biotransformation of drug
Biotransformation/Xenobiotic metabolism/ drug metabolism/detoxification.
-Xenobiotics: a wide variety of foreign compounds to which humans get exposed in day to day life.
-It includes unknown compounds, drugs, environmental pollutants, toxins.
-Many xenobiotics can evoke biological responses.
DEFINITION
The biochemical alteration of drug or xenobiotic in the presence of various enzymes that acts as a catalyst which themselves not consumed in the reaction and there by may activate or deactivate the drug is called biotransformation.
Why Biotransformation is necessary?:
To easily eliminate the drug
To terminate drug action by inactivating it
Consequences of Biotransformation
Active to Inactive:
Phenobarbitone---- Hydroxyphenobarbitone
Inactive (prodrug) to Active :
L-Dopa ---- Dopamine
Parathion -- Paraoxon
Talampicillin -- Ampicillin
Active to equally active:
Diazepam -- Oxazepam
Amitriptyline -- Nortriptyline
Imipramine -- Des-imipramine
Codeine -- Morphine
Sites of biotransformation
In the body: Liver, small and large intestines, lungs, skin, kidney, nasal mucosa & brain.
Liver is considered “metabolite clearing house” for both endogenous substances and xenobiotics.
Intestines are considered “initial site of drug metabolism”.
FIRST PASS METABOLISM:
First pass metabolism or presystemic
metabolism or ‘first pass effect’
After oral administeration many drugs are absorbed from the small intestine - transported first via portal system to the liver, where they undergo extensive metabolism before reaching systemic circulation.
fundamental concepts in drug biotransformation
Lipid soluble drugs are poorly excreted in the urine. They tend to store in fat and/or circulate until they are converted (phase I biotransformation) to more water soluble metabolites or metabolites that conjugate (phase II biotransformation) with water soluble substances.
Water soluble drugs are more readily excreted in the urine. They may be metabolized, but generally not by the CYP enzyme systems.
Enzymes catalyzing phase I biotransformation reactions
Enzymes catalyzing phase I biotransformation reactions include:
cytochrome P-450
aldehyde and alcohol dehydrogenase
deaminases
esterases
amidases
epoxide hydratases
Addition of water
Cleavage of R-O or R-N bond accompanied by addition of H2O
CYTOCHROME P450
The cytochrome P-450 families are referred to using an arabic numeral, e.g., CYP1, CYP2, etc.
Each family has a number of subfamilies denoted by an upper case letter, e.g., CYP2A, CYP2B, etc.
The individual enzymes within each subfamily are denoted by another arabic numeral, e.g., CYP3A1, CYP3A2, etc.

Couples presenting to the infertility clinic- Do they really have infertility...Sujoy Dasgupta
Dr Sujoy Dasgupta presented the study on "Couples presenting to the infertility clinic- Do they really have infertility? – The unexplored stories of non-consummation" in the 13th Congress of the Asia Pacific Initiative on Reproduction (ASPIRE 2024) at Manila on 24 May, 2024.
Ethanol (CH3CH2OH), or beverage alcohol, is a two-carbon alcohol
that is rapidly distributed in the body and brain. Ethanol alters many
neurochemical systems and has rewarding and addictive properties. It
is the oldest recreational drug and likely contributes to more morbidity,
mortality, and public health costs than all illicit drugs combined. The
5th edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders
(DSM-5) integrates alcohol abuse and alcohol dependence into a single
disorder called alcohol use disorder (AUD), with mild, moderate,
and severe subclassifications (American Psychiatric Association, 2013).
In the DSM-5, all types of substance abuse and dependence have been
combined into a single substance use disorder (SUD) on a continuum
from mild to severe. A diagnosis of AUD requires that at least two of
the 11 DSM-5 behaviors be present within a 12-month period (mild
AUD: 2–3 criteria; moderate AUD: 4–5 criteria; severe AUD: 6–11 criteria).
The four main behavioral effects of AUD are impaired control over
drinking, negative social consequences, risky use, and altered physiological
effects (tolerance, withdrawal). This chapter presents an overview
of the prevalence and harmful consequences of AUD in the U.S.,
the systemic nature of the disease, neurocircuitry and stages of AUD,
comorbidities, fetal alcohol spectrum disorders, genetic risk factors, and
pharmacotherapies for AUD.

