Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Cytochrome P-450 hepatic microsomal enzymes inactivate drugs but not through conjugation.They are involved in phase I metabolism and metabolize drugs through oxidation,reduction,and hydrolysis reactions.Phase II reactions involve conjugation with glucuronic acid,sulfuric acid,acetic acid,or an amino acid.Cytochrome P-450 hepatic microsomal enzymes can be induced to speed up drug metabolism or inhibited to reduce or slow down drug metabolism.They exist as numerous isozymes that have specificity for certain drugs.Examples of isoenzymes include cytochrome P-450 and 3A4.
