چکیده
Despite increasing recognition of potential untoward interactions between herbal products and conventional medications, a standard system for prospective assessment of these interactions remains elusive. This information gap was addressed by evaluating the drug interaction liability of the model herbal product milk thistle (Silybum marianum) with the CYP3A probe substrate midazolam. The inhibitory effects of commercially available milk thistle extracts and isolated constituents on midazolam 19-hydroxylation were screened using human liver and intestinal microsomes. Relative to vehicle, the extract silymarin and constituents silybin A, isosilybin A, isosilybin B, and silychristin at 100 mM demonstrated >50% inhibition of CYP3A activity with at least one microsomal preparation, prompting IC50 determination. The IC50s for isosilybin B and silychristin were ∼60 and 90 mM, respectively, whereas those for the remaining constituents were >100 mM. Extracts and constituents that contained the 1,4-dioxane moiety demonstrated a >1.5-fold shift in IC50 when tested as potential mechanism-based inhibitors. The semipurified extract, silibinin, and the two associated constituents (silybin A and silybin B) demonstrated mechanism-based inhibition of recombinant CYP3A4 (KI, ∼100 mM; kinact, ∼0.20 min) but not microsomal CYP3A activity. The maximum predicted increases in midazolam area under the curve using the static mechanistic equation and recombinant CYP3A4 data were 1.75-fold, which may necessitate clinical assessment. Evaluation of the interaction liability of single herbal product constituents, in addition to commercially available extracts, will enable elucidation of mechanisms underlying potential clinically significant herb-drug interactions. Application of this framework to other herbal products would permit predictions of herb-drug interactions and assist in prioritizing clinical evaluation.

متن کاملRLIP76 Gene Variants are not Associated with Drug Response in Turkish Epilepsy Patients
Approximately 30% of epileptic patients remain untreated, in spite of trials with maximum tolerable doses of more than one drug. The RalA binding protein 1 (RALBP1/RLIP76), a multifunctional, anti-apoptot-ic, multidrug transporter protein, has been proposed as being responsible for the drug resistance mechanism in epilepsy. We have investigated polymorphic differences in the coding regions and ...
متن کاملHelicity Amplitudes of the Λ(1670) and two Λ(1405) as dynamically generated resonances
We determine the helicity amplitudes A1/2 and radiative decay widths in the transition Λ(1670) → γY (Y = Λ or Σ). The Λ(1670) is treated as a dynamically generated resonance in mesonbaryon chiral dynamics. We obtain the radiative decay widths of the Λ(1670) to γΛ as 3 ± 2 keV and to γΣ as 120 ± 50 keV. Also, the Q dependence of the helicity amplitudes A1/2 is calculated. We find that the KΞ com...
