Biotransformation of Xenobiotics

Timbrell, John A., Marrs, Timothy C.·2009·General, Applied and Systems Toxicology

Abstract

Xenobiotics, which are absorbed into biological systems by passive diffusion across membranes are usually lipid soluble and not ideally suited for excretion. Indeed very lipophilic substances may remain in the mammalian body for many years. After a xenobiotic has been absorbed, it may undergo biotransformation to products which are rapidly excreted and therefore elimination of the compound from the animal is facilitated. However, biotransformation may also change the biological activity of the substance. Hence, the metabolic fate of the compound can have an important bearing on its toxic potential, the disposition of the compound in the body and the excretion of the compound. The metabolic reactions involved are usually divided into phase 1 and phase 2 reactions, the latter being conjugation reactions. The products of metabolism are usually more water soluble than the original compound. Although usually detoxifying, these reactions, especially phase 1 ones, sometimes increase toxicity.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
