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 ...
MOPPP use is infrequent when compared to other amphetamines or stimulants used recreationally, such as meth, cocaine, or speed.It first arose as a designer drug in Germany in the late 1990s and early 2000s, [1] [2] [3] along with a number of other derivatives but never gained the international popularity [4] [5] that other drugs in its family of pyrrolidinophenone derivatives had (such as α ...
para-Methoxyfentanyl or p-methoxyfentanyl or 4-methoxyfentanyl is a potent short-acting synthetic opioid analgesic drug. It is an analog of fentanyl , with similar effects but slightly lower potency.
Mequinol is a common active ingredient in topical drugs used for skin depigmentation. As a topical drug mequinol is often mixed with tretinoin, a topical retinoid. A common formulation for this drug is an ethanolic solution of 2% mequinol and 0.01% tretinoin by mass. [1] Dermatologists commonly prescribe the drug to treat liver spots.
First-pass metabolism may occur in the liver (for propranolol, lidocaine, clomethiazole, and nitroglycerin) or in the gut (for benzylpenicillin and insulin). [4] The four primary systems that affect the first pass effect of a drug are the enzymes of the gastrointestinal lumen, [5] gastrointestinal wall enzymes, [6] [7] [8] bacterial enzymes [5] and hepatic enzymes.
Sometimes drugs are formulated in an inactive form that is designed to break down inside the body to form the active drug. These are called prodrugs.The reasons for this type of formulation may be because the drug is more stable during manufacture and storage as the prodrug form, or because the prodrug is better absorbed by the body or has superior pharmacokinetics (e.g., lisdexamphetamine).
4'-Methyl-α-pyrrolidinopropiophenone (4-MePPP, MPPP or MαPPP) is a stimulant drug and substituted cathinone.It is structurally very similar to α-PPP, with only one added methyl group in the para position on the phenyl ring. 4-MePPP was sold in Germany as a designer drug in the late 1990s and early 2000s, [2] [3] [4] along with a number of other pyrrolidinophenone derivatives.
Methoxyphenol or hydroxyanisole may refer to: 2-Methoxyphenol (guaiacol, o -methoxyphenol, methylcatechol, 2-hydroxyanisole) 3-Methoxyphenol ( m -methoxyphenol, m -guaiacol, resorcinol monomethyl ether, 3-hydroxyanisole, m -hydroxyanisole)
