2
Pharmacokinetic absorption distribution BIOTRANSFORMATION elimination
3
Oral Administration Intestines Liver Intravenous Administration Metabolism
4
GI: Biliary-Fecal Route liver bile gall bladder GI track blood Enterohepatic cycle
5
GI: Biliary-Fecal Route n lipid soluble drugs have prolonged effects
6
Oral Drugs n enter stomach: highly acidic environment n absorbed by GI tract into portal circulation of the liver first-pass effect first-pass effect
7
First Pass Effect n pass through liver before reaching circulation n undergo metabolism by liver
8
Biotransformation chemical alteration of drug
9
Biotransformation Biotransformation n change size size lipid solubility lipid solubility charge or polarity charge or polarity
10
Sites of biotransformation n liver: greatest activity n others intestines, kidneys, brain, & plasma intestines, kidneys, brain, & plasma
11
Factors Affecting Biotransformation
12
Age n very young less developed enzyme system less developed enzyme system less developed blood brain barrier less developed blood brain barrier n very old decreased GI absorption decreased GI absorption decreased renal clearance decreased renal clearance
13
Disease n altered liver enzymes liver disease liver disease – most decrease enzymes – some may increase
14
Disease n other diseases that decreased liver enzymes hypothyroid hypothyroid hypoxemia hypoxemia malnutrition malnutrition
15
Other n genetic alterations or defects in enzymes metabolize drug more slowly or more rapidly metabolize drug more slowly or more rapidly
16
Biotransformation
17
Decreased Activity of Liver Enzymes n decreased rate of biotransformation can result in toxic effects
18
Metabolism (Biotransformation) n Two effects Transformation to less active metabolite Transformation to less active metabolite Enhancement of solubility Enhancement of solubility n Liver = primary site n Liver disease Slows metabolism Slows metabolism Prolongs effects Prolongs effects
19
Hepatic ‘First-Pass’ Metabolism n Affects orally administered drugs n Metabolism of drug by liver before drug reaches systemic circulation n Drug absorbed into portal circulation, must pass through liver to reach systemic circulation n May reduce availability of drug
20
Elimination Elimination Drug Metabolism (Biotransformation) Excretion
21
Drug Metabolism n The chemical modification of drugs with the overall goal of getting rid of the drug n Enzymes are typically involved in metabolism Drug Metabolism More polar (water soluble) Drug Excretion
22
ABSORPTION METABOLISM ELIMINATION Phase I Phase II Phase I Phase II Drug Conjugate Drug metabolite with Conjugate Drug metabolite with Conjugate modified activity modified activityDrug Inactive drug Conjugate Inactive drug Conjugate metabolite metaboliteDrug LipophilicHydrophilic LipophilicHydrophilic
23
METABOLISM REACTION n I. PHASE - I - Oxidation : Morphin, acetaminophen acetaminophen - Reduction : Chloramphenicol, Clonazepam Clonazepam - Hydrolisis : Aspirin, Lidocain
24
METABOLISM REACTION n II. PHASE- II - Conjugation : Morphin (process glucuroridation), (process glucuroridation), INH (process acetilation), INH (process acetilation), etc. etc.
25
Sites of Drug Metabolism n Metabolism occurs in many tissues n E.g. brain, kidney, lung n But mostly in the liver because … all of the blood in the body passes through the liver.
26
Consequences Of Metabolism n Drug metabolism != Drug inactivation n The metabolite may have Equal activity to the drug No or reduced activity Increased activity (Prodrugs) Toxic properties
27
METABOLISM KINETIC n 1.First order kinetic if drugs lower doses if drugs lower doses metabolism rapidly. metabolism rapidly. n 2.Zerro order kinetic if drugs higher doses if drugs higher doses metabolism slowly. metabolism slowly.
28
The Most Important Enzymes Microsomal cytochrome P450 monooxygenase family of enzymes, which oxidize drugs Microsomal cytochrome P450 monooxygenase family of enzymes, which oxidize drugs Act on structurally unrelated drugs Act on structurally unrelated drugs Metabolize the widest range of Metabolize the widest range of drugs. drugs.
29
Alteration in “first pass metabolism” (note: high clearance drug have > 30% extraction from hepatic blood (F 30% extraction from hepatic blood (F < 0.7)) a drug that inhibits hepatic metabolism will increase bioavailability of high clearance drug (provided it is metabolised by the enzyme(s) inhibited) and vice-versa a drug that inhibits hepatic metabolism will increase bioavailability of high clearance drug (provided it is metabolised by the enzyme(s) inhibited) and vice-versa
30
Examples: – cimetidine inhibits CYP450s, therefore doubles oral propranolol bioavailability – phenytoin induces enzymes, therefore decreases felodipine bioavailability – acute alcohol intake inhibits a CYP, therefore amitriptiline bioavailability is higher
31
Enzyme Inhibition (drugs that reduce hepatic blood flow also inhibit metabolism of high clearance drugs) (drugs that reduce hepatic blood flow also inhibit metabolism of high clearance drugs) if this metabolic route is a major pathway of elimination, drug kinetics will change (increase Css and T(1/2)) and therefore drug response will change if this metabolic route is a major pathway of elimination, drug kinetics will change (increase Css and T(1/2)) and therefore drug response will change enzyme inhibition is immediate, and on cessation of inhibitor, reversion to normal is immediate enzyme inhibition is immediate, and on cessation of inhibitor, reversion to normal is immediate
32
examples: examples: – metronidazole decreases clearance of warfarin by 40% – cimetidine decreases clearance of phenytoin by 35% – propranolo decreases clearance of lignocaine by 50% (by reducing hepatic blood flow) – omeprazole decreases clearance of warfarin
33
examples with regards to enzymes other than cytochrome P450s example 1: allopurinol example 1: allopurinol – is a xanthine oxidase inhibitor (used as an anti-gout agent) – also inhibits metabolism of cytotoxic agent 6- mercaptopurine (6-MP) – therefore concurrent use of allopurinol and 6-MP leads to elevated plasma levels of 6-MP and toxicity
34
example 2: disulfiram example 2: disulfiram – inhibits aldehyde dehydrogenase – therefore is used to give alcoholics a nasty "aldehyde reaction" when they take alcohol
35
Alteration of liver blood flow: for high first pass clearance drugs only, a fall in liver blood flow will cause a clear reduction in systemic clearance for high first pass clearance drugs only, a fall in liver blood flow will cause a clear reduction in systemic clearance example: lignocaine toxicity can occur when patients are given a beta-blocker which reduces liver blood flow example: lignocaine toxicity can occur when patients are given a beta-blocker which reduces liver blood flow
36
Importance § Toxic drugs may accumulate § Useful drugs may have no benefit because doses are too small to establish therapy § A drug can be rapidly metabolized.
