The document provides an overview of drug metabolism. It discusses that drug metabolism is important as it converts lipophilic drugs to hydrophilic metabolites that can be readily excreted. The key sites of drug metabolism are the liver, GI tract, lungs and kidneys. Metabolism occurs via phase I and phase II reactions and can activate or deactivate drugs. Factors like enzymes, diet, disease and genetics influence an individual's metabolism. Understanding metabolism is important for drug efficacy, toxicity and interactions.

8. IMPORTANCE OF METABOLISM
To obtain chemical energy
To synthesize complex molecules
To convert nutrient molecule into its precursor form
for future use
10. What is drug metabolism?
Importance of drug metabolism? Why it is
necessary?
How it will takes place?
Where it will takes place?(sites of drug metabolism)
When it will takes place ?
11. WHY DRUG METABOLISM IMPORTANT?
Drugs are mostly lipid soluble, easy to cross membranes, bind to plasma
proteins & reabsorb from renal tubules
Metabolism changes them to water soluble & easily excretable products; also
become inactive or less active
12. Termination of drug action
.Activation of prodrug
.Bioactivation and toxication
.Carcinogenesis
Tetratogenesis
13. Termination of Drug Action
Conversion of drug to active metabolite to active metabolite to
inactive metabolite
Parent compound inactive metabolite
Atropine tropic acid & tropin
propranolol hydroxyl propranolol
14. Inactive active
parent compound metabolite
Eg: Levodopa dopamine
15. Some Xenobiotics Are Metabolized to
Carcinogenic Agents
3,4 Benzopyrene
Aflatoxin
N-Acetylaminofluorene
Metabolites of these agents interact with DNA
16. Small Amounts of Acetaminophen is Converted to the
Reactive Metabolite N-Acetyl benzo quinone imine
bioactivation
Bioactivation of acetaminophen; under certain conditions, the electrophile N-acetyl
benzo quinone imine reacts with tissue macromolecules, causing liver necrosis
17. Some drugs that produce active or toxic
metabolite
Inactive drugs Active metabolite:
(Pro-drugs)
Cyclophophamide Phosphoramide musrard
Prednisone prednisolone
Active drug Active metabolite
Amitriptyline Nortriptyline
Diazepam Oxazepam
Active drug Toxic metabolite
Halothane Trifluoroacetic acid
Paracetamol N-acetyl-p-benzo-quinone-imine
18. Thalidomide is a Teratogen
(teratogenesis)
THALIDOMIDE:
Fetal malformations in humans, monkeys, and rats occur due to
metabolism of the parent compound to a teratogen. This occurs very
early in gestation
20. Sites of drug metabolism
Liver is the principal organ of drug metabolism
Other sites are GI mucosa, lungs, skin and kidneys
Every tissue has some ability to metabolize drugs
Some drugs, after oral administration (clonazepam & propranolol) are
extensively metabolized in GI or liver,
before reaching systemic circulation or sit of action,
called 1st pass effect, it reduces their bioavailability
In the liver cells metabolic enzymes are located in the smooth microsomes
of endoplasmic reticulum
21. CELLULAR SITES OF DRUG
METABOLISM
Cytosol
Mitochondria
Lysosomes
Smooth endoplasmic reticulum (microsomes)
23. Phases of drug metabolism(cont)
Drug metabolism can be categorized to:
Phase-I reactions: oxidations, reductions & hydrolysis
Phase-II reactions: conjugations
Glucuronide conjugation
Aspirin Salicylic acid
COOH COOH
COOH
OCOCH3
OH OH
O OH

Phase-I
Phase-II O

31. ENZYME INDUCTION8
ENZYME INDUCTION 8
Enzyme Induction - increased enzyme protein levels in the
cell
Phenobarbital type induction by many drugs
Polycyclic hydrocarbon type induction by polycyclic
hydrocarbons such as 3,4-benzopyrene and 3-
methylcholanthrene
34. Consequences of Induction
Increased rate of metabolism
Decrease in drug plasma concentration
Enhanced oral first pass metabolism
Reduced bioavailability
If metabolite is active or reactive, increased
drug effects or toxicity
35. Therapeutic Implications of Induction
Most drugs can exhibit decreased efficacy due to rapid metabolism
but drugs with active metabolites can display
increased drug effect and/or toxicity due to enzyme
induction
Dosing rates may need to be increased to maintain
effective plasma concentrations
37. Consequences of
Inhibition
Increase in the plasma concentration of parent drug
Reduction in metabolite concentration
Exaggerated and prolonged pharmacological effects
Increased liklihood of drug-induced toxicity
38. Therapeutic implications
of Inhibition
May occur rapidly with no warning
Particularly effects drug prescribing for patients on multidrug regimens
Knowledge of the CYP450 metabolic pathway provides basis for
predicting and understanding inhibition
Esp drug drug interaction
39. Enzyme inhibitors &drugs affected by them
Inhibitor Drugs affected
MAO Barbiturates,Tyramine
Coumarins Phenytoin
Allopurinol 6-mercaptopurin
PAS Phenytoin
Hexobarbitol
40. ENVIRONMENTAL CHEMICALS
DDT
Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons-enzyme induction effect
Organo phosphate insecticides
Heavy metals-Mercury,Cobalt,Arsenic(enzyme inhibition
effect)
Temperature
Atmospheric pressure
42. Ethnic variations in the N-Acetylation of
Isoniazid
Ethnic group % of slow % of rapid
acetylators acetylators
Whiters 45 55
(USA,Canada)
Blacks(USA) 48 52
Latin Americans 67 33
American Indians 79 21
Japanes 87 13
Eskimos 98 05
44. DIET
Charcoal broiled foods (contain polycyclic
hydrocarbons that increase certain enzyme protein in
cells)
Grapefruit juice (the active component is the
furancoumarin 6,7-dihydroxybergamottin which
inhibits a certain a group of microsomal enzymes)
45. State of health
Hepatitis
Liver cancer
Cardiac insufficiency
46. CONCLUSION:
Final conclusion of this study is enzymes will play a major
role In drug metabolism especially cyp 450 .Lack of these
enzymes will sometimes makes the drug low efficient
47. CASE STUDY
A37-year-old woman visited her dentist for removal of her
wisdom teeth. The teeth were found to be impacted, and
removal necessitated extensive surgery. Following completion
of the procedure on one side of the mouth, the patient was given
a prescription for acetaminophen 300 mg with codeine 30 mg
(combination product) for the relief of pain. The patient took
the prescription as prescribed for approximately 2 days, but
little pain relief was achieved. She called the dentist to get a
prescription for another analgesic. What is a possible explanation
for this lack of efficacy?
