Identification
Common NameOmeprazole
ClassSmall Molecule
DescriptionOmeprazole is a highly effective inhibitor of gastric acid secretion used in the therapy of stomach ulcers, dyspepsia, peptic ulcer disease , gastroesophageal reflux disease and Zollinger-Ellison syndrome. The drug inhibits the H(+)-K(+)-ATPase (H(+)-K(+)-exchanging ATPase) in the proton pump of Gastric Parietal Cells.--Pubchem. Omeprazole is one of the most widely prescribed drugs internationally and is available over the counter in some countries.

Toxicity Profile
Route of ExposureThe delayed-release capsule are enteric-coated (as omeprazole is acid-labile) so the absorption of omprazole begins once the granules leave the stomach. Absorption is rapid. Peak plasma levels occur within 0.5 - 3.5 hours. The absolute bioavailability (compared with intravenous administration) of the delayed-release capsule is 30-40% at doses of 20 - 40 mg, due to presystemic metabolism. This value increases slightly when given repeatedly. Based on a relative bioavailability study, the AUC and Cmax of PRILOSEC (omeprazole magnesium) for Delayed-Release Oral Suspension were 87% and 88% of those for PRILOSEC Delayed-Release Capsules, respectively. Interestingly, when the 40 mg delayed release capsule is given with or without applesauce, it is bioequivalent. However, when the 20 mg delayed release capsule is given with the same conditions, it is not bioequivalent. When the same capsule is given to the elderly, bioavailability increases. Omeprazole was 76% bioavailable.
Mechanism of ToxicityOmeprazole is a proton pump inhibitor that suppresses gastric acid secretion by specific inhibition of the H+/K+-ATPase in the gastric parietal cell. By acting specifically on the proton pump, omeprazole blocks the final step in acid production, thus reducing gastric acidity.
MetabolismHepatic. Omeprazole is extensively metabolized by the cytochrome P450 (CYP) enzyme system. The two primary CYP isozymes involved are CYP2C19 and CYP3A4. Metabolism is stereoselective in which the S-isomer is converted to 5'O-desmethylomeprazole via CYP2C19. CYP3A4 converts the S-isomer to 3-hydroxyomeprazole. The R-isomer is converted to 5-hydroxyomeprazole by CYP2C19. CYP3A4 converts the R-isomer to any four different metabolites: 5-hydroxyomeprazole (5-OH OME), omeprazole sulfone (OME sulfone), 5'-O-desmethylomeprazole (5'-desmethyl OME), and 3-hydroxyomeprazole (3-OH OME). Route of Elimination: Urinary excretion is a primary route of excretion of omeprazole metabolites. Little, if any unchanged drug was excreted in the urine. The majority of the dose (about 77%) was eliminated in urine as at least six metabolites. Two were identified as hydroxyomeprazole and the corresponding carboxylic acid. The remainder of the dose was recovered in the feces. Half Life: 0.5-1 hour (healthy subjects, delayed-release capsule); 3 hours (hepatic impairment)

General Function:
Transcription regulatory region dna binding
Specific Function:
Ligand-activated transcriptional activator. Binds to the XRE promoter region of genes it activates. Activates the expression of multiple phase I and II xenobiotic chemical metabolizing enzyme genes (such as the CYP1A1 gene). Mediates biochemical and toxic effects of halogenated aromatic hydrocarbons. Involved in cell-cycle regulation. Likely to play an important role in the development and maturation of many tissues. Regulates the circadian clock by inhibiting the basal and circadian expression of the core circadian component PER1. Inhibits PER1 by repressing the CLOCK-ARNTL/BMAL1 heterodimer mediated transcriptional activation of PER1.

Specific Function:
Cytochromes P450 are a group of heme-thiolate monooxygenases. In liver microsomes, this enzyme is involved in an NADPH-dependent electron transport pathway. It performs a variety of oxidation reactions (e.g. caffeine 8-oxidation, omeprazole sulphoxidation, midazolam 1'-hydroxylation and midazolam 4-hydroxylation) of structurally unrelated compounds, including steroids, fatty acids, and xenobiotics. Acts as a 1,8-cineole 2-exo-monooxygenase. The enzyme also hydroxylates etoposide (PubMed:11159812). Catalyzes 4-beta-hydroxylation of cholesterol. May catalyze 25-hydroxylation of cholesterol in vitro (PubMed:21576599).
