Often, the drug molecule is a substrate analogue (e.g. captopril, acting on angiotensin-converting enzyme) Irreversible inhibitors usually react with the enzyme and change it chemically (e.g. via covalent bond formation). These inhibitors modify key amino acid residues needed for enzymatic activity (e.g. aspirin, acting on cyclo-oxygenase) Reversible competitive inhibition of enzyme (inhibition of ACE by captopril):: The active site of angiotensin-converting enzyme. [A] Binding of angiotensin I. [B] Binding of the inhibitor captopril, which is an analogue of the terminal dipeptide of angiotensin I. Downloaded from: StudentConsult (on 6 November 2013 02:30 PM) © 2005 Elsevier Irreversible non-competitive inhibition of enzyme (inhibition of COX-1 or COX-2 by aspirin): Aspirin acetylates serine residue in the active site of the COX enzyme This makes aspirin different from other NSAIDs (such as diclofenac and ibuprofen, which are reversible inhibitors). Irreversible inhibition of enzyme: Recovery is possible only by synthesis of a new enzyme Irreversible inhibition of COX in thrombocytes and in endothelium • As thrombocytes (platelets) do not have nucleus (adequate DNA), they are unable to synthesize new COX once aspirin has irreversibly inhibited the enzyme • Endothelial cells have nucleus and are able to recover synthesis of COX MECHANISM OF ACTION OF NON-OPIOID ANALGESICS CYKLO-OXYGENASE COX CONSTITUTIVE ISOENZYME COX-1 PHYSIOLOGICAL FUNCTIONS PROTECTION OF GASTRIC MUCOUS MEMBR.

REVERSIBLE physostigmine, neostigmine, rivastigmine Are used medicinally: • antidote to anticholinergic poisoning • to treat glaucoma • to treat myasthenia gravis • to treat Alzheimer disease • to reverse the effect of non-depolarising muscle relaxants IRREVERSIBLE • Are used as weapons in the form of nerve agents • Are used as insecticides Monoamine oxidase inhibitors (MAOIs) a long history originally irreversible, now withdrawn Because of potentially lethal dietary („cheese effect“ and drug interactions, hypertensive crisis MAOIs have been reserved as a last line of treatment, used only when other classes of antidepressant drugs have failed.

An example is the anticancer drug fluorouracil, which replaces uracil as an intermediate in purine biosynthesis but cannot be converted into thymidylate, thus blocking DNA synthesis and preventing cell division Drug - cytochrome P450 interactions Cytochrome P450 (CYP) enzymes The most important enzymes involved in drug interactions are members of the cytochrome P450 (CYP) system that are responsible for many of the phase 1 biotransformations of drugs. These metabolic transformations, such as oxidation, reduction and hydrolysis, produce a molecule that is suitable for conjugation. Those of importance in the metabolism of psychotropic drugs are CYP1A2, CYP2C9, CYP2C19, CYP2D6 and CYP3A4, the last being responsible for the metabolism of more than 90% of psychotropic drugs that undergo hepatic biotransformation. a high affinity for one particular CYP enzyme but most are oxidised by more than one Many psychotropic drugs have Genetic effects: Genetic polymorphism The CYP enzymes that demonstrate pharmacogenetic polymorphism include CYP2C9, CYP2C19 and CYP2D6. In clinical practice, the polymorphism produces distinct phenotypes, described as poor metabolisers, extensive metabolisers (the most common type) and ultra-rapid metabolisers. Drug effects: CYP enzymes can be induced or inhibited by drugs or other biological substances, with a consequent change in their ability to metabolise drugs that are normally substrates for those enzymes. Enzymatic induction enzymatic induction can cause a decrease as well as an increase in the drug’s effect The onset and offset of enzyme induction take place gradually, usually over 7– 10 days The most important are inducers of CYP3A4 and include carbamazepine, phenobarbital, phenytoin, rifampicin and St John’s wort (Hypericum perforatum). An example of an interaction in psychiatric practice is the reduced efficacy of haloperidol (or alprazolam) when carbamazepine is started, resulting from induction of CYP3A4. Enzymatic inhibition enzymatic inhibition can cause an increase as well as a decrease in the drug’s effect Inhibition is usually due to a competitive action at the enzyme’s binding site. Therefore, in contrast to enzyme induction, the onset and offset of inhibition are dependent on the plasma level of the inhibiting drug Inhibition of CYP enzymes is the most common mechanism that produces serious and potentially life-threatening drug interactions Most hazardous drug interactions involve inhibition of enzyme systems, which increases plasma concentrations of the drugs involved, in turn leading to an increased risk of toxic effects. Amitriptyline + fluoxetine Fluoxetine inhibits 2D6 Amitriptyline is a substrate for 2D6 Amitriptyline + fluoxetine → increased plasma levels of amitriptyline and prolonged t1/2 → sometimes fatal consequences OTHER ADVERSE CLINICAL CONSEQUENCES OF DRUG INTERACTIONS* Profound oversedation Profound and prolonged sedation can be brought about by inhibition of CYP3A4 enzymes that are involved in the metabolism of anxiolytics and sedatives e.g. alprazolam, midazolam + ketoconazole/clarithromycine/grapefruit Severe sedation due to the additive effect (summation) of drugs with sedating properties is a particular problem in elderly and frail people, and it can lead to falls and injuries (especially fractures of the femoral neck). Excessively drowsy patients are also at increased risk of venous thromboembolism and, if confined to bed, of hypostatic pneumonia. In people who drive, increased sedation due to drug interactions carries a correspondingly increased risk of road traffic accidents.
