Inhibition metabolism

Since they inhibit metabolism, they are likely to be toxic to cells. It is, therefore, usual to add these compounds after the culture has grown and to subsequently add the sterol to be metabolised.

When the temperature of the solution is increased, then the current as well as the sodium transport rate increase far more than would correspond to simple diffusion or migration. When substances inhibiting metabolic processes are added to the solution, e.g. cyanide or the glycoside, ouabain,... 

Metabolism - In vitro studies in human liver microsomes indicate that ertapenem does not inhibit metabolism mediated by any of the following cytochrome P450 (CYP) isoforms 1A2, 2C9, 2C19, 2D6, 2E1, and 3A4. 

Ricerca offers in vivo and in vitro ADMET services. Specifically, it provides in vitro assays for CYP inhibition, metabolism, ADME, pharmacokinetic, and metabolism profiling (330).

Answer The half-life of amiodarone is 35 days. Approximately five half-Uves are required for functionally complete drug elimination. Thus, it will take approximately 6 months (5 half-lives) before the amiodarone is eliminated from the body. Since amiodarone strongly inhibits metabolism of S-warfarin (active enantiomer), it will continue to affect warfarin metabolism for 6 months following discontinuation of amiodarone. Thus, the dose of warfarin will have to be monitored approximately every month and adjusted if necessary. This monthly monitoring should be continued for at least 6 months, until the metabolism of warfarin stabilizes and a constant dose of warfarin can again be maintained. 

Cimetidine, propoxyphene, and isoniazid also have been reported to inhibit metabolism of carbamazepine. It is essential to monitor blood levels and adjust the dose if necessary whenever additional drugs are given to patients taking carbamazepine. 

Many substrates, by virtue of their relatively high lipophilicity, are not only retained at the active site of the enzyme but remain nonspecifically bound to the lipid endoplasmic reticulum membrane. In this state, they may induce microsomal enzymes, particularly after repeated use. Acutely, depending on the residual drug levels at the active site, they also may competitively inhibit metabolism of a simultaneously administered drug.

In contrast, acute alcohol use can inhibit metabolism of other drugs because of decreased enzyme activity or decreased liver blood flow. Phenothiazines, tricyclic antidepressants, and sedative-hypnotic drugs are the most important drugs that interact with alcohol by this pharmacokinetic mechanism. 

Cimetidine inhibits binding of dihydrotestosterone to androgen receptors, inhibits metabolism of estradiol, and increases serum prolactin levels. When used long-term or in high doses, it may cause gynecomastia or impotence in men and galactorrhea in women. These effects are specific to cimetidine and do not occur with the other H2 antagonists.

Hepatic metabolism is a variable factor, and other drugs that induce or inhibit metabolism will alter the drug level in the body. As it has a low therapeutic index, this can have significant effects.

Problems of combining cimetidine with hypertension drugs were soon apparent. In 1981, ranitidine (Zantac, 8.91), another H2-receptor antagonist, reached the market. Ranitidine also inhibits metabolism, but only CYP2D6. Isoform 2D6 is less crucial in the metabolism of common drugs. Ranitidine took much market share from cimetidine because of cimetidine s relatively large number of drug interactions. 

Drugs are mostly metabolized by liver enzymes, especially the cytochrome P-450 enzyme family. The ability for cytochrome P-450 enzymes to metabolize a hit is tested with liver microsomes. Liver microsomes consist primarily of endoplasmic reticulum that contains metabolic enzymes. Hits are individually incubated in the presence of the liver microsomes. Monitoring changes in concentrations provides a sense of the rate of metabolism of each hit. Liver microsomes are also used to determine whether the hit inhibits metabolic processes. Hits that inhibit liver metabolism are shunned.17...

Glucuronidation is normally a primary detoxification pathway. In cases where glucuronidation becomes saturated or inhibited, metabolic switching to form reactive metabolites (typically catalyzed by cytochrome P450 enzymes) can occur.
