Refer to slide 17
32
Describe, very briefly, personalized medicine.
Because there are genetic differences in drug metabolic ability, the goal is to sample a patient to determine his or her genotype, and change the dose of the drug accordingly to their metabolic profile.
33
Cytochrome p450 - a ____-oxygenase reaction
mono
34
When the drug enters, it binds to what part of Cytp450? | What happens?
heme portion, drug pairs with iron-coordinating with oxygen Iron 3 oxidized to iron 2 One molecule of oxygen moves to the drug, and one goes with hydrogen to form water.
35
______ ________ demonstrate decreased responsiveness to typical doses of codeine; _____-____ _______ have suffered overdoses.
PM | URM
36
Why would URM suffer overdoses rather than PM in regards to codeine?
Codeine is converted to morphine. URM can rapidly and extensively convert codeine to morphine, leading to overdoses.
37
When talking about oxidation, how do we know the metabolic pathway the drug underwent?
During phase 1 study of pre-clinical trial, subject like monkey or healthy human takes a radiolabelled drug, excreted in urine or feces and analyzed to determine enzymes involved.
38
What is the general reaction of oxidation of drugs?

Is acetaminophen safe?
Yes, for the most part. However, after phase 1 metabolism, it is converted to a toxic compound which, for the most part, is converted by phase 2 metabolism to a safe compound.

Intestinal CYP34A
75
What will grapefruit juice do?
Inhibits CYP34A, thereby increasing the amount of drug that reaches the liver and the systemic circulation
76
Describe how CYP34A will reduce bioavailability.
Occurs prior to first-pass metabolism. | CYP34A lines intestinal tract, will oxidize the drug, making it more polar and reducing available drug.
