Dave has a particularly efficient CYP2D6 enzyme system in hi

Dave has a particularly efficient CYP2D6 enzyme system in his liver. Based on this information one would predict that he would:

A. Be efficient at metabolizing most psychoactive medications

B. Have trouble with the biotransformation of many drugs

C. not be particularly efficient at metabolizing psychoactive medications

D. be efficient at metabolizing some psychoactive medications more than others

Solution

It is a xenobiotics metabolizing enzyme system of human liver.

The enzyme CYP2D6 is involved in the metabolism of several drugs.An increased activity of this enzyme implicates that more drugs are being metabolized. But this is also true that it can degrade 25 % of the drugs from our body. So correct option B.
