Function?
Definition
7
Steroid hormone synthesis
Term
CYP2E1 Action
Name of system
Location

Definition
Oxidizes Ethanol to acetaldehyde
Microsomal Ethanol Oxidizing System
ER
NADPH
Term
Mono-Oxygenase
Definition
Hydroxylation of drug using NADPH and Oxygen
Term
Main drug metabolism organ
Definition
Liver
Term
Aflatoxin
Location (2)
Definition
CYP2A1 metabolizes it to compound producing liver cancer
Wet grain and peanuts
Term
Vinyl Chloride
Effect of product
Definition
CYP2E1 Oxidizes Vinyl Chloride to an epoxide
DNA damage
Term
Benzypyrene
Effect of product
Location (2)
Definition
Metabolized by Cytp450's into an epoxide.
Reacts with guanines, disrupts GC base pairs and leads to cancer
Cigarette Smoke and Charcoal-Broiled meats
Term
Risk of lung cancer from smoking
Definition
Increases with inducing CYP2A6
Term
Ethanol
Definition
Induces CYP2E1
Term
Alcoholic CYP2E1 problems
Result
Definition
Increased ability to metabolize certain drugs due to chronic increased levels of CYP2E1
Need higher dose of drug
Term
Alcoholic CYP2E1 and Drug Simultaneous
Result
Definition
Competition occurs for the enzyme
Drug will be more effective at lower dose.
Term
CYP3A4 Specificity
Result
Definition
Very broad
Easy for two drugs to compete
Term
CYP3A4 inhibition (2)
Result
Definition
Grapefruit juice
CYP3A4 inhibited by many drugs
Taking a drug that is an inhibitor with one that is metabolized by CYP3A4 can be very severe.
Term
St. John's Wort
Result (3)
Definition
Induces CYP3A and CYP1A2
Accelerated metabolism of 1. theophylline for asthma
2. Warfarin for blodo clotting
3. oral contraceptives
Term
Multi-Drug Transporter
Result of long term activation
Definition
Removes drugs from cells by active transport and is induced with CYP3A4
Acquired resistance to certain drugs
Term
Theophylline
Result? (2)
Definition
CYP3A4 metabolizes this
Blood levels down
Decreased efficacy
Term
Warfarin
Result? (3)
Definition
CYP3A4 metabolizes this
Increased or decreased when administered
Increased metabolism due to CYP3A4 induction
Decreased metabolism due to CYP1A2 inhibition
Term
Oral Contraceptives
Result? (2)
Definition
CYP3A4 metabolizes this
Reduce blood levels decreased
Efficacy decreased
Term
CYP2D6
Special Feature
Deficiency
Special Title
Definition
Converts codeine to morphine
Is NOT inducible
7% of Whites and Blacks are missing this and can't get codeine to work
Metabolize 25% of drugs currently marketed
Term
Caffeine
Deficiency
Definition
CYP1A2 Metabolizes Caffeine
Neonates lack this
Term
Warfarin
Problem with one
Definition
CYP2C9, CYP3A4, CYP1A2 metabolize this
Deficiency in CYP2C9 results in someone being unable to coagulate on very small warfarin doses
Term
VKORC1
Definition
Used in determining a person's sensitivity to Warfarin's action
Term
# of polymorphic CYP's
Result
Definition
20 CYP genes
40% of CYP action by polymorphic enzymes
Term
4 Phenotypes of CYP2D6
Definition
Poor metabolizers
Intermediate metabolizer
Extensive (normal) metabolizer
Ultra-rapid metabolizer
Term
Poor Metabolizer Patient
Definition
Normal dosage of a drug results in elevated drug levels and severe side effects
Term
Ultra-Rapid Metabolzier
Definition
Requires higher than normal drug levels for therapeutic effect
Term
AmpliChip
Definition
Analyzes DNA for isoforms of CYP2D6 and CYP2C19
Term
AmpliChip Steps
Definition
1. PCR amplification
2. Fragmentation through RE's
3. DNA hybridization
4. Staining on microarray chip
5. Scan results
Term
CYP2E1 Painkiller function
Definition
Metabolizes Tylenol to a toxic product
Term
Phase II Reactions (5)
Definition
1. Glucuronidation
2. Sulfation
3. Glycine Conjugation
4. Glutamine Conjugation
5. Mercapturic acid formation
Term
Glururonidation
Definition
Oxidized Drug is reacted with UDP Glururonic Acid
Produces Drug-Glucuronic Acid conjugate
Term
Sulfation
Definition
Oxidized drug + PAPS yields Drug-Sulfate Ester
Term
Glycine Conjugation
Definition
Carboxylated drug + Glycine yields Drug-Glycine conjugate
Term
Glutamine Conjugation
Definition
Carboxylated drug + Glutamine yields Drug-Mercaptic Acid
Term
Mercaptic Acid Formation
Definition
Drug-X Plus Glutahione-SH yields Drug-Mercaptic Acid conjugate
Term

Definition
Excreted as Glycine Conjugates
Term

Definition
Excreted after glucuronidation
Sulfation
Term
Acetaminophen Metabolism with Alcohol (4)
Definition
