Chap 4 Drug Metabolism Flashcards

1
Q

Describe First Pass effect:

A

The oral route of administration entails passage of the drug through:

  1. gastric
  2. intestinal contents
  3. the epithelium and other tissues of the intestinal wall
  4. portal blood
  5. the liver before it enters the systemic circulation for distribution to the body.

Metabolism by enzymes in any of these tissues, expulsion by drug transporters, and excretion into the bile all may contribute to the first-pass effect of oral administration.

Q

Reduction reaction:

A

Reduction is chemical reaction that involves the gaining of electrons by one of the atoms involved in the reaction.

The term refers to the element that accepts electrons, as the oxidation state of the element that gains electrons is lowered

Q

Hydrolysis:

A

Hydrolysis is a reaction involving the breaking of a bond in a molecule using water.

The reaction mainly occurs between an ion and water molecules and often changes the pH of a solution.

In chemistry, there are three main types of hydrolysis: salt hydrolysis, acid hydrolysis, and base hydrolysis.

A

The joining of a toxic substance with some natural substance of the body to form a detoxified product for elimination from the body.

A

P-glycoprotein (P-gp), is an important modulator of intestinal drug transport and usually functions to expel drugs from the intestinal mucosa into the lumen, thus contributing to presystemic (first pass) elimination
