Patel* and Dr. Dhrubo Jyoti Sen Department of Pharmaceutical Chemistry, Shri Sarvajanik Pharmacy College, Gujarat Technological University, Arvind Baug, Mehsana-384001, Gujarat, India Date of Receipt- 20/07/2013 ABSTRACT Date of Revision- 22/07/2013 Date of Acceptance- 24/07/2013 A xenobiotic is a chemical which is found in an organism but which is not normally produced or expected to be present in it. It can also cover substances which are present in much higher concentrations than are usual. Specifically, drugs such as antibiotics are xenobiotics in humans because the human body does not produce them itself, nor are they part of a normal diet. Natural compounds can also become xenobiotics if they are taken up by another organism, such as the uptake of natural human hormones by fish found downstream of sewage treatment plant outfalls, or the chemical defenses produced by some organisms as protection against predators. Xenobiotic metabolism is the set of metabolic pathways that modify the chemical structure of xenobiotics. In general, drugs are metabolized more Address for slowly in fetal, neonatal and elderly humans and animals than in Correspondence adults. The body removes xenobiotics by xenobiotic metabolism. Department of This consists of the deactivation and the excretion of xenobiotics and Pharmaceutical happens mostly in the liver. Excretion routes are urine, feces, breath, Chemistry, Shri and sweat.
