cells, ie DNA and cancer.
Glutathione S-transferase (GST_
Soluble enzyme in liver and kidney.
Forms electrophile and gluthathione (tri-peptide) complex.
Glutathinione
Glu-cys-gly. Tripeptide ligand of gluthathinione conjugations.
Tylenol
Liver Damage
Small bit turns to NAPQI, electrophilic toxin, causes irreversible damage.
Tylenol Mechanism
NAPQI is electrophlic toxin, conjugates with gluthathinone, but [gluth] is limited.
Over dosing = depleting [gluth]
Metabolites in urine:
2 peptidase enzymes cut: 1. Glu 2. Gly 3. Cys
N acetyl transferase (NAT) recognizes amine to make NAPQI-mercapturate.
Tylenol safety mechanism
Suicidal people - Capsule has n-acetyl Cys ot Met, can conjugate NAPQI without enzyme.
Chirality of warfarin
Same 1' structure, not all fits into binding pockets.
Chirality
Different pathways, rates and K elimination.
Racemic Mixtures
Must test both, can't administer 1 only because body enzymes synthesize stereoisomer.
