Background technology
Liver is the major organs of drug accumulation, conversion, metabolism, and especially namely oral drugs enter liver by after gastrointestinal absorption, and the concentration in liver is comparatively high in blood and other organs.When the consumption of medicine is excessive or administration time is long, will damage liver.When particularly share two or more medicine irrelevantly, infringement more very, can cause part of hepatocytes downright bad, occur the abnormal liver function situation such as jaundice, serum glutamic pyruvic transminase rising.Because the toxic action of medicine and metabolite or body produce anaphylaxis to medicine, liver is caused damage, causes liver tissues inflammatory, cause hepatic necrosis, be drug induced hepatic injury.The medicine of drug induced hepatic injury can be caused to mainly contain antipyretic-antalgic class antibiotic medicine (as acamol), sedative hypnotic, antitubercular agent, antiparasitic and some antimicrobial drug and hormone medicine etc.
Most fat-soluble medicine is metabolized to water-soluble products by the P450 system of liver through first-phase redox reaction and second-phase association reaction.Medicine causes the mechanism of hepatocyte injury to comprise:
1, drug metabolite formation oxygen-derived free radicals makes lipid peroxidation cause hepatocyte injury;
2, because genetic background difference makes P450 phenotype different, some drugs produces electrophilic product through metabolism, causes cell injury by covalent bond damage liver plasma membrane and hepatic mitochondria, microsomal membrane;
3, the super oxidative ionic of drug metabolism generation impels lipid peroxidation, causes hepatocyte injury etc.
Cold, fever is common disease, paracetamol etc. are containing acetaminophen (Acetaminophen, be abbreviated as APAP, have another name called acamol, paracetamol) medicine be usually used in antipyretic-antalgic, treatment cold, fever, apply very extensive.But, through clinical observation and laboratory proofing, heavy dose or prolonged application APAP, the serious lesions of liver and kidney of animal and human (James LP can be caused, Mayeux PR, HinsonJA.Acetaminophen-induced Hepato-toxicity [J] .Drug metabolism and dispositkm, 2003,31 (12): 1499.), even dead.APAP is in vivo through liver cell pigment P450 metabolism, overwhelming majority product is combined with sulphuric acid, Portugal's glucuronic acid, only seldom a part generates toxicity intermediate product (N-acetyl-p-benzoquinonimine, NAPQI), participates in deactivation by reduced glutathion (GSH).When NAPQI generates too much or GSH declines, NAPQI regulating liver-QI intracellular macromolecules covalent bond forms adduct.NAPQI induced oxidation stress causes peroxide injury, with mitochondrion in conjunction with the energy metabolism (KnightR in interference cell, Fariss MW, Farhood A, et al.Role oflipid peroxidation as a mechanism of liverinjury after acetaminophen overdose in mice [J] .Toxicol Sci, 2003,76 (1): 229.).Oxygen molecule also activates Viability oxygen through P450, and the generation of this kind of free radical and membrane lipid peroxidatio reaction combined effect, cause liver GSH to exhaust, cause hepatic necrosis, cause hepatic injury.
