Metabolizatorii rapizi (cu gen CYP2D6*2 duplicat sau multiduplicat) sunt

reprezentai diferit n diferite populaii. De exemplu: procentul nregistrat este de
1% printre suedezii de tip caucazian, 3,6% n Germania, 7 10% n Spania, 20% n
Arabia Saudit. Frecvena maxim de metabolizatori rapizi a fost nregistrat la
negrii etiopieni, fiind 29%.
Polimorfismul CYP2C19
Deficiena de CYP2C19 (cunoscut ca deficiena de mefenitoin hidroxilaz)
este semnificativ la populaia asiatic, fiind identificat la un procent de aproximativ 20% dintre indivizi i existnd ntr-un procent sub semnificaia statistic (3
5%) la populaia caucazian.
Deficiena de CYP2C19 este motenit ca o trstur autosomal recesiv i au
fost identificate, pn n prezent, patru allele deficiente (defective).
3.4.2.3.7.2. Polimorfismul sintetazelor
Activitatea unor enzime ale fazei a II-a de metabolizare a medicamentelor la
indivizii umani este exprimat polimorfic.
Polimorfismul la N-Acetiltransferaza-2 (NAT-2)
Mutaiile enzimei N-acetiltransferaza-2 (NAT-2) sunt frecvente. Ele induc
variabilitate farmacocinetic, dar pn n prezent nu au fost evideniate consecine
importante asupra efectului farmacodinamic.
Fenotipul acetilator lent este asociat cu motenirea a dou allele nefuncionale
NAT-2.
Proporia de indivizi acetilatori NAT-2 leni i respectiv rapizi ntr-o populaie
variaz, n funcie de originea etnic i geografic, pe o scar foarte extins. Astfel,
procentul de acetilatori NAT-2 leni variaz de la numai 1 5% la eschimoii
canadieni, la cca 7% la polinezieni i 15 22% la chinezi, la 42 55% la
americanii de origine caucazian i african i la 49 57% la africani, crescnd
pn la 33 70% la europeni i la americanii de origine european i la 55 75%
la populaiile mediteraneene (evrei israelieni etc.), atingnd 82% la egipteni [9].
Variabilitatea frecvenei de distribuie a fenotipului acetilator rapid, n
grupurile populaionale cu diferite origini etnice, este sintetizat n continuare
(sintez dup Averys, 1997):
Grupurile etnice de origine asiatic au frecvena distribuiei = 40 100%;
Grupurile etnice de origine african au frecvena distribuiei = 20 59%;
Grupurile etnice de origine european au frecvena distribuiei = 30 67%;
Grupurile etnice de origine mediteraneean au frecvena distribuiei =
18 45%.
Polimorfismul la Tiopurin S-metil transferaz (TPMT)
Polimorfismul a fost evideniat la mai multe metil transferaze, ntre care:
Topurin S-metiltransferaz (TPMT) i catecol O-metil transferaz (COMT).

compartimentul periferic; faza =
eliminarea din compartimentul central.

3.6.2.1.2.3. Reprezentarea grafic: vezi figurile 3.16 b i 3.17.

n cazul medicamentelor ce se fixeaz i se depoziteaz n organul de
eliminare, n etapa de eliminare apare i o a treia faz, faza de eliminare tardiv
din compartimentul profund.
Acestei faze i corespunde un timp de njumtire lung.
Exemplu: aminoglicozidele (tip streptomicin) care se fixeaz n cortexul renal.
n consecin, aminozidele au doi timpi de njumtire n etapa de eliminare:
T 1/2 scurt (al fazei ) = 1,5 2,5 ore;
T 1/2 lung (al fazei ) = 50 120 ore.
Faza este responsabil pentru nefrotoxicitatea aminoglicozidelor.
n cazul n care medicamentele se administreaz oral, modelul compartimental
farmacocinetic se complic prin procesul de absorbie. Apare un compartiment
suplimentar, cuprinznd volumul din care se face absorbia (fig. 3.18 i 3.19).

