  2. First pass effect - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/First_pass_effect

    The four primary systems that affect the first pass effect of a drug are the enzymes of the gastrointestinal lumen, gut wall enzymes, bacterial enzymes, and hepatic enzymes. In drug design, drug candidates may have good druglikeness but fail on first-pass metabolism because it is biochemically selective. [ambiguous]

  3. Hepatotoxicity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hepatotoxicity

    Drug-induced liver injury (DILI) is a cause of acute and chronic liver disease caused specifically by medications and the most common reason for a drug to be withdrawn from the market after approval. The liver plays a central role in transforming and clearing chemicals and is susceptible to the toxicity from these agents.

  4. Enterohepatic circulation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Enterohepatic_circulation

    Enterohepatic circulation of drugs. Enterohepatic circulation is the circulation of biliary acids, bilirubin, drugs or other substances from the liver to the bile, followed by entry into the small intestine, absorption by the enterocyte and transport back to the liver.

  6. Drug metabolism - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drug_metabolism

    Drug metabolism is the metabolic breakdown of drugs by living organisms, usually through specialized enzymatic systems. More generally, xenobiotic metabolism (from the Greek xenos "stranger" and biotic "related to living beings") is the set of metabolic pathways that modify the chemical structure of xenobiotics, which are compounds foreign to an organism's normal biochemistry, such as any drug ...

  7. CYP2D6 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CYP2D6

    The reduction of the liver cytochrome CYP2D6 enzyme occurs approximately in 7–10% in white populations, and is lower in most other ethnic groups such as Asians and African-Americans at 2% each. A complete lack of CYP2D6 enzyme activity, wherein the individual has two copies of the polymorphisms that result in no CYP2D6 activity at all, is ...

  8. Glucuronidation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glucuronidation

    Glucuronidation occurs mainly in the liver, although the enzyme responsible for its catalysis, UDP-glucuronyltransferase, has been found in all major body organs (e.g., intestine, kidneys, brain, adrenal gland, spleen, and thymus).

  9. Grapefruit–drug interactions - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grapefruit–drug_interactions

    The location of the inhibition occurs in the lining of the intestines, not within the liver. [30] The effects last because grapefruit-mediated inhibition of drug metabolizing enzymes, like CYP3A4, is irreversible; [30] that is, once the grapefruit has "broken" the enzyme, the intestinal cells must produce more of the enzyme to restore their ...
