Metabolism and Toxicology
Lecture 1: Introduction (van der Graaf)

Metabolism: chemical transformation that compounds undergo in the body  body do compound.

Toxicology: adverse effects of chemicals on organisms  compound to body.

Paracetamol is a very lipophilic compound. It is a save painkiller but deadly with a high dose (ong. 10
times the maximum daily dose = 30 gram)

Absorption and elimination
- Lipophilic compounds  pass membranes and be absorbed.
- Ionized compounds  do not pass membranes easy anymore.
- Water-soluble compounds  difficult to absorb but are easily excreted.
- Fat-soluble compounds  absorbed easy but can keep circulating in the body for a long
time.

Lipophilic compounds can bind to proteins, to get soluble  protein too big to pass filter  slows
clearance.
- Albumin: plasma protein, not filtered in glomerulus.

Compounds need to be hydrophilic/water-soluble to be excreted. Lipophilic drugs need to be
metabolised to make it water-soluble in order to be eliminated.

Toxicity: metabolism leads to reactive metabolites.

Metabolism of paracetamol
- Normal pathway: Paracetamol is converted to
hydrophilic compound which is easy to excrete.
- Toxic pathway: Paracetamol is metabolized to an N-
hydroxyl metabolite unstable, so it changes to NAPQI
 toxic.

Normal pathway is faster  will be chosen first. When all
routes are saturated  toxicity.

Toxification / bioactivation: metabolite more toxic than parent compound.
Detoxification: metabolite less toxic than parent compound.

Adverse effect: any unwanted effect of a drug that interferes with the normal function and
adaptability of the body to the environment.

Undesirable effect: on/off target
- On-target toxicity: due to exaggerated pharmacological effect or on same receptor but on
different tissue. On same receptor.
- Off-target toxicity: via completely different mechanism (different target) than the
pharmacological effect. Effect on the incorrect receptor.

,Targets for toxins:
- Receptors
- Proteins (enzymes/transporters)
- Membrane-lipids
- DNA/RNA (can lead to tumors)
- Ca2+ homeostasis
- Ion channels
- Mitochondria (damage  no energy)

Immunotoxicity: toxic effects by immune system, response to damage somewhere in the body.
- Due to toxic effects on immune system itself: toxic effect on B or T lymphocytes.
- Due to suppression/stimulation of the immune system.

Same dose ≠ same exposure
These can all affect the exposure, even in the dose is not different.
- Differences in exposure routes.
- Species/interindividual differences in ADME.
- Accumulation.
- Time (dose*time).
- Interactions (induction/inhibition).

Toxicity is determined by:
These determine the risks and the safety of the compound.
- Characteristics of the compound: hazard  Compound potentially has an adverse effect.
- Amount/dose/concentration: degree of exposure to the hazard.

Toxicity depends on the exposure (= AUC of the concentration-time curve).

Parameters
- LD50: dose needed to kill 50% of population. Low = toxic.
- TD50: dose needed for 50% of max toxic effect / where 50% of population shows toxic effect.
- TC50: plasma concentration for 50% of max toxic effect / where 50% of pop shows toxic
effect.
- ED50: dose for 50% of desired effect / when 50% of population shows desired effect.
- EC50: plasma concentration for 50% of desired effect / when 50% of population shows
desired effect.

LOAEL: Lowest Observed Adverse Effect Level  first tested dose/concentration that gives toxic
effect.
NOAEL: No Observed Adverse Effect Level:  just below LOAEL.

ADI: acceptable daily intake.

Risk assessment
- Hazard: anything that can cause harm (biological property/potential).
- Risk: greatness of chance that hazard will harm someone (chance on toxicity.

Measures for safety
- Therapeutic index: TD50 / ED50.
- Margin of safety MOS: TD1 / ED99

,Drug testing
Toxicity is tested first in vitro  on animals  on healthy people  on patients

Toxicology in drug development
- Research phase: screening for toxicology/metabolism (in vitro).
- Development phase: ADME (in vitro + in vivo).
- Clinical phase: human PK/toxicity/safety.
- Post-marketing: side effects, pharmacovigilance, PMS.

ADR’s are a major clinical problem.

When a drug is put on the market, the safety data is limited.

Lareb: the central collection point for all side effects of pharmaceutical drugs in the Netherlands.

REACH: Registration, Evaluation and Authorization of CHemical substances. Data about safe use of
chemical substances. European community regulations.

, Lecture 2: ADME & Toxicokinetics (Olinga)

ADME determines the exposure to the final toxic compound.

Toxicity
- Local toxicity: harmful without being absorbed.
- Systemic toxicity: harmful after uptake in the systemic circulation.

Bioavailability: fraction of dose that reaches the systemic circulation. Decreased by the first pass
effect (metabolism in the intestine and liver).
- Bioavailability = AUCoral/AUCi.v.

Absorption takes place in the epithelial cells.

Membrane transport
Membranes are lipophilic hydrophobic compounds are taken up easily. Hydrophilic compounds
are taken up via transporters.
- Passive transport: due to concentration difference. Via simple diffusion, a channel, or a
carrier. Lipophilic drugs can diffuse, hydrophilic drugs need to be carrier mediated.
- Active transport: against electrochemical gradient  energy required. Transport through a
channel.

Absorption in GI
Depends on:
- pH (varies from 2-7).
- Blood flow.
- Metabolism in intestinal epithelial.
- Transporters in intestinal epithelium.
- Nutritional status.
- Intestinal contractions.
- Bacteria (metabolism, bioactivation, detoxification).
Surface small intestine = 250 m2.

Compound properties that affect uptake
- Lipophilicity
- Pka
- Affinity for uptake carriers
- Size
- Solubility
- Affinity for metabolic enzymes.
- Affinity for excretion carriers (P-gp).

Factors influencing intestinal toxicity (exposure)
- High concentrations in intestinal lumen after oral administration.
- Degree of uptake/excretion in intestinal epithelium.
- Metabolism (bacteria, through wall epithelial cells, pH)

Enterohepatic circulation: compound is metabolised in the liver  excreted back into GI tract 
taken up by the liver again.