Evidenierea se face prin apariia sindromului de abstinen, sau de retragere

(withdrawal syndrom), manifestat prin simptome caracteristice psihice, vegetative i somatice, opuse aciunilor farmacodinamice ale substanei. De ex., n
sindromul de abstinen la morfinomimetice apar simptome de tip adrenergic.
Farmacodependena fizic reclam necesitatea continurii administrrii substanei, pentru a evita tulburrile i simptomele neplcute, i uneori grave, ale
sindromului de abstinen.
Mecanismul instalrii sindromului de abstinen const n sensibilizarea unui
sistem, a crui activitate este modulat de sistemul asupra cruia acioneaz drogul.

Exemple
n cazul morfinomimeticelor se instaleaz sensibilizarea receptorilor
adrenergici (up-regulation), sistemul adrenergic fiind modulat de ctre sistemul
opioid endogen, la nivelul cruia acioneaz morfinomimeticele, n sensul
diminurii eliberrii de neuromediator adrenergic;
n cazul barbituricelor (fenobarbital) se sensibilizeaz receptorii glutamatergici, deoarece eliberarea neuromediatorului specific acidul glutamic este
inhibat de un tratament ndelungat cu barbiturice, prin stimularea activitii
transmisiei inhibitoare GABA-ergice.

5.9. TOXICOMANIA (DRUG ADDICTION)

Este o stare de intoxicaie cronic, ce totalizeaz trei efecte adverse:
farmacodependena psihic;
farmacodependena fizic;
tolerana (obinuina).

Tipuri de toxicomanii
n funcie de numrul drogurilor, exist:
monotoxicomanii
politoxicomanii.
n funcie de drog, sunt:
toxicomanii minore (de ex.: la barbituricele hipnotice, tranchilizante, alcool);
toxicomanii majore (de ex.: la morfin, heroin, canabis, LSD).
Substane capabile s produc farmacodependena
Sunt:
deprimante SNC (alcool, hipnotice precum barbituricele, sedative,
tranchilizante, ca diazepamul i meprobamatul);
morfinomimetice (tip morfin i heroin);
stimulente SNC (tip amfetamin, tip cocain i tip khat);
halucinogene (tip indol, precum dietilamida acidului lisergic LSD , i
tip mescalin);
cannabis (marijuana, hai, tetrahidrocanabinol);
solveni organici volatili (aceton, tetraclorur de carbon, toluen);

Acizii grai polinesaturai se afl n competiie n special n privina

desaturrii. n special acizii omega 3 sunt capabili s inhibe -6-desaturarea i
-5-desaturarea. De exemplu, dac se dorete creterea concentraiei de acid
dihomo -linolenic din care se sintetizeaz icosanoizi cu efecte benefice, atunci se
recomand administrarea precursorului (acidul -linolenic) mpreun cu acidul
eicosapentaenoic pentru a se bloca conversia (prin -5-desaturaz) ctre acidul
arahidonic.
Suplimentarea dietei cu acizi grai omega 3 (ulei de pete, ulei de semine de
in, ulei de nuc, ulei de rapi), concomitent cu administrarea de aspirin, crete
producia de rezolvine cu efecte antiinflamatorii.

6.9.11. TRANSMISIA CANABINOIDERGIC

Sistemul semnalizator cannabinoid endogen (SCBE) este clasificat ca sistem
lipidergic, n raport cu structura biochimic a mediatorilor chimici. Mediatorii
chimici, denumii endocannabinoide, au fost sintetizai din lipidele membranelor
celulare, ca i eicosanoidele, cu care au similitudine de structur chimic, derivnd
de la acidul arahidonic. Receptorii cannabinoizi CB1 i CB2 au fost identificai
prin clonare molecular, respectiv din creier, n 1990, i din splin, n 1993 [60].
Sistemul endocannabinoid a fost evideniat nu numai la vertebrate, ci i la
nevertebrate, dar nu la toate, iar receptorii i funciile fiziologice ale acestora
prezint diferene. Sistemul cannabinoid endogen (sau o parte dintre componentele
sale) pare s fie conservat la aproape toate speciile animale, de la Hydra sp. la
Homo sapiens [61]. Endocannabinoidele au fost identificate n cantiti mici i n
cacao (semine fermentate de Theobroma cocoa) i n ciocolat.
SCBE ofer inte noi farmacologice pentru dezvoltarea medicaiei [104]. Exist
ns o larg dezbatere n lumea tiinific, referitoare la urmtoarea dilem: prezint
sau nu siguran, pentru pacient, introducerea n terapeutic a cannabinoidelor (de
sintez sau semisintez) sau/i a unor compui ce pot crete nivelurile de
cannabinoide endogene? Pericolul principal este reprezentat de potenialul de abuz i
de riscul bolilor psihiatrice, cunoscute a fi induse la utilizarea pe termen lung a
fitocannabinoidelor din cannabis (produsele rezultate din Cannabis indica cnepa
indian , cunoscute sub numele generic de cannabis, sunt: marijuana = frunzele i
inflorescena; i hai = rezina). Acest potenial de efecte adverse psihotrope este
declanat prin activarea receptorilor canabinoizi CB1.

