College of Pharmacy Posters

Background:

• Methemoglobin (MetHb) is formed when the iron moiety of hemoglobin (Hgb) is oxidized from ferrous (Fe²⁺) to ferric (Fe³⁺) state à impaired O₂ delivery to tissues
• Acetaminophen Metabolism:

~90% is metabolized in liver via sulfation and glucuronidation

remainder is metabolized via CYP450 to a toxic oxidizing agent, N-acetyl-p-benzoquinone imine (NAPQI), which is detoxified via glutathione¹

• Acute Acetaminophen Overdose:

saturates sulfation and glucuronidation pathways

depletes glutathione stores

leads to excess NAPQI à oxidative stress à methemoglobinemia¹

• MetHb Reduction Pathway:

cytochrome b5 reductase removes 95% to 99% of endogenous MetHb

nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate …
