Xenobiotic Metabolism Peer-Review Journals

Drug metabolism is that the metabolic breakdown of medicine by living organisms, usually through specialized enzymatic systems. More generally, xenobiotic metabolism (from the Greek xenos "stranger" and biotic "related to living beings") is that the set of metabolic pathways that modify the chemical structure of xenobiotic, which are compounds foreign to an organism's normal biochemistry, like any drug or poison. These pathways are a sort of biotransformation present altogether 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 named pharmacokinetics
