Question

what is drug metabolism​

Answer 1

DRUG METABOLISM is the metabolic breakdown of drugs by living organisms, usually through specialized enzymatic systems. More generally, xenobiotic metabolism (from the Greek xenos "stranger" and biotic "related to living beings") is the set of metabolic pathways that modify the chemical structure of xenobiotics, which are compounds foreign to an organism's normal biochemistry, such as any drug or poison. These pathways are a form of biotransformation present in all major groups of organisms and are considered to be of ancient origin. These reactions often act to detoxify poisonous compounds (although in some cases the intermediates in xenobiotic metabolism can themselves cause toxic effects). The study of drug metabolism is called pharmacokinetics.

Answer 2

Answer:

When a drug is given to any patient it travels through the body to reach the target through the following ways :

• The drugs should be the target without getting mat applied on its way to the target.
• The residual all products of metabolism should be excreted out without causing any harm in the body.
• The mechanism of drug action and metabolic pathway in the biosystem helps to improve their drug activity and minimise its side-effects.