6.9.11.1. Neuromediatorii
Sunt cunoscute urmtoarele endocannabinoide:
arahidonoyletanolamida (AEA), denumit anandamid;
2- arahidonoylglicerol (2- AG);
2-arachidonoylglicerol eter (noladin eter).

farmacologiei, care studiaz natura informaional a medicamentului i a proceselor
farmacologice. n forma actual, prezentat n carte, farmacologia informaional
este fundamentat pe baza unui concept de farmacologie cibernetic - informaional,
elaborat i dezvoltat teoretic i experimental (Cristea, A., 1985 1998).
Avnd n vedere noutatea i dificultatea de abordare a farmacologiei cibernetice-informaionale, din punct de vedere didactic, capitolul 10 este mprit n
dou mari pri:
10.1. Sinteze de farmacologie informaional;
10.2. Analize de farmacologie informaional.

10.1. SINTEZE DE FARMACOLOGIE INFORMAIONAL

10.1.1. NECESITATEA APARIIEI FARMACOLOGIEI
INFORMAIONALE (FI)
Farmacologia, similar cu alte tiine nrudite (biologie, medicin), a evoluat de
la farmacologia clasic, la nivel fiziologic (organe, aparate, sisteme), la
farmacologia modern, la nivel biochimic (celular i molecular), cu un imens ctig
n detaliu i profunzime (a se vedea la cap. 6).
Farmacologia modern i-a nsuit noiunile de semnal (biologic sau farmacologic), informaie, receptor, acceptnd faptul, evident la nivelul actual de cunoatere, c medicamentul acioneaz prin informaia transmis sistemului receptor
specific.
Evoluia fireasc a farmacologiei moderne este spre o farmacologie ultramodern informaional, cu un ctig n regsirea conexiunilor, a principiilor i a
legilor, la nivel sistemic cibernetic - informaional (fig. 10.1).
Necesitatea introducerii n farmacologie a concepiei informaionale (a teoriei
generale a sistemelor, a teoriei generale a informaiei, a legilor informaiei i ale
cauzalitii informaionale) a fost semnalat [4].

 Traductorii: baro- i chemoreceptorii, aparatul juxta-glomerular renal,

receptorii presinaptici modulatori etc.
Componentele sistemului informaional uman sunt:
Sursele de semnale: nucleul cu acizii nucleici (ADN i ARN), depozitele de
mediatori chimici (vezicule presinaptice, granule mastocitare, glande endocrine etc.);
Canalele de comunicaie a informaiei: nervoase (fibre, sinapse) i umorale
(snge, limf);
Sistemele receptoare: receptorii celulari (membranari, citoplasmatici, nucleici).
Mecanismele de reglare cibernetic a organismului uman sunt:
mecanismul de feed-back (mecanism de retrocontrol): ex.: feed-back
endocrin i feed-back sinaptic;
mecanismul de feed-before (mecanism de anticipare): ex.: feed-before de
stres i reflexele condiionate alimentare [46].

10.1.2.2. Sistemul mesager informaional al organismului uman

Se bazeaz pe triada substanenergieinformaie, triad metodologic
descris de Norbert Wiener (1948), care a artat c informaia se deosebete de
substan i de energie, informaia nefiind nici substan i nici energie [56].
Informaia este foarte greu de definit. Se poate accepta urmtoarea definiie:
informaia reprezint expresia ordinii i a organizrii sau a noutii pe care o poate
aduce o reorganizare sau o alt ordine.
Informaia reprezint un alt aspect al realitii, care are alte legi de
transformare i conservare [47].
Astfel, trebuie reinut c:
Informaia poate trece foarte uor de pe un substrat pe altul; de aceea, ea nu
trebuie i nu poate s fie confundat cu substana sau cu energia care o poart;
Informaia poate suferi modificri importante, prin simpla reorganizare,
chiar dac substana i energia rmn perfect conservate.
Informaia are i alte uniti de msur, fa de substan i energie (tabelul 10.1).

