What are the Phase I reactions in drug metabolism?

HOR


Hydrolysis


Oxidation


Reduction



(with cytochrome 450)

What characteristics do phase I metabolites have?

Slightly polar


Water soluble


Active

What goes first? Phase I or II?

they can go in EITHER order or EITHER OR

What are the phase II reactions in drug metabolism?

GAS


Glucuronidation


Acetylation


Sulfation


Methylation


(all conjugation reactions)

Geriatric patients have GAS

What phase do geriatric patients lose in drug metabolism?

Both, but they can lose phase I first.

What characteristics do phase II metabolites have?

Very polar


Inactive


(Renally excreted)

People who are slow acetylators...

Have greater side effects from certain drugs because their is a decreased metabolism. BUILT-UP substance, higher risk of toxicity.

What cytochrome P450 metabolizes 50% of all drug reactions?

CYP3A4

If you administer 2 drugs that are metabolized by the same cytochrome P450, what might happen?

longer for both drugs to be inactivated, increased plasma levels or prolonged action of one or both drugs

What substances inhibit cytochrome p450?

CRACK AMIGOS:


Cimentidine, Ritonavir, Amiodarone, Ciprofloxacin, Ketoconazole, Acute alcohol use, Macrolides, Isoniazid, Grapefuit juice, Omeprazol, Sulfonamides.

CRACK AMIGOS: inhibit yourself from it ;)

What substances induce cytochrome p450?

Guinness, Coronas and PBRs induce Chronic Alcoholism



Griseofulvin, Carbamazepin, Phenytoin, Barbituates, Rifampin, St. Johns wort, Chronic alcoholism

Guinness, Coronas and PBRs induce chronic alcoholism

What are the 2 key enzymes responsible in ethanol metabolism?

Ethahol->Alchohol dehydrogenase->Acetaldehyde->Acetaldehyde dehydrogenase->Acetate



What drug inhibits the enzyme alcohol dehydrogenase?

Fomepizole


- It can be used in intoxication with methanol and ethylene glycol


Ethanol


- Competes for attention from enzyme

What SE does methanol intoxication produce?

Formaldehyde, the toxic metabolite, causes SE of acidosis, retinal damage, blindness

What SE does ethylene glycol intoxication produce?

Oxalic acid, the toxic metabolite, causes SE of acidosis, kidney problems (bc of crystal depsits), CNS problems, heart/lung toxicity?

In what cases might you see methanol and ethylene glycol intoxication?

Methanol is used by some dumbasses to get drunk or to commit suicide. Whereas ethylene glycol is sweet and ingested by kids and animals.

What drug inhibits the enzyme acetaldehyde dehydrogenase?

Disulfiram


It is used in treatment for alcoholism by making acetaldehyde build up



What SE does acetaldehyde accumulation produce?

Flushing, sweating, headache, headache, nausea, vomiting, hypotension

What drugs cause disulfiram-like reaction?

- Metronizadole


- Certain cephalosporins


- Procarbazine


- 1st generation sulfonylureas

What is zero-order elimination?

- Constant amount of drug eliminated per unit time (e.g. constant miligrams per hour)


- Plasma concentration decreases linearly with time

What drugs are zero-order elimination?

PEA: round like 0



Phenytoin


Ethanol


Aspirin

PEA

What is first-order elimination?

- Constant proportion (%) of drug is eliminated per unit of time (regarless the mg)


- Plasma concentration decreases exponentially with time


After a drug has been inactivated, what are the two routes of elimination?

- Bile->feces


- Renal->Urine

What characteristics do inactive drugs need to have in order to be cleared quickly by the kidney?

They must be polar, hydrophilic, charged (ionized) species in order to get trapped in the urine. Neutral forms can be reabsorbed.

What is the acid dissociation constant?

"pKa"



Is the pH at which the non-protonated form (A + B) = the amount of protonated form (HA or BH)

If pH < pKa, what will you expect to see?

If pH is low (acidic) , and less than pKa, there will be more protonated form.

If pH > pKa, what will you expect to see?

If pH is high (basic), and more than pKa, there will be more of the nonprotonated form.

What substances get trapped in the urine in basic enviroments?

Weak acids: RCOO- + H+



Phenobartital, methotrexate, aspirin

What substances get trapped in the urine in acidic enviroments?

Weak bases: NH3+



Amphetamines
