Drug metabolizing organs
• Liver is the heart of metabolism
• Because of its relative richness of enzymes in large
amount.
• Schematic chart of metabolizing organ (decreasing

Why Biotransformation?
• Most drugs are excreted by the kidneys.
• For renal excretion drugs should:
– have small molecular mass
– be polar in nature
– not be fully ionised at body pH
• Most drugs are complex and do not have these
properties and thus have to be broken down to
simpler products.
• Drugs are lipophilic in nature.
03-12-2010
KLECOP, Nipani
11
• Strongly bound to plasma proteins.
• This property also stops them from getting
eliminated.
• They have to be converted to simpler
hydrophilic compounds so that they are eliminated
and their action is terminated.
When and How?
• Biotransformation occur between absorption
and elimination from kidneys.
• Drugs administered orally can biotransform in
the intestinal wall.

 Phase I:
 A polar functional group is either introduced
or unmasked if already present on the
otherwise lipid soluble Substrate,
E.g. –OH, -COOH, -NH2 and –SH.
 Thus, phase I reactions are called as
functionalization reactions.
Phase I reactions are Non-synthetic in nature.
The majority of Phase I metabolites are
generated by a common hydroxylating
enzyme
system
known
as
cytochrome
P450.

are hydroxylated to corresponding Carbinols.
 If the product is a primary carbinol, it is further
oxidized to aldehydes and then to carboxylic acids,

 Oxidation of Carbon-Heteroatom Systems:
 Biotransformation of C-N, C-0 and C-S system
proceed in one of the two way:
1. Hydroxylation of carbon atom attached to the
heteroatom and subsequent cleavage at carbonheteroatom bond.
E.g. N-, O- and S- dealkylation, oxidative
deamination and desulfuration.
2. Oxidation of the heteroatom itself.
 E.g. N- and S- oxidation.

 Oxidation of Carbon-Nitrogen System:
 N-Dealkylation:
 Mechanism of N-dealkylation involve oxidation of αcarbon to generate an intermediate carbinolamine
which rearranges by cleavage of C-N bond to yield
the N dealkylated product and the corresponding
carbonyl of the alkyl group.

(C=S).

reaction is commonly observed in thioamides such as
thiopental.

oxidized to sulfones several phenothiazines.
 E.g. Chlorpromazine undergo S-oxidation.

 Oxidation of Carbon-Oxygen Systems:
 O-Dealkylation:
 This reaction is also similar to N-Dealkylation and
proceeds by α-carbon hydroxylation to form an
unstable hemiacetal or hemiketal intermediate.
 Which spontaneously undergoes C-0 bond cleavage
to form alcohol and a carbonyl moiety.

• Phase II - combines functional group of compound
with endogenous substance

How We Get To Phase 2
• Most of the drugs do not become polar upon
phase 1 reactions.
• The Body is left with a plan to further
metabolize the Drugs
• Goal of Phase 2 : Make substances more
soluble that couldn’t be done in the Phase 1
reactions.

KLECOP, Nipani
55
Synthetic Reactions / Phase II
• These reactions usually involves covalent attachments
of small polar endogenous molecules such as
Glucoronic acid, Sulfate, Glycine to either unchanged
drugs or Phase I product having suitable functional
groups as COOH,-OH,-NH2,- SH.
• Thus is called as Conjugation reactions.
• Since the product formed is having high molecular
weight so called as synthetic reactions.
• The product formed is hydrophilic in nature with total
loss of pharmacologic activity so called as a true
detoxification reaction

• Sulfotransferases are widely-distributed enzymes
• Cofactor is 3’-phosphoadenosine-5’-phosphosulfate
(PAPS)
• Produce highly water-soluble sulfate esters,
eliminated in urine, bile

1. Synthesis of an activated coenzyme 3’-phosphoadenosine-5’phosphosulfate (PAPS) which acts as a donor of sulfate to the
substrate.
 This also occurs in two steps- an initial interaction between
the sulfate and the adenosine triphosphate (ATP) to yield
adenosine-5’-phosphosulfate (APS) followed by activation of
latter to PAPS.

presence of enzyme Sulfotransferase and subsequent liberation
of 3’- phosphoadenosine-5’-phosphate(PAP).

• Alternative to glucuronidation
• Two principle pathways
– -COOH group of substrate conjugated with -NH2
of Glycine, Serine, Glutamine, requiring CoA
activation
• E.g. conjugation of benzoic acid with Glycine
to form Hippuric acid
– Aromatic -NH2 or NHOH conjugated with -COOH
of Serine, Proline, requiring ATP activation

1. Activation of carboxylic acid drug substrate with ATP and
coenzyme A (CoA) to form an acyl CoA intermediate. Thus, the
reaction is a contrast of glucuronidation and sulfation where the
donor coenzyme is activated and not the substrate.

Glycine Conjugation
 Salicylates and other drugs having carboxylic acid group
are conjugated with Glycine.
 Not a major pathway of metabolism
Cyanide Conjugation
 Conjugation of cyanide ion involves transfer of sulfur
atom from thiosulfate to the cyanide ion in presence of
enzyme rhodanese to form inactive thiocyanate.

Biotransformation-Conclusion
• Change the Xenobiotics to a form that can be
eliminated from the body
• Change the Xenobiotics to a less biologically active
form
• Bioactivation to more toxic forms can also occur
• Synthetic Phase II reactions are carried out by other
enzymes.

 Factor affection of
Biotransformation of drug:
The Therapeutic efficacy, Toxicity and Biological half life of drug
depends on metabolic rate and the factor that influence metabolic rate
are:
1) Physicochemical property of drug.
2) chemical factors:
 a. Induction of drug metabolizing enzyme.
 b. Inhibition of drug metabolizing enzyme
 c. Environmental chemicals.
3) Biological factors.
 A. Species differences.
 B. Strain differences.
 C. Sex differences.
