Drug Metabolism • Where? • First-Pass Effect • More than 1 metabolite! • Varies depending on species, age, gender, genetic variation, disease
Phase I Oxidations Reductions Hydrolysis Phase II Synthetic/Conjugation Phases of Drug Metabolism
Phase I Oxidations • Hydroxylations of N, C, S atoms • N-, O-, and S- dealkylations • Oxidative Deaminations • ROH RCHO RCOOH
Phase I Oxidations: The Enzymes • Mixed Function Oxygenases found in smooth ER, e.g. Cytochrome P-450 • Microsomal Flavin Monoxygenase (FMO) • Alcohol Dehydrogenase • Xanthine Oxidase • Monoamine Oxidase (mitochondria)
Oxidative Deamination/Dealkylations • Can occur on N-, O-, S-, or X- systems • Begins with hydroxylation, followed by elimination • Cytochrome P450 & MAO
Other types of oxidative Reactions • ROH RCHORCOOH • RSHRSSR • Desulfuration (C=S C=O)
Hydrolysis • Nonspecific esterases, amidases • Amides hydrolyze more slowly than esters • May be stereospecific • Occurs in cytosol of cells (liver, kidney, intestine) and in plasma
Reductions • Less common than oxidations • Usually specific enzymes, e.g. aldo-keto reductases, nitro reductases • C=O alcohols • NO2 NH2 • N=N 2 NH2
