Phase II drug metabolizing enzymes.
BACKGROUND Phase II biotransformation reactions (also 'conjugation reactions') generally serve as a detoxifying step in drug metabolism. Phase II drug metabolising enzymes are mainly transferases. This review covers the major phase II enzymes: UDP-glucuronosyltransferases, sulfotransferases, N-acetyltransferases, glutathione S-transferases and methyltransferases (mainly thiopurine S-methyl tran...
متن کاملHeterologous expression of human drug-metabolizing enzymes.
This article is a report on a symposium held at the March 1997 meeting of the American Society for Pharmacology and Experimental Therapeutics in San Diego. Current developments in the heterologous expression of cytochrome P450, NADPH-cytochrome P450 reductase, glutathione transferase, and UDP-glucuronosyltransferase enzymes are described. Systems include bacteria, insect cells, and transient an...
متن کامل[Involvement of microRNA in the induction of drug-metabolizing enzymes].
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small noncoding RNAs of about 20 nucleotides in length and participate in the post-transcriptional regulation of gene expression. Accumulating evidence indicates that miRNA binds to 3'-UTR of its target mRNAs and thereby destabilizes the transcripts or suppresses the translation. It is expected that miRNAs could have diverse functions and therefore play a role in the gene...
متن کاملPharmacogenetics, drug-metabolizing enzymes, and clinical practice.
The application of pharmacogenetics holds great promise for individualized therapy. However, it has little clinical reality at present, despite many claims. The main problem is that the evidence base supporting genetic testing before therapy is weak. The pharmacology of the drugs subject to inherited variability in metabolism is often complex. Few have simple or single pathways of elimination. ...
متن کاملSex differences in the expression of hepatic drug metabolizing enzymes.
Sex differences in pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics characterize many drugs and contribute to individual differences in drug efficacy and toxicity. Sex-based differences in drug metabolism are the primary cause of sex-dependent pharmacokinetics and reflect underlying sex differences in the expression of hepatic enzymes active in the metabolism of drugs, steroids, fatty acids and environmen...
