substances that are foreign to the body, usually synthetic chemical compounds; medications

are a common example

→ Xenobiotics


xenobiotic-metabolizing enzymes necessary for the production of cholesterol and steroids and

the detoxification of chemicals and drug metabolism.


→ Cytochrome P450 (CYP450)


responsible for phase 1 metabolism in which drugs are oxidized, reduced, or hydrolyzed

→ Function of Cytochrome P450 (CYP450)


Oxidation; Reduction; Hydrolysis

→ Phase 1 Metabolism of Drugs via P450


-Drug becomes completely inactive




-Drug becomes partially inactive but one or more metabolites remain active




-Original drug is not pharmacologically active but one metabolite remains active

→ Three possible outcomes of phase 1 drug metabolism.


Medications that can increase the rate of another drug's metabolism by elevating CYP450

enzyme activity via increasing enzyme synthesis. decreasing the concentration of the "parent

drug"

Rifampin

Alcohol

Phenytoin

Griseofulvin

Phenobarbital

Sulfonylureas


→ CYP450 Inducer Medications


Medications that inhibit the metabolic activity of one or more of the CYP450 enzymes. Higher

risk for toxicity; prolongs the pharmacological effect of the "parent drug".

→ CYP450 Inhibitors

→ CYP450 Inhibitor Medications


-potentially Inappropriate Medication (PIM) use in older adults

-potentially Inappropriate Medication (PIM) use in older adults due to medication-disease or

medication-syndrome interactions that may exacerbate the disease or syndrome

-medications to be used cautiously in older adults

-clinically significant drug interactions that should be avoided in older adults

-medications to be avoided or dosage decreased in the presence of impaired kidney function

in older adults

→ Beers Criteria


when one medication systemically alters the potency of another medication.

→ Pharmacokinetic Interactions


result of a change due to one medication's effect on another medication's route of entry into

the body.

→ Absorption Interaction


caused by the amount of unbound/free medications available at the various target sites.

→ Distribution Interaction
