Altered Drug Metabolism and Transport in Pathophysiological Conditions
Drug metabolism can either lead to detoxification, bio-inactivation and/or elimination of the drug from the body. Metabolism can be broadly categorized into phases I and II. Phase I drug metabolizing enzymes (DMEs) primarily comprise of the Cytochrome (CYP) 450 family of enzymes. CYP3A4 is the most common isoform expressed in human liver and intestine accounting for ~30-60% of CYPs (Nebert & Ru...
متن کاملPathophysiological changes that affect drug disposition in protein-energy malnourished children
Protein-energy malnutrition (PEM) is a major public health problem affecting a high proportion of infants and older children world-wide and accounts for a high childhood morbidity and mortality in the developing countries. The epidemiology of PEM has been extensively studied globally and management guidelines formulated by the World Health Organization (WHO). A wide spectrum of infections such ...
متن کاملDrug Disposition in Pediatric Patients
The clinical responses to drug administration can be greatly influenced both by the chronological age of the patient and by the relative maturity of the particular organ system that is being targeted. Human development follows a continuum of time-related events. There are unique therapeutic differences and concerns associated with the treatment of the very young and the elderly patient. Age-dep...
متن کاملSex Differences in Drug Disposition
Physiological, hormonal, and genetic differences between males and females affect the prevalence, incidence, and severity of diseases and responses to therapy. Understanding these differences is important for designing safe and effective treatments. This paper summarizes sex differences that impact drug disposition and includes a general comparison of clinical pharmacology as it applies to men ...
متن کاملGenetic differences in drug disposition.
Genetic polymorphisms of drug metabolizing enzymes are well recognized. This review presents molecular mechanisms, ontogeny and clinical implications of genetically determined intersubject variation in some of these enzymes. Included are the polymorphic enzymes N-acetyl transferase, cytochromes P4502D6 and 2C, which have been well described in humans. Information regarding other Phase I and Pha...
