20. A 45-year-old female shop assistant is treated for heartburn with omeprazole. She notes that
the effect of a dose of omeprazole lasts much longer than that of a dose of the antacid drug
calcium carbonate she had previously taken. The active metabolite of omeprazole binds
covalently and irreversibly to a molecular structure involved in releasing protons into the gastric
juice. Drugs that modify their target structures through this mechanism are called
suicide substrates.
orphan drugs.
protein drugs.
