20 Glucuronyl transferase conjugations C C R + UDP Glucuronyl transferase R + UDP UDP (uridin diphosphate) delivers the energy to the conjugation process Important phase II reactions for both exo- and endogenous compounds Many forms with a wide range of substrates Localised in SER in close connection with the MF-system The resulting glucuronides are excreted in urine and faeces

21 Examples of Glucuronide conjugations -Glucuronid -C -G -C - -G - C = C - G -Glucuronide - C -G Alcohol Aliphatic Alicyclic Phenolic Carboxyl acid Aliphatic Aromatic α,β-unsaturated ketone Carbamate Trichloroethanol exobarbital Estrone α-ethylhexanoic acid o-aminobenzoic acid Progesterone Meprobamate R S 2 -G Sulfonamide Sulfadimethoxine S-Glucuronide Ar S - G Aryl thiol Thiophenol C-Glucuronide -C -G 1,3-Dicarbonyl system Phenylbutazone

22 Sulfotransferase conjugation R + PAPS Sulfotransferase R S + ADP PAPS (Phosphoadenine phosphosulphate) delivers the energy Localised in the cytosol Adds sulphate to -groups (phenols and aliphatic alcohols) Also important for the transformation of endogenous low-molecular compounds (catacholamins, hydroxy-steroids, bile salts) The conjugates are primarily excreted in the urine

30 Bioactivation

31 Bioactivation is define as: Enzymatically formed metabolites, which are more reactive than the mother substance and excreted metabolites The most significant toxicological effects of xenobiotics are reactive metabolites - can react with nucleophilic sites - S groups (glutathione, cystein) - 2 and C groups (DA, RA, proteins) Imbalance between formation and detoxification of reactive metabolites can arise from: - enzyme induction (increased biotransformation and formation of reactive metabolites) - high dose of xenobiotic depletion of cellular defence mechanisms saturation of non-toxic pathways

32 Examples of bioactivating compounds Reactive pathway Factors increasing Stof or intermediate product toxicity Acetaminophen -hydroxylation Sulphate and GS depletion Acetylhydrazine Aflatoxin B Benzen -hydroxylation Epoxidation Epoxidation Benzo[a]pyren Epoxidation Further metabolism PCB Epoxidation GS depletion Tetrachlorcarbon Free radicals Reductive metabolism alotane Free radicals Reductive metabolism Parathion xidation with sulphur formation
