The major metabolites formed from most drug metabolism are detoxication products.
There are two common patterns observed:
- A drug with potent pharmacological activity is converted to a major metabolite with markedly reduced or no pharmacological activity (e.g., Pentobarbital and Hydroxypentobarbital)
- A drug is converted to a metabolite with roughly equivalent or slightly lower pharmacological activity.
