THE METABOLISM OF DRUGS.

The article discusses drug metabolism research. Drug metabolism is not limited to measuring drug absorption and determining the chemical structure of the metabolites. According to the author, there are many objectives in drug metabolism research. He discusses various aspects of drug metabolism. It is stated that the frequent ingestion of foreign chemicals in the drug form required the evolution of a biological process that was successful in preventing the accumulation of toxic substances. It is also stated that when a special mechanism is absent that can prevent the efficiency of a chemical with a low lipid solubility, the result could be different.
