Drug metabolism is the metabolic breakdown of drugs by living organisms, usually through specialized enzymatic systems. More generally, xenobiotic metabolism is the set of metabolic pathways that modify the chemical structure of xenobiotics, which are organic compounds that are foreign to an organism's normal biochemistry, such as any drug, pollutant, or poison. These pathways are a form of biotransformation that are present in all major groups of organisms, a fact which may allude to an ancient origin. These reactions often act to detoxify poisonous compounds. The study of drug metabolism is one of the tenets of pharmacokinetics (PK) as metabolism (M), the fourth stage of LADME, involves the enzymatic biotransformation and non-enzymatic biotransformation of a drug, thereby leading to the fifth stage, excretion (E).
