What is the metabolic minor pathway for Acetaminophen?
Oxidized by cytochrome P450 (enzyme) into a reactive toxic metabolite (only small amount of drug converted into toxic metabolite then converts to non-toxic)
Oxidized by cytochrome P450 (enzyme) into a reactive non-toxic metabolite (large amount of drug converted into toxic metabolite then non-toxic)
None of the above
What is the overdose process?
Large amount of drug is processed by minor pathway --> increase the amount of toxic metabolite as glutathione converts the toxic metabolite to non-toxic form --> it becomes depleted & detoxification stops --> results in increase toxic metabolites --> liver damage
Large amount of drug is processed by major pathway --> increase the amount of toxic metabolite as glutathione converts the toxic metabolite to non-toxic form --> it becomes depleted & detoxification stops --> results in increase toxic metabolites --> liver damage
Large amount of drug is processed by minor pathway --> increase the amount of toxic metabolite as glutathione converts the toxic metabolite to non-toxic form --> it becomes depleted & detoxification stops --> results in increase toxic metabolites --> kidney damage
Large amount of drug is processed by major pathway --> increase the amount of toxic metabolite as glutathione converts the toxic metabolite to non-toxic form --> it becomes depleted & detoxification stops --> results in increase toxic metabolites --> kidney damage
