Effect is the outcome ofinteraction between susceptibility and exposure
An example of metabolic activation-detoxication • Organophosphate Insecticides: • Parathion • Malathion
Hydrolysis enzymes • Serum cholinesterase BChE • Serum paraoxonase PON1 • Polymorphisms in PON1 – differential sensitivity
Exposure • External exposure – ambient air, water • Dose received by body • Dose at target organ • Dose at target tissue • Dose at target molecule • Molecular dose • Repair
Exposure – DoseHow are they related ?Can we measure them ?How can we describe the crucial steps so that we can estimate what we can’t measure?
Enzymes: Biological catalysts • Proteins • May have metals at active site • Act on “substrate” • May use/require co-factors
Kinetics of Enzyme-catalyzed Reactions Michaelis-Menten Equation: v = Vmax * [S] Km + [S] First-order where Km >> [S] Zero-order where [S] >> Km
First-Order Processes • Follow exponential time course • Rate is concentration-dependent v = [A]/t = k[A] • Units of k are 1/time, e.g. h-1 • Unsaturated carrier-mediated processes • Unsaturated enzyme-mediated processes
Second-Order Processes • Follow exponential time course • Rate is dependent on concentration of two reactants v = [A]/t = k[A]*[B]
Steady-state kinetics k1 k2 E + S ES E + P [ES] is constant, i.e. ES/t = 0 k-1
Saturated metabolism • Saturated activation • Saturated detoxication
Uptake Higher concentration Carrier Pore Diffusion Lipid bilayer Facilitated diffusion Active transport Filtration Lower concentration
Absorption - uptake • Passive diffusion • Filtration • Carrier-mediated Elimination - excretion
kin kout The single compartment(one compartment) model
Kinetics of absorption • Absorption is generally a first-order process • Absorption constant = ka • Concentration inside the compartment = C • C/t = ka * D where D = external dose
Kinetics of elimination • Elimination is also generally a first-order process • Removal rate constant k, the sum of all removal processes • C/t = -kC where C = concentration inside compartment • C = C0e-kt • Log10C = Log10C0 - kt/2.303
First-order elimination Half-life, t1/2 Units: time t1/2 = 0.693/k
