0
Why are Phase I metabolic reactions essential before Phase II conjugation in drug metabolism?
Because Phase I reactions directly excrete drugs without further modification.
Because Phase I reactions always detoxify drugs without producing any reactive intermediates.
Because Phase I reactions introduce or expose functional groups that increase drug polarity, enabling effective conjugation in Phase II.

Hepatotoxicity
When lifesaving drugs become liver poisons, the stakes for patient safety skyrocket
5 days ago
0
Why is drug-induced liver injury (DILI) a major concern in drug development and patient treatment?
Because the liver metabolizes drugs into potentially toxic substances that can cause liver damage, leading to drug withdrawal and health risks.
Because all drugs inherently cause liver damage regardless of dosage or patient factors.
Because liver damage from drugs is always predictable and easily prevented during early testing.
