Ques:- what do you mean by biotransformation or metabolism of drugs. discuss different types of biotransformation ? Biotransformation of drugs is like changing the shape and nature of medicines in our body so they can be handled and removed easily. There are two main steps in this process: Step 1 - Phase I Reactions: Altering the Drug Oxidation: Enzymes in our body add oxygen to the medicine, making it a bit different. This might add things like hydroxyl groups to the medicine. Reduction: Enzymes add electrons to the medicine, making it simpler and changing its properties. Hydrolysis: Water is used to break apart the medicine into smaller pieces, making it easier to manage. Step 2 - Phase II Reactions: Adding Water-Soluble Tags Glucuronidation: Our body sticks a special tag called glucuronic acid onto the medicine. This tag helps the medicine dissolve in water, so our body can remove it through urine. Sulfati...
