Cards

Term

Definition

Metabolism

Definition
enzymatic modification of a drug
Term
The goal of metabolism to to convert molecules into___more suitable for___
Definition
Polar forms for Elimination
Term

T/F

All drugs are extensively metabolized

Definition

FALSE

some are not

Term

T/F

Metabloism occurs only in tissues such as the liver

Definition

FALSE

it is rare but it can occur in the blood

Term
What are the 3 categories of metabolites that drugs are turned into? (activity)
Definition

Active:Therapeutic Action

 

Inactive: Excretion

 

Toxic: Tissue damage/Cancer

Term

T/F

 

Once metabolized a drug has either more/less therapuetic activity

Definition

FALSE

 

The metabolism can have no effect on the parent drug

ex. aspirin

Term

Phase I/II

A) Oxidation

B)Glucuronidation

C)Reduction

D)Hydrolyses

Definition

Oxidation- I

Glucuronidation-II

Reducation-I

Hydrolyses-I

Term

Which phase attaches small polar molecules?

Which attaches OH grps?

Definition

Phase II-small polar molecules

Phase I- OH grps

Term
How can we predict drug metabolism?
Definition
It CANT be predicted
Term
Which subcellular sites of metabolism are membrane bound?
Definition

Smooth ER (microsomal)

 

Mitochondria

Term

Microsomal, Cytoplasmic, or Mitochondrial

A) CYP enzymes

B)Alcohol metabolism

C)MAO enzymes

D) Glucuronidation

Definition

A) CYP enzymes      Microsomal

B)Alcohol metabolism          Cytoplasmic

C)MAO enzymes   Mitochondrial

D) Glucuronidation    Microsomal

Term
What provides electrons to the CYP reductase?
Definition
NADPH
Term
Each cycle of CYP adds how many O?
Definition
one: monooxygenation
Term

T/F

 

The oxene species is very electron deficient

Definition

TRUE

 

It is highly reactive and e- deficient

Term
What gives the CYP enzyme its O binding ability?
Definition
The heme group in the active site
Term
CYP 450 catalyzes which reactions?
Definition

aromatic hydroxylation

aliphatic hydroxylation

dealkylation

epoxidation

Oxidation (S, N)

Term
Alcohols are converted to____ and then into_____
Definition
aldehydes then carboxylic acids
Term
Why is ethanol administered for methanol toxicity?
Definition
The ethanol is a competitive inhibitor for the rxn and will get metabolized before the methanol
Term
Which step in the rxn causes a hangover?
Definition
when ethanol is converted into acetaldehyde
Term

T/F

 

MAO rxns are intended for elimination

Definition

FALSE

 

they are not intended to be eliminated

Term
What reactions are catalyzed by MAO?
Definition
oxidative deamination of endogenous amines and some drugs
Term
What 2 enzymes are involved in alcohol metabolism?
Definition

alcohol dehydrogenase

aldehyde dehydrogenase

Term

T/F

Esterases and Amidases need water to carry out their reactions

Definition

TRUE

they are hydrolysis reactions

Term

T/F

 

Glucuronindation is very common and a readily available cofacter

Definition
TRUE
Term

T/F

Glucuronidation  occurs with inversion of stereochemistry

What does this mean?

Definition

TRUE

UDP is in the alpha(bottom) position and the substrate comes in from the beta (top) position and UDP is removed

Term
What is the purpose of adding Glucuronic Acid to a substrate?
Definition
It dramatically increases the polarity of the substrate
Term
Which atoms are substrates for Glucuronidation?
Definition
O, N, S, C
Term

T/F

 

Phenol is a common site for glucuronidation

Definition
TRUE
Term

T/F

 

Glucuronidation occurs in aliphatic and aromatic Carbons

Definition

FALSE

Glucuronidation is very restricted
