FATE OF XENOBIOTICS
inactivation
water solubility
excretion from the body
Phase I- biotransformation
localization
the liver - membranes of ER, cytoplasm
other tissues - lungs, intestine, skin, kidneys
enzymes
hydrolases (esterases, peptidases, ...)
monooxygenases (= hydroxylases, cytochrome P450
= Mixed Function Oxidases = MFO)
Cytochrome P450
Phase II - conjugation
localization
liver (intestine mucosa, skin): ER, cytoplasm
properties
need of an endogenous substance
synthetic reactions
energy consumption
results
highly polar conjugates ( water solubility)
decreased toxicity
Enzymes: transferases
Examples
of conjugation
of endogenous
molecules
