Metabolism phase I reactions

Phase I metabolism Phase I reactions (mainly oxidation, reduction, and hydrolysis) act as a preparation of the drug for the phase II reactions, i.e., a chemically reactive group is produced or uncovered on which the phase II reactions can occur, e.g., -OH, -NH2, -SH, -COOH. Most toxic metabolites are produced by phase I reactions. The P-450 isoenzymes (CYP enzymes), known collectively as the mixed function oxidase system, are found in the endoplasmic reticulum of many cells (notably those of liver, kidney, lung, and intestine) and perform many of these different functionalization reactions. The system requires the presence of molecular oxygen and co-factor nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADPH) as well as cytochrome P450, NADPH-cytochrome P450 reductase, and lipid. [Pg.876]
