Q

What is the mechanism of toxicity of Phenobarbital?
A) Reduced prostaglandin synthesis leading to reduced renal blood flow and tubular
necrosis in the kidneys

B) Induction of cytochrome P450 mediated oxidation in the liver when glucuronidation
and sulfation pathways are saturated, leading to the production of N-acetyl-p-
benzoquinone imine (a toxic metabolite)

C) Induces Cytochrome P450 enzymes causing accelerated metabolism of other
drugs, dietary components, or environmental toxins leading to secondary
hepatotoxicity

D) Increases renal calcium and phosphorus reabsorption in distal tubule, leading to
hypercalcemia and hyperphosphatemia, therefore increasing risk for soft tissue
mineralization
