pharmacokinetics- action of body on the drug. includes absorption, dissolution, metabolism and excretion of drug. In this presentation metabolism and excretion of the drug are covered . Includes conversion of lipophilic / non-water soluble compounds into easily removable compounds by the action of hepatic enzymes which can be microsomal or non-microsomal . Excretion is further removal or elimination of compounds or agents from the body. Drug elimination is the sum of the processes of removing an administered drug from the body. In the pharmacokinetic ADME scheme (absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion), it is frequently considered to encompass both metabolism and excretion. Hydrophobic drugs, to be excreted, must undergo metabolic modification making them more polar. Hydrophilic drugs, on the other hand, can undergo excretion directly, without the need for metabolic changes to their molecular structures. Introduction
Most drugs are xenobiotics, ie, chemical substances not naturally produced by the body. Xenobiotics undergo various body processes for detoxification, thus reducing their toxicity and allowing them to be readily available for excretion. These processes allow for the chemical modification of drugs into their metabolites and are known as drug metabolism or metabolic biotransformation.
These metabolites are the byproducts of drug metabolism and can be characterized by active, inactive, and toxic metabolites. Active metabolites are biochemically active compounds with therapeutic effects, whereas inactive metabolites are biochemically inactive compounds with neither a therapeutic nor toxic effect. Toxic metabolites are biochemically active compounds similar to active metabolites but have various harmful effects.
Drug metabolism occurs at a specific location in the body, resulting in a low concentration of active metabolites in the systemic circulation. This phenomenon is called first-pass metabolism because it limits drug bioavailability. First-pass metabolism primarily occurs in the liver; however, metabolizing enzymes can be found throughout the body.
Understanding these alterations in chemical activity is crucial in utilizing the optimal pharmacological intervention for any patient. This is a topic of interest to any provider who routinely treats patients with medications. The metabolism of pharmaceutical drugs is an important aspect of pharmacology and medicine. For example, the rate of metabolism determines the duration and intensity of a drug's pharmacologic action. Drug metabolism also affects multidrug resistance in infectious diseases and in chemotherapy for cancer, and the actions of some drugs as substrates or inhibitors of enzymes involved in xenobiotic metabolism are a common reason for hazardous drug interactions. These pathways are also important in environmental science, with the xenobiotic metabolism of microorganisms determining whether a pollutant will be broken down or not is covered.pharmacokinetic
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.

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!
2. Introduction
• Xenos = stranger = foreign to life
• Xenobiotics = Foreign chemicals
• E.g. drugs, food additives, pollutants, chemical
carcinogens, insecticides
• Most of these undergo metabolism in human body
• Basic to a rational understanding of:
̴ Pharmacology and therapeutics
̴ Pharmacy
̴ Toxicology
̴ Management of cancer
̴ Drug addiction
• All these areas involve administration of, or
exposure to, xenobiotics
3. Xenobiotic Metabolism

• Purpose:
– Converts lipophilic to hydrophilic compounds
– Facilitates excretion
Hydrophobic xenobiotics can persist in adipose
tissue

in Phase 1
4. First Pass Effect:
• Biotransformation by liver or gut enzymes
before compound reaches systemic circulation
• Results in lower systemic bioavailability of
parent compound

antihypertensive drug) and sparteine (an antiarrhythmic and
oxytocic drug)
Certain polymorphisms of CYP2D6 cause poor metabolism of
these and a variety of other drugs so that they can
accumulate in the body, resulting in untoward consequences.
• CYP2A6: Metabolism of nicotine to conitine
Three alleles: A wild type and two null or inactive alleles
