Definition of Toxicological Chemistry and Poison. Factors that influence the toxicity of substances. Xenobiotic metabolism: Phase I reactions and Phase II reactions; mechanism of formation of reactive metabolites: electrophilous, nucleophile and radical species. Definition of toxico-phorus / structural alert. Factors influencing biotransformation (enzymatic inhibition of CYP-450 and enzymatic induction). Gene polymorphism.