Flu Vaccine Alert in Bangalore Karnatakaaddon Scans
As flu season approaches, health officials in Bangalore, Karnataka, are urging residents to get their flu vaccinations. The seasonal flu, while common, can lead to severe health complications, particularly for vulnerable populations such as young children, the elderly, and those with underlying health conditions.
Dr. Vidisha Kumari, a leading epidemiologist in Bangalore, emphasizes the importance of getting vaccinated. "The flu vaccine is our best defense against the influenza virus. It not only protects individuals but also helps prevent the spread of the virus in our communities," he says.
This year, the flu season is expected to coincide with a potential increase in other respiratory illnesses. The Karnataka Health Department has launched an awareness campaign highlighting the significance of flu vaccinations. They have set up multiple vaccination centers across Bangalore, making it convenient for residents to receive their shots.
To encourage widespread vaccination, the government is also collaborating with local schools, workplaces, and community centers to facilitate vaccination drives. Special attention is being given to ensuring that the vaccine is accessible to all, including marginalized communities who may have limited access to healthcare.
Residents are reminded that the flu vaccine is safe and effective. Common side effects are mild and may include soreness at the injection site, mild fever, or muscle aches. These side effects are generally short-lived and far less severe than the flu itself.
Healthcare providers are also stressing the importance of continuing COVID-19 precautions. Wearing masks, practicing good hand hygiene, and maintaining social distancing are still crucial, especially in crowded places.
Protect yourself and your loved ones by getting vaccinated. Together, we can help keep Bangalore healthy and safe this flu season. For more information on vaccination centers and schedules, residents can visit the Karnataka Health Department’s official website or follow their social media pages.
Stay informed, stay safe, and get your flu shot today!

New Directions in Targeted Therapeutic Approaches for Older Adults With Mantl...i3 Health
i3 Health is pleased to make the speaker slides from this activity available for use as a non-accredited self-study or teaching resource.
This slide deck presented by Dr. Kami Maddocks, Professor-Clinical in the Division of Hematology and
Associate Division Director for Ambulatory Operations
The Ohio State University Comprehensive Cancer Center, will provide insight into new directions in targeted therapeutic approaches for older adults with mantle cell lymphoma.
STATEMENT OF NEED
Mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) is a rare, aggressive B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) accounting for 5% to 7% of all lymphomas. Its prognosis ranges from indolent disease that does not require treatment for years to very aggressive disease, which is associated with poor survival (Silkenstedt et al, 2021). Typically, MCL is diagnosed at advanced stage and in older patients who cannot tolerate intensive therapy (NCCN, 2022). Although recent advances have slightly increased remission rates, recurrence and relapse remain very common, leading to a median overall survival between 3 and 6 years (LLS, 2021). Though there are several effective options, progress is still needed towards establishing an accepted frontline approach for MCL (Castellino et al, 2022). Treatment selection and management of MCL are complicated by the heterogeneity of prognosis, advanced age and comorbidities of patients, and lack of an established standard approach for treatment, making it vital that clinicians be familiar with the latest research and advances in this area. In this activity chaired by Michael Wang, MD, Professor in the Department of Lymphoma & Myeloma at MD Anderson Cancer Center, expert faculty will discuss prognostic factors informing treatment, the promising results of recent trials in new therapeutic approaches, and the implications of treatment resistance in therapeutic selection for MCL.
Target Audience
Hematology/oncology fellows, attending faculty, and other health care professionals involved in the treatment of patients with mantle cell lymphoma (MCL).
Learning Objectives
1.) Identify clinical and biological prognostic factors that can guide treatment decision making for older adults with MCL
2.) Evaluate emerging data on targeted therapeutic approaches for treatment-naive and relapsed/refractory MCL and their applicability to older adults
3.) Assess mechanisms of resistance to targeted therapies for MCL and their implications for treatment selection

3. What is biotransformation?
• Chemical alteration of drug in the body.
• Why need of biotransformation???
• So highly polar drugs (Streptomycin, neostigmine) --- Do NOT undergo
metabolism- excreted UNCHANGED form
Non polar (lipid soluble)
compound
Polar ( water soluble )
compound Eliminated by kidney
4. • If lipophilic drugs, or xenobiotics were not metabolized to polar,
readily excretable water-soluble products, they would remain indefinitely
in the body, eliciting their biological effects.
So metabolism is helpful for ………
Termination of drug action
Drug elimination- renal /bile/faces
DETOXIFICATION – Toxin/ xenobiotics converted to non toxins
Certain drugs pharmacologically inactive and converted to active
5. Site for drug metabolism

