  1. ADME METABOLISM

  2. ADME METABOLISM • Strictly – the biological breakdown (catabolism) or synthesis (anabolism) of compounds.

  3. ADME METABOLISM • Strictly – the biological breakdown (catabolism) or synthesis (anabolism) of compounds. • More generally - the biological modification of compounds.

  4. Why are drugs / xenobiotics metabolised?

  5. Why are drugs / xenobiotics metabolised? • A huge variety of chemical compounds can be metabolised by the body;

  6. Why are drugs / xenobiotics metabolised? • A huge variety of chemical compounds can be metabolised by the body; • a capability bestowed on us by natural selection for eliminating biologically active endogenous and exogenous compounds.

  7. Metabolism of drugs is likely to result in at least one of the following:

  8. Metabolism of drugs is likely to result in at least one of the following: • Increased water solubility

  9. Metabolism of drugs is likely to result in at least one of the following: • Increased water solubility • Decreased toxicity

  10. Lipophilic compoundsare likely to be retained in the tissues, or if they get to the kidney tubules, reabsorbed.

  11. Lipophilic compoundsare likely to be retained in the tissues, or if they get to the kidney tubules, reabsorbed. • Water soluble or ioniseddrugs will be readily excreted – no modification necessary.

  12. Lipophilic compoundsare likely to be retained in the tissues, or if they get to the kidney tubules, reabsorbed. • Water soluble or ioniseddrugs will be readily excreted – no modification necessary. • more usually drugs will have to be metabolised in order to increase their water solubility.

  13. First pass effect ( = pre-systemic ciculation): • blood from mesenteric / splanchnic vasculature is directed straight to liver via hepatic portal vein.

  14. First pass effect ( = pre-systemic ciculation): • blood from mesenteric / splanchnic vasculature is directed straight to liver via hepatic portal vein. • Systemic circulation never “sees” much of absorbed drug.

  15. First pass effect ( = pre-systemic ciculation): • blood from mesenteric / splanchnic vasculature is directed straight to liver via hepatic portal vein. • Systemic circulation never “sees” much of absorbed drug. • ..a consequence of oral dosing.

  16. Enzymes – responsible for many metabolic processes

  17. Enzymes – responsible for many metabolic processes Enzymes are: • Proteins • Catalysts: they speed biochemical reactions up, without being affected themselves

  18. Enzymes – responsible for many metabolic processes Enzymes are: • Proteins • Catalysts: they speed biochemical reactions up, without being affected themselves • Enzymes involved in metabolism usually have broad specificity

  19. Often there are several isoforms of each enzyme

  20. Often there are several isoforms of each enzyme • Enzymes may be constitutive, or induced

  21. Enzymes can be induced by the compound itself • (eg barbiturates, rifampin, omeprazole)

  22. Enzymes can be induced by the compound itself • (eg barbiturates, rifampin, omeprazole) • or by ethanol, smoking, diet (barbecued foods containing polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, flavanoid-containing vegetables eg cabbage).

  23. Enzyme induction will decrease the effectiveness of a number of drugs.

  24. Enzyme induction will decrease the effectiveness of a number of drugs. • Some compounds or dietary factors can increase the effectiveness of other drugs (quinidine, erythromycin, cimetidine, ketoconazole, grapefruit!) by enzyme inhibition.

  25. Two main processes: • Phase I metabolism • Phase II metabolism

  26. Two main processes: • Phase I metabolism • “functionalisation”. usually oxidation, reduction or hydrolysis. • Phase II metabolism

  27. Two main processes: • Phase I metabolism • “functionalisation”. usually oxidation, reduction or hydrolysis. • Phase II metabolism • conjugation (or synthesis) reactions

  28. “Purposes” of these processes:

  29. “Purposes” of these processes: • Phase I: • to detoxify / render the compound biologically inactive;

  30. “Purposes” of these processes: • Phase I: • to detoxify / render the compound biologically inactive; • to make compound suitable for Phase II

  31. “Purposes” of these processes: • Phase I: • to detoxify / render the compound biologically inactive; • to make compound suitable for Phase II • to a lesser extent, make the compound more water soluble

  32. Phase II: • to make compounds more soluble (ionised; hydrophilic) so that they can be excreted;

  33. Phase II: • to make compounds more soluble (ionised; hydrophilic) so that they can be excreted; • to reduce the half-life of the active drug

  34. Over all: • metabolism is likely to reduce the exposure time of the body to the administered compound.

  35. Over all: • metabolism is likely to reduce the exposure time of the body to the administered compound •  half-life of compound.

  36. Phase I: Reactions where one or more functional groups are modified.

  37. Phase I: Reactions where one or more functional groups are modified. Oxidation– many different types:

  38. Phase I: Reactions where one or more functional groups are modified. Oxidation– many different types: e.g. O addition (eg chlorpromazine) de-amination (eg amphetamine)

  39. Example: Ethanol: Ethanol acetaldehyde acetic acid

  40. Example: Ethanol: Alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH) Ethanol acetaldehyde acetic acid

  41. Example: Ethanol: Alcohol dehydrogenase Aldehyde dehydrogenase (ADH)(ALDH) Ethanol acetaldehyde acetic acid

  42. Alcohol dehydrogenase is primarily located in the liver

  43. Alcohol dehydrogenase is primarily located in the liver but also occurs in the kidney lung gastric mucosa

  44. Disulfiram is administered to alcoholics:

  45. Disulfiram is administered to alcoholics: …it inhibits ALDH so induces nausea due to  acetaldehyde. Alcohol dehydrogenase Aldehyde dehydrogenase (ADH)(ALDH) Ethanol acetaldehyde acetic acid

  46. Ethanol in fact has 3 main routes of metabolism: ethanol  acetaldehyde • In cytosol (ADH) • In microsomes (CYP2E1) • In peroxisomes (catalase)

  47. ..then acetic acid (by ALDH in mitochondria)

  48. ..then acetic acid (by ALDH in mitochondria) …then acetic acid carbon dioxide + H2O

  49. Metabolism of other alcohols: ADH / ALDH Methanol formic acid
