1
Q

Glucuronyl transferase

A

the only phase II enzyme that is microsomal and inducible

2
Q

CYP450

A

microsymal enzymes in the liver, perform oxidation of multiple drugs and foreign molecules. form OH

3
Q

subtypes of CYP450

A

3A4- metabolize >50% drugs
2D6- impairs codeine metabolism
2E1- metabolizes & is induced by alcohol (increases drug toxicity!!)

4
Q

Why is CYP2E1 dangerous?

A

it increases the metabolism of acetaminophen and increases potential hepatotoxicity caused by the metabolites

5
Q

Smoking/chargrilled foods are inducers of

A

CYP 1A2

6
Q

Barbiturates/phenobarbital, St Johns Wort are inducers of

A

7
Q

Ethanol is an inducer of

A

2E1

8
Q

Grapefruit juice is an inhibitor of

A

CYP 3A4

9
Q

A

2D6

10
Q

most common types of phase II rxns

A

functional groups (OH, SH, NH2) conjugated with glucuronic acid

11
Q

Genetic polymorphisms

A

mutations lead to enzyme deficiency and altered response to drugs

12
Q

How do you “free” the drug to make it re-absorbable?

A

remove the conjugate! undoes the phase II step basically. done by digestive enzymes in the GI tract

13
Q

Excretion of drug is enhanced by:

A
  1. agents that bind drugs in the intestine (Charcoal) thus increasing peristalsis
  2. antibiotics that eliminate GI bacteria
14
Q

Estrogen (birth control) is re-absorbed into the enterohepatic circulation. This is normal!

A

Problem: when abx are taken, this reduces the amount of GI bacteria and therefore the drug is not unconjugated or re-absorbed
Result: drug is excreted from body! you get pregnant.

15
Q

Antibiotics effect on estrogen

A

they decrease birth control reabsorption consequently eliminating it from body

16
Q

larger Vd

A

means harder to purify the blood through hemodialysis bc it does not bind to the plasma

A

to increase elimination of that drug

68
Q

A

acidic drugs will be trapped and excreted from the body

i.e. Sodium Bicarb

69
Q

If you make urine acidic:

A

basic drugs will be trapped and excreted from the body

i.e. Ammonium Chloride

70
Q

Basic drugs that can accumulate in the BREAST MILK and become trapped (bc breast milk is acidic)

A

Tetracyclines

Phenobarbitol

71
Q

Rate limiting for First Order Elimination

A

plasma concentration

72
Q

Rate limiting for Zero Order Elimination

A

the biological system
if given repeatedly in high doses, will NOT develop a steady state bc it’s not dependent on plasma levels
when given at higher doses than the elimination rate, will accumulate in the body and produce excessive plasma levels and TOXICITY

73
Q

First order

A

certain % of drug is eliminated per time

can accumulate and reach steady state (Css)

74
Q

Zero order

A

certain fixed AMOUNT of drug is eliminated per time
Alcohol 10g/hour
If you drink this much each hour, it will not accumulate and you will not reach steady state.
HOWEVER, if you exceed levels, will build up in plasma and produce TOXICITY= drunk

75