Mrimea informaiei (I) pe care o aduce un eveniment, n cazul n care fenomenele sunt echiprobabile, este dat de urmtoarea ecuaie (dup Hartley R. V.,
1928) [35]:
I = log2n,

n = numrul de evenimente posibile.

10.2.5. NATURA INFORMAIONAL

A REACIILOR ADVERSE [7, 14, 15, 25]
10.2.5.1. Conceptul de farmacotoxicologie informaional
Conceptul de farmacologie informaional, dezvoltat ca un concept de baz
n farmacologie i farmacoterapie [18], conform legilor cauzalitii informaionale,
evideniaz faptul c: att efectele biologice benefice terapeutic, ct i reaciile
adverse (RA) sunt de natur informaional.
Dezvoltnd farmacotoxicologia informaional, conceptul relev faptul c M
poate fi i nociv, nu prin cantitatea (doza) de substan n sine, ci tocmai prin informaia purtat de aceasta, informaie ce poate deveni agresiv pentru biologic, n
anumite condiii, n corelaie cu cantitatea sa, dar mai ales cu semnificaia pe care
i-o acord substratul receptor i organismul, ntr-un context spaio-temporal. Pe
aceast baz, se susine importana tratrii aspectului farmaco-toxicologic, ca un
fenomen informaional i nu substanial, pentru a nelege ntreg pericolul pe care
M l poate constitui n anumite situaii pentru organism, nu numai la doze mari, dar
posibil i la doze mici i chiar infinitezimale de substan.
Pentru c, dac se poate spune, cu o anumit certitudine, c o cretere n
anumite limite a cantitii de substan medicamentoas produce o cretere att a
intensitii efectului terapeutic ct i a incidenei i a gravitii RA, corolarul nu
este ntotdeauna valabil. Adic, o cantitate foarte mic de substan nu este o
garanie a absenei sau reducerii RA.
Exemple numeroase pot susine aceast afirmaie. Astfel, gravitatea RA de tip
alergic nu este dependent gradat crescent de doza de substan medicamentoas.
Un exemplu concludent l reprezint RA alergice foarte grave, ca ocul anafilactic,
ce pot fi declanate i de o doz foarte mic de substan medicamentoas, cauza
fiind evident de natur informaional, imunologic.
De asemenea, M cele mai toxice acioneaz asupra biologicului la dozele cele
mai mici.
Or, dac ntre gravitatea RA sau toxicitatea M i mrimea dozei de substan
(n grame sau moli) nu exist ntotdeauna un raport direct proporional, rezult c
acestea depind direct de mrimea informaiei (n bii) adus de M.
Pe de alt parte, conform legilor cauzalitii informaionale, efectul informaiei
farmacologice este dependent nu numai de calitatea i de cantitatea de semnal, ci mai
ales de semnificaia pe care o acord, mesajului decodificat, un anumit tip sau subtip
de sistem receptor, n funcie de programul i de particularitile sale. Aa se
ntmpl, de exemplu, cu efectul proagregant plachetar al acidului acetilsalicilic
(AAS), ce apare la doze mari, antiinflamatoare, i este responsabil de accidentele
trombotice cum sunt accidentele ischemice cerebrale i oculare sau infarctul
miocardic, semnalate mai ales la bolnavii cu factori de risc. Este evident c nu doza
mare de substan este cauza acestei RA a AAS, ci specificitatea informaional a
acestei doze mari de informaie pentru un anumit substrat receptor, reprezentat de
ciclooxigenaza situat n endoteliul vascular. Tot astfel se explic i efectul, n sens
opus, al AAS, asupra agregrii plachetare. Adic, efectul terapeutic antiagregant
plachetar al AAS se datoreaz specificitii informaionale a dozelor mici de AAS
pentru ciclooxigenaza din plachetele sanguine.
