Effects of pomegranate juice on human cytochrome P450 2C9 and tolbutamide pharmacokinetics in rats.

چکیده
In this study, we investigated whether pomegranate juice could inhibit CYP2C9 activity. The ability of pomegranate juice to inhibit the diclofenac 4'-hydroxylase activity of human CYP2C9 was examined using human liver microsomes. Pomegranate juice was shown to be a potent inhibitor of human CYP2C9. The addition of 25 microl (5% v/v) of pomegranate juice resulted in almost complete inhibition of human CYP2C9 activity. In addition, we investigated the effect of pomegranate juice on the pharmacokinetics of tolbutamide (substrate for CYP2C9) in rats. Relative to the control group, the area under the concentration-time curve was approximately 1.2-fold greater when pomegranate juice (3 ml) was injected p.o. 1 h before the p.o. administration of the tolbutamide (20 mg/kg). The elimination half-life of tolbutamide was not altered by pomegranate juice administration. These results suggest pomegranate juice ingestion inhibits the intestinal metabolism of tolbutamide without inhibiting the hepatic metabolism in rats. Thus, we discovered that pomegranate juice inhibited human CYP2C9 activity and furthermore increased tolbutamide bioavailability in rats.

The potential for interaction of tolbutamide with pomegranate juice against diabetic induced complications in rats
Background Pomegranate can inhibit cytochrome P450 (CYP) 2C9 activity, which is largely responsible for the metabolism of sulfonylureas. The present study was undertaken to evaluate the pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic interaction of pomegranate and tolbutamide (TOL) against diabetic-induced complications. Methods Diabetes was induced via administration of alloxan (150 mg/kg, intraperitone...
متن کاملEffects of pomegranate juice on human cytochrome p450 3A (CYP3A) and carbamazepine pharmacokinetics in rats.
In this study, we investigated whether components of pomegranate could inhibit CYP3A-mediated drug metabolism. The ability of pomegranate to inhibit the carbamazepine 10,11-epoxidase activity of CYP3A was examined using human liver microsomes, and pomegranate juice was shown to be a potent inhibitor of human CYP3A. Addition of 25 microl (5.0% v/v) of pomegranate juice resulted in almost complet...
متن کاملInhibitory effects of fruit juices on cytochrome P450 2C9 activity in vitro.
There is limited information on the effect of fruits on human cytochrome P450 (CYP) 2C9 activity. The objective of this study was to determine the effect of fruit juice on CYP2C9-mediated drug metabolism. Nine citrus fruits and eight tropical fruits were chosen. We investigated effects of the fruits on diclofenac 4'-hydroxylation and tolbutamide hydroxylation by human liver microsomes. Among th...
متن کاملEvaluation of CYP2C9 activity in rats: use of tolbutamide alone and in combined with bupropion
A “cocktail”of several probe drugs is often used to evaluate metabolic activity of multiple cytochrome P450 enzymes in one session. Some interactions among probe drugs can appear and may impact the rate of biotransformation of other ones. Our presented work was to aim on the influence of bupropion on rat cytochrome P450-mediated metabolism of tolbutamide. The biotransformation rates of tolbutam...
