PG & PK 2 Flashcards
(29 cards)
Phase I
Generates more polar compounds
Phase II
Generates more conjugates
Both Phase I and II
Increase water solubility
Phase I Drug Metabolism Mechanisms?
Cytochrome P450 Azo/nitro reduction Dehalogenation Desulfuration Ester/Peptide hydrolysis Dealkylation, deamination
What do CYP450s do?
Oxidize drugs making them polar by putting on a “OH” group
Inducers of P450?
Increase activity
Inhibitors of P450?
Decrease activity
What do you need to now about P450 to be useful?
What P450 and are the affected by inhibitors or inducers
What are the pharmacologically important CYPs?
CYP1-3
CYP4 is mainly used for?
Lipid metabolism
CYP2B6 and CYP2C19 do?
S-mephenytoin
1A2 does?
Caffeine melatonin and theophylline
2A6 does?
Coumarin Nicotine
2B6 does?
Bupropion, efavirenz
2C8 does?
Paclitaxel and pioglittazone
2C9 does?
Tolbutamide
flurbiprofen
warfarin
2C19 does?
omeprazole
CYP3A4
Responsible for clearance of almost half of all drugs
Mainly in liver (1/3)Wide activity range
What can’t you take with CYP3A4?
Grapefruit juice
2C9*2 Races
10-14% White
3% Black
2C9*3 Races
1-2% Asian
7-10% White
0.8% Black
Hetero or homo makes a bigger difference with 2C9?
Homo –> poor metabolizers (basically no activity)
2C19
S-mephenytoin
Poor metabolizers of 2C19 races?
- 9% black
- 6 % asian
- 8% white