24. 4. Sulfate Conjugation
• Phenolic compound and steroid – sulfated by sulfotransferases (SULTs)
• E.g. Adrenal and sex steroids
5. Glycine conjugation
• Minor pathway of metabolism
• Drugs having carboxylic acid – conjugated with glycine
• E.g. Salicylate, nicotinic acid
25. • Important pathway for detoxifying chemically
reactive electrophilic compounds.
• Carried by glutathione S transferase (GSTs)
• It serves to inactivate highly reactive
quinone/epoxide intermediates formed during
metabolism of certain drugs. E.g. paracetamol.
6. Glutathione Conjugation Minor pathway
26. • In case of poisoning of drug cases - when excess reactive intermediate
metabolite formed – glutathione supply falls short- toxic adducts are formed
with tissue constitutes resulting in hepatic, renal and other tissue damage.
• E.g. drug: paracetamol

30.
31. Factors affecting drug metabolism
• Age
• Gender
• Race
• Nutrition level
• Hereditary or Genetic Factors
• Enzyme Induction
• Enzyme Inhibition
• Miscellaneous Factors Affecting Drug Metabolism
• Most drugs are metabolised by multiple pathway. Stereoisomers of a drug
may be metabolized differently and at different rate.
32. • Both enzymes are deficient in newborn (particularly premature) : take 3
months to reach adult level.
• Enzyme level controlled genetically and influenced by diet, environmental
factors: marked interspecies and interindividual differences –
interindividual variation.
33. First Pass (presystemic) Metabolism
• Metabolism of a drug during its passage from
the site of absorption into the systemic
circulation.
• Site: Liver (major site)
Gut wall
Gut lumen
Skin
Lung
• Bypasses oral route :changing modification of
dosage formulation sublingual , transdermal,
parenteral
34. • Extent of FPM varies from drug to drug – affect bioavailability
• Hepatic drug extraction: (ERliver) Fraction of the absorbed drug
prevented by the liver from reaching systemic circulation.
ER = ____CLliver______
Hepatic blood flow
So systemic bioavailability (F) : fractional absorption (I-ER)
35. Metabolism of drugs with high
hepatic extraction is dependent of
liver blood flow. E.g. propranolol
reduces rate of lignocaine
metabolism by decreasing hepatic
blood flow
36. Inhibition of drug metabolism
• One drug competitively inhibit microsomal enzyme CYP 450 and thereby
inhibit the metabolism of another drug/ endogenous substances (steroid/ bilirubin).
• Sometime drug may inhibit its own metabolism – “Autoinduction” when drug is
substrate to isoenzyme as well inhibit the same isoenzyme.
Clinically drug interaction is NOT much common because………..
• A drug may inhibit one CYP 450 but substrate to another CYP 450
• Different drugs are substrates to different CYP 450 and metabolized by non
saturation kinetics: enzyme is present excess
37.
38. Drug interaction is clinically obvious ONLY when……when both
drugs having
- Affinity for same isoenzyme
- Metabolized by saturation kinetic /
- Or kinetic change from first order to zero order kinetic over the therapeutic
range. (capacity limited metabolism)
- Narrow therapeutic index and chronically administration –long time
- E.g. Boosted anti HIV drug regimen.
• low dose of ritonavir - inhibit CYP3A4 – so lower dose of other anti hiv
drugs (atazanavir, lopinavir, saquinavir)
39. Examples of drugs that inhibit drug metabolizing enzyme:
• Allopurinol
• Omeprazole
• Ketoconazole
• Cimetidine
• Quinidine
• Cigarette smoking
40. • Certain drugs, insecticides and carcinogens - Interact
with DNA- Enhances gene transcription for microsomal
enzyme protein- increase mass of enzyme
• Site :liver and other organ
• Increases metabolism 2-4 folds
• Induction takes 4-14 days to reach its peak and is
maintained till the inducing agent is present and return of
activity after 2-3 wk of withdrawal of inducing agents.
Microsomal Enzyme Induction
41. • Different inducers are relatively selective for certain
cytochrome P-450 enzyme families e.g.
• Phenobarbitone , rifampin, glucocorticoids induce CYP3A4
isoenzymes
• Isoniazid and chronic alcohol consumption induce CYP2E1
• Polycyclic hydrocarbons in cigarette smoking , charcoal boiled meat,
industrial pollutants induces CYP1A
42. • Decreased intensity of action of drug: contraception failure with
rifampicin co administration.
• Increased Intensity of action of drug: that activated by metabolism
• Interfere with adjustment of dose of another drug: ocpills, antiepileptic drugs
• Tolerance-autoinduction : carbamazepine, rifampin- double dose after 2wk
• Faster metabolism of endogenous substances: steroid, bilirubin
• Interference with chronic toxicity testing in animal
• Therapeutic uses of enzyme induction
1. Congenital hemolytic jaundice: phenobarbitone: enhance bilirubin metabolsim
2. Cushing syndrome: phenytoin- enhance degradation of steroid.
3. Chronic poisoning
