XENOBIOTIC METABOLISM • Toxicants (xenobiotics) catalyze by enzymes to form metabolite (s) with modified structure • Several routes of metabolism found in vivo • May inactivate or bioactivate action • Liver is the major site of metabolism • Genetically variation with some enzymes • Not constant - can be changed by other chemicals; basic of many interactions W. Tassaneeyakul

XENOBIOTIC METABOLISM … metabolism is what the body does to the toxicants ….. • Toxicants may converted to • Less toxic chemicals (metabolite) , or • More toxic chemicals (metabolite) , or • Chemicals with different type of effect or toxicity W. Tassaneeyakul
Sites of Metabolism where ever appropriate enzymes occur; • plasma, • kidney, • lung, • gut wall and LIVER • the liver is ideally placed to intercept natural ingested toxins (bypassed by injections etc) and has a major role in biotransformation W. Tassaneeyakul
The Liver Hepatocytes (liver cells) smooth endoplasmic reticulum bile portal venous blood Feces microsomes contain cytochrome P450 (CYP) systemic arterial blood venous blood Urine, Expiration W. Tassaneeyakul
Lipophilic toxicant Biotransformation Hydrophilic metabolite Metabolite excreted W. Tassaneeyakul
Types of Biotransformation Reaction Any structural change in a molecule Phase I - creates site for phase II oxidation (adds O) e.g. microsomes; reduction ; hydrolysis (e.g. by plasma esterases) others Phase II - couples group to existing (or phase I formed) conjugation site glucuronide (with glucuronic acid) sulphate others W.

Xenobiotic-Metabolizing Enzymes (XME) Phase 1 P450s Flavin-containing monoxygenases (FMO) Epoxide hydrolases Phase 2 “Transferases” Sulfotransferases (ST) UDP-glucuronosyltransferases (UGT) Gluthione S-transferases (GST) W. Tassaneeyakul

PHASE 1 reactions Hydroxylation -CH2CH3 -CH2CH2OH Oxidation-CH2OH -CHO -COOH N-dealkylation -N(CH3)2 - NHCH3 + CH3OH Oxidative deamination-CH2CHCH3 -CHCOCH3 + NH3 | NH2 W. Tassaneeyakul
Phase I Enzymes • Cytochromes P450 • Flavin Containing Monooxygenase • Epoxide Hydrolase • Alcohol /Aldehyde Dehydrogenases • Monoamine Oxidases • Xanthine oxidase W. Tassaneeyakul
Cytochromes P450 (CYP) • Most importance enzyme in xenobiotic metabolism • Membrane bound enzyme : locate in smooth endoplasmic reticulum membrane • All require NADPH and O2 • Divided to Family : Subfamily : Isoform • CYP1, CYP2, CYP3 : involved in the metabolism of xenobiotic W. Tassaneeyakul

Other (non-microsomal) Phase I reactions • Hydrolysis in plasma by esterases(suxamethonium by cholinesterase) • Alcohol and aldehyde dehydrogenase in liver cytosolic(ethanol) • Monoamine oxidase in mitochondria (tyramine, noradrenaline, dopamine, amines) • Xanthine oxidase(6-mercaptopurine, uric acid production) • Enzymes for particular substrates (tyrosine hydroxylase, dopa-decarboxylaseetc.) W. Tassaneeyakul
PHASE 2 Reactions • CONJUGATIONS • -OH, -SH, -COOH, -CONH with glucuronic acid to give glucuronides • -OH with sulphate to give sulphates • -NH2, -CONH2, amino acids, sulpha drugs with acetyl- to give acetylated derivatives • -halo, -nitrate, epoxide, sulphate with glutathione to give glutathione conjugates • all tend to be less lipid soluble and therefore better excreted (less well reabsorbed) W.

Factors Affecting Metabolism • Age(reduced in aged & children) • Sex(women more sensitive to ethanol) • Species(phenylbutazone 3h rabbit, 6h horse, 8h monkey, 18h mouse, 36h man) • Race(fast and slow isoniazid acetylators, fast = 95% Eskimo, 50% Brits, 13% Finns 13% Egyptians) • Clinical or physiologicalconditions W.

CP UDPGT Conjugated-CP Excretion GREY BABY SYNDROME (toxicity of chloramphenicol in newborn baby) Volmiting irregular & rapid respiration Cyanosis AGE • Fetus & Neonate : • Lower drug metabolizing capacity compare to adult • Sensitive to drug, • Long duration of action • Glucoronosyltransferase (UDPGT) % Enzyme activity Birth Adult
Rate of Hexobarbital metabolism SPECIES Coumarin : 7-Hydroxylation found in only human, rabbit, cat but not in rat, mice Therefore animal used for toxicity test must has the drug metabolism process similar to human
Variation in toxicant metabolism Variation of toxicant level in the body Variation of toxicant response/toxicity GENETICS • Activity of xenobiotic metabolizing enzymes can be vary between individual • Population can be divided to RAPID METABOLIZER and SLOW METABOLIZERS
DISEASES • Liver diseases : reduced drug metabolism • cirrhosis • Acute alcohol exposure chronic ethanol exposure alcoholic cirrhosis • Endrocrine disorders : diabetes Hormones Thyroid hormone Insulin Pituitary hormone Sex hormones
