Question
Answer
two primary ways in which drugs are eliminated from the body   show
🗑
show intestine  
🗑
show liver; first pass metabolism  
🗑
Biotransformation   show
🗑
show xenobiotics  
🗑
show derivative of drug structure; usually inactive or less active  
🗑
biotransformation result in a metabolite that is no longer able to produce a therapeutic response   show
🗑
In some cases, the drug is inactive and the biotransformation results in   show
🗑
want to make the xenobiotics more polar to excrete   show
🗑
most drugs are biotransformed prior to excretion because they are not   show
🗑
show less active or inactive as compared to parent drug; metabolite can no longer produce therapeutic response  
🗑
in some cases biotransformation results in   show
🗑
show prodrug; must be biotransformed to have therapeutic response  
🗑
show cant actually make more or less active  
🗑
biotransformation occurs mainly in the   show
🗑
show GI tract to enter bloodstream; once in bloodstream drugs are transported directly to liver via hepatic poral vein then to circulation  
🗑
a considerable percentage of of an orally ingested dose is often metabolized   show
🗑
show "first pass"- through liver  
🗑
an active drug can go two routes   show
🗑
at site of action the chemical structure is not active   show
🗑
show not "in the body"  
🗑
orally ingested drugs go to -->   show
🗑
show no way to tell; can be a barrier to get drug into bloodstream  
🗑
show CYP450's; superfamily thats responsible for majority of all drug biotransformations  
🗑
cytochrome P450's are heme containing proteins that are capable of the following rxn's   show
🗑
enzyme involved in drug-drug interactions   show
🗑
show Inducer; induction  
🗑
show inhibition  
🗑
show basically the high affinity drug will hog the active sites and the low affinity drugs wont be metabolized  
🗑
when less enzymes are available what happens to drug concentration in bloodstream?   show
🗑
show drugs that are affected by the actions of inhibitors and inducers  
🗑
show inhibitors; less enzymes= less metabolism  
🗑
increases amount of enzymes   show
🗑
must abundant subfamily of human cytochrome enzymes   show
🗑
show prodrugs; it is then transformed into an active substance either by chemical or metabolic means  
🗑
designed to take advantage of absorption or metabolic properties to provide optimal drug therapy   show
🗑
show true; ex:chloramphenicol succinate is chemically inactive until release into bloodstream (IV)  
🗑
show this helps keep the inactive form from stomach upset; it becomes active in the liver  
🗑
show inhibition; too many drugs and not enough enzymes  
🗑
EX: a decrease in the active form of a drug occurs   show
🗑
show Inducer; lots of enzymes to activate the prodrug  
🗑
EX: a decrease in the plasma concentration of the active form of PROdrug   show
🗑
show No metabolism because enzyme doesnt work  
🗑
show Phase I and Phase II  
🗑
show Phase I; introduce or expose a functional group on a compound to make more polar (hydrophilic)  
🗑
Phase that generally results in loss of activity   show
🗑
show Phase II; covalent linkage between functional group ON the parent drug and a highly polar conjugate; to make more hydrophilic  
🗑
Phase I doesnt always happen, neither does Phase II   show
🗑
entero   show
🗑
Microflora in intestines can cleave the covalent bond made during Phase II biotransformations which does what?   show
🗑
Reversal of Phase II rxn   show
🗑
Phase I reactions (dealkylation)KNOW*   show
🗑
show Aliphatic and aromatic hydroxylation- addition of OH group; can also result in a doubly bonded O  
🗑
show N and S; addition of O to N or S  
🗑
show remove amine; done via oxygen  
🗑
show breaking of a bond with addition of H2O  
🗑
Phase II reactions Glucuronidation   show
🗑
show add a sulfate (SO3--)  
🗑
show SCoA + RNH2 --> NHR plus CoASH  
🗑
show a tripeptide of glutamate, cysteine, and glycine that picks things up to help them be excreted  
🗑
show Primarily kidneys and liver in high concentrations; detoxification of xwnobiotics via Phase II conjugation  
🗑
GSH is metabolized to what in order to be excreted?   show
🗑
show glutathione S- transferases  
🗑
Electrophilic substrate that wants electrons   show
🗑
Glutathione Adduct or Conjugate is what   show
🗑
Mercapturic Acid   show
🗑
show 60% Glucuronide, 30% Sulfate -->both go toward renal excretion  
🗑
Oxidized Acetaminophen becomes   show
🗑
