12. How does clearance interact with plasma protein binding to influence the
concentration of a drug in the plasma?
13. List 5 main anatomical sites where metabolism of drugs can can occur.
14. Define Phase I and Phase II metabolism. How are they different?
15. List the main metabolizing enzymes associated with Phase I metabolism.
Where are they located? What does each do?
16. CYP450 induction or inhibition by one drug can greatly influence the
actions of another drug. Describe what happens to the second drug when the
first induces CYPs, and when the first inhibits them. What is the biggest
cause of inhibition?
17. What are oxygenases, and what does each class listed in the lecture
slides do? Where is each type found, both cellularly and anatomically (i.e.
organs)?
18. What do Phase II metabolism enzymes do (in general)? What changes do
they cause drugs and/or drug metabolites in order to increase their
excretion?
19. Define the following enzymes, and what each adds to their drug targets?
- SULTs
- UGTs
- GSTs
- NATs
- MTs
- Alcohol dehydrogenases, aldehyde dehydrogenases, NQOs
22. What are the two main superfamilies of transporters discussed in class?
How (in general) does each work?
23. ~ slide 46 shows various types of transporters. Know each type, and
which direction(s) they transport drugs, metabolites, or ions!
