Drug Biotransformation And Drug Metabolism Mind Map

Drug biotransformation, or drug metabolism, is the process by which drugs are converted by living organisms into intermediates and ultimately into their active metabolites. The mind map of drug biotransformation illustrates the various pathways involved in this process and highlights the main biochemical and physiological processes involved. It also provides an overview of the different enzymes that catalyze drug metabolism as well as chemical and enzymatic transformations that occur during the process. As illustrated in the drug biotransformation mind map, drug biotransformation/metabolism can be broken down into two major categories: Phase I metabolism and Phase II metabolism. The former involves oxidations, reductions, hydrolysis, and other reactions that are catalyzed by microsomal cytochrome P450 enzymes. The latter involves the conjugation of drugs with glucuronic acid, sulfate, and amino acids that are mediated by transferases. Understanding drug transformation and metabolism is important in predicting the pharmacological outcome of a medication in a patient since it can affect bioavailability as well as toxicity.
