Cytochrome P450 (CYP) enzymes are a large family of heme-containing enzymes found primarily in the liver. They play a critical role in the metabolism of a wide variety of substances, including drugs, toxins, and endogenous compounds such as hormones and fatty acids. The name "P450" comes from the absorption peak at 450 nm when the enzyme is bound to carbon monoxide. These enzymes facilitate oxidation reactions, which often make substances more water-soluble and easier to excrete from the body. CYP enzymes are involved in numerous drug interactions due to their ability to metabolize medications. These interactions can lead to altered drug levels, resulting in either reduced efficacy or increased toxicity. Key CYP enzymes include CYP3A4, CYP2D6, CYP2C9, CYP2C19, and CYP1A2, each responsible for the metabolism of different drugs. But in this slide share, we only study the drug interaction of the cytochrome P450 enzyme. Understanding the function and interactions of CYP enzymes is essential in pharmacology to ensure safe and effective drug therapy. It also includes the mechanisms of drug interaction, i.e., enzyme inhibition and enzyme induction, with proper examples and explained in easy language. I hope you find it useful. Thank you so much..
