Reazioni di Fase I: Ossidazione di Carbonio-Eteroatomo e Sistemi Vari
Carbon-nitrogen systems, encompassing aliphatic and alicyclic amines, undergo oxidative reactions.
Secondary and tertiary amines primarily undergo ...
Reazioni di Fase I: Reazioni Riduttive
Reductive reactions introduce electrons to drug molecules, affecting polar functional groups like hydroxy and amino, allowing subsequent biotransformation ...
Reazioni di fase I: reazioni idrolitiche
Hydrolysis is a chemical process where a compound is decomposed by reacting with water without altering its oxidation state.
This process plays a vital ...
Reazioni di coniugazione di fase II: panoramica
Conjugation involves the covalent linkage of a conjugating reagent to drugs or their metabolites in the presence of a transferase enzyme.
These reagents ...
Reazioni di fase II: glucuronidazione
Glucuronidation, a key phase II biotransformation reaction, involves the conjugation of glucuronic acid to xenobiotics or metabolites.
