CYP1A
• Metabolize polycyclic hydrocarbons • Are induced by polycyclic hydrocarbons
– Found in cigarette smoke– Associated with cancer
• CYP1A1 – is inducible– extrahepatic
• CYP1A2 – is constitutively expressed only in liver– Is inducible
CYP1A
• Polymorphisms (primarily CYP1A1)– Expression polymorphism– Structural gene polymorphism
• In vivo assay (CYP1A2)– Caffeine metabolism
CYP 2A
• CYP2A6 and CYP2A13– CYP2A6 is polymorphic– Responsible for nicotine metabolism
CYP 2B•CYP2B6
– CYP2B1 and CYP2B2 are major forms in rats–was originally thought to be a minor form in humans
CYP2C
• CYP2C8, CYP2C9, CYP2C18, and CYP2C19 are major forms in humans
• Hormonally regulated in rodents (growth hormone)
• Metabolize about 30% of commonly used drugs– Omeprazole– Diazepam
• In vivo substrates– S-mephenytoin (CYP2C19)– Flurbiprofen (CYP2C9)
CYP2D6
• Metabolize many important drugs– Codeine– Dextromethorphan
• Polymorphisms– Mutation in the structural gene– Related to increased cancer risk (rapid metabolizers)
• In vivo substrate– Debrisoquine– Dextromethorphan
CYP2E1
• Is uncoupled– Produces superoxide and hydrogen peroxide
• Forms reactive intermediates– Nitrosamine carcinogens– acetaminophen
CYP2E1
• Is uncoupled • Forms reactive intermediates
– Associated with acetaminophen toxicity
• Ethanol inducible• Polymorphisms
– Linked to cancer – Role in alcohol-related liver dysfunction
• In vivo substrate– chlorzoxazone
CYP3A4/5
• Major P450 in humans - metabolizes over 50% of commonly used drugs
• Is inducible by numerous drugs
• CYP3A4 not polymorphic – but wide variation in activity (due to CYP3A5)
• In vivo substrates (hepatic and intestinal)– Erythromycin– Alfentanil
Hydrolysis reactions
• Plasma, liver, kidney, and all tissues• Esterase
– Succinylcholine apnea
• Amidase• Epoxide hydrolase
– Found in liver and all tissues– Both microsomal and soluble forms– Inducible by phenobarbital and 3-
methylcholanthrene

Conjugations reactions(phase 2)
• Glucuronidation
