Drug conjugation in clinical toxicology.
نویسنده
چکیده
Conjugation is an important mechanism for the rapid inactivation and extensive removal of drugs and poisons from the body, and as such it is of major significance in clinical toxicology. The capacity for conjugation of some drugs is large, but with others, saturation may occur with overdosage or even high therapeutic doses. Glutathione conjugation is an important mechanism of protection against toxicity produced by heavy metals, alkylating agents and some compounds which undergo metabolic activation.

NAD(P)H quinone oxidoreductase 1 (NQO1) is an enzyme capable of reducing a broad range of chemically reactive quinones and quinoneimines (QIs) and can be strongly upregulated by Nrf2/Keap1-mediated stress responses. Several commonly used drugs implicated in adverse drug reactions (ADRs) are known to form reactive QI metabolites upon bioactivation by P450, such as acetaminophen (APAP), diclofena...
