Detoxification Process

Molecular classification
Other[4][9]
01

Overview

"Detoxification process" is not a single molecule, receptor, enzyme, or drug target; it is a broad physiological and sometimes clinical concept describing the removal or neutralization of toxic substances from the body, largely via hepatic Phase I (e.g., cytochrome P450) and Phase II (conjugation: glucuronidation, sulfation, glutathione conjugation, acetylation, methylation, amino acid conjugation) pathways that convert lipophilic compounds to water-soluble metabolites for excretion by bile, kidneys, and intestines, with additional usage in medicine for managing acute intoxication and withdrawal; therefore it should not be treated as a discrete therapeutic target entry[4][9][5][3][10].

Safety considerations

“Detox” diets/cleanses lack evidence and can be misleading or risky when substituting for medical care[8][6].Impairment of physiological detoxification occurs in liver or kidney failure, sometimes requiring dialysis or transplantation[4].
