MCQ 6 answer

Following are Synthetic reactions in biotransformation except

  1. Glucuronidation
  2. Acetylation
  3. Methylation
  4. Reduction

answer:  reduction


The classification of biotransformation is given by R.T.WILLIAMS

As PHASE I and PHASE II reaction

PHASE I Reactions:

  • Non-synthetic reaction – metabolite may be active or inactive
    • Oxidation
    • Reduction
    • Hydrolysis
    • Cyclization
    • Decyclization
    • hydroxylation (aromatic and aliphatic)

PHASE II Reactions:

  • Synthetic/Conjugation reaction – metabolite is  mostly inactive
  • Glucuronidation
  • Acetylation
  • Methylation
  • Sulphate
  • Glycine
  • glutathione
