oxidation
reduction
hydrolysis
covalent conjugation
What happens to a drug after a Phase I reaction
involves changes in functional groups
increases polarity
modification phase
drugs not necessarily inactivated (prodrugs activated)
pharmacological activity is almost always lost
What happens after a drug goes through a Phase II reaction
covalent conjugation of drugs with large polar groups
significant increase in polarity
pharmacological activity is almost always lost
drug not necessarily inactivated

Phase 2
Phase 1
Why is Phase I often referred to as a functionalization phase?
it does small modifications
it does large modifications

What is a reduction rxn
opposite of oxidation
addition of e-
not as common
carried out by P450 & other enzymes
What do CYP enzymes contain in the center
heme group
O2 group
CC double bond
What does the heme group in the center of a CYP enzyme do
help coordinate O2
help coordinate substrates
thru reductive steps, substrate gets oxidized
