The method is based on a generic solid-phase extraction procedure, using three sorbent phases in two cartridges that are connected in series, hence covering a wide range of polarities, followed by liquid chromatography coupled to high-resolution mass spectrometry. The acquisition was performed in the full-scan and data-dependent modes while working under positive and negative ionisation conditions. This method was applied in order to assess the natural toxins in the Ter River water reservoirs, which are used to produce drinking water for Barcelona city (Spain). The study was carried out during a period of seven months, covering the expected prior, during, and post-peak blooming periods of the natural toxins. Fifty-three (53) compounds were tentatively identified, and nine of these were confirmed and quantified. Phytotoxins were identified as the most frequent group of natural toxins in the water, particularly the alkaloids group. -

Chemical agents that induce cross-links are particularly effective at inactivating rapidly dividing cells and, because of this, have been used to treat hyperproliferative skin disorders such as psoriasis as well as a variety of cancers. However, evidence for the removal of cross- links from DNA as well as resistance to cross-link-based chemotherapy suggests the existence of a cellular repair mechanism. -
The Health Benefits of Grapefruit Furanocoumarins1 Yu Wang and Laura Reuss2
FSHN18-8 The Health Benefits of Grapefruit Furanocoumarins1 Yu Wang and Laura Reuss2 Although not recommended for use with certain medica- tions, grapefruits are known for their numerous health benefits. Both these effects come from, in part, natural chemicals called furanocoumarins. Although these biologically active plant compounds, or phytochemicals, are beneficial to overall health, some compounds have been shown to interact with numerous medications, causing adverse effects known as the “grapefruit juice effect.” Furanocoumarins and flavanones are the major compounds responsible in these drug interactions. Several studies have reported that furanocoumarins present in grapefruit affect absorption of some medications by interfering with a cer- tain liver and intestinal enzyme (Guo et al. 2000). However, numerous studies have shown that compounds in citrus fruits, including furanocoumarins, reduce inflammation and stop cancer cells from multiplying. Furthermore, they Figure 1.

Distribution of Furanocoumarins in Grapefruit Juice Fractions
5158 J. Agric. Food Chem. 2005, 53, 5158−5163 Distribution of Furanocoumarins in Grapefruit Juice Fractions JOHN A. MANTHEY* AND BEÄ LA S. BUSLIG Citrus and Subtropical Products Laboratory, Agricultural Research Service, U.S. Department of Agriculture, 600 Avenue S N.W., Winter Haven, Florida 33881 The reported effects of grapefruit (Citrus paradisi Macf.) juice on oral bioavailability of certain prescription drugs have led to the discovery of the inhibition by compounds in grapefruit of cytochrome P450 3A4 (CYP3A4) in the intestinal wall and liver. Recent evidence indicates that furanocoumarins related to bergamottin [5-[(3′,7′-dimethyl-2′,6′-octadienyl)oxy]psoralen] are primarily responsible for the grapefruit effect, yet the exact mechanisms and roles that specific compounds play in this effect are still uncertain. In the current experiments freshly extracted grapefruit juice was separated into four fractions, consisting of raw finished juice (∼5% fine pulp), centrifugal retentate (∼35% fine pulp), centrifuged supernatant (<1% pulp), and coarse finisher pulp. The relative concentrations of furanocoumarins in each of these grapefruit juice fractions were measured by HPLC-MS. These measurements showed that the centrifugal retentate had the highest furanocoumarin content, containing 892 ppm of bergamottin, 628 ppm of 6′,7′-dihydroxybergamottin, 116 ppm of 6′,7′- epoxybergamottin, 105 ppm of 7-geranyloxycoumarin, and ∼467 ppm of furanocoumarin dimers. These high furanocoumarin concentrations make this fraction a useful starting material for preparative- scale isolations of these compounds. MS analysis of this furanocoumarin-enriched fraction provided evidence of additional furanocoumarins in grapefruit juice that remain to be fully characterized and evaluated for their roles in the grapefruit-drug interactions. -
White and Colored Grapefruit Juice Produce Similar Pharmacokinetic Interactions
ORIGINAL ARTICLES Clinical Pharmaceutics Laboratory, Department of Pharmaceutics, Meiji Pharmaceutical University, Tokyo, Japan White and colored grapefruit juice produce similar pharmacokinetic interactions Y. Uesawa, M. Abe, K. Mohri Received March 4, 2008, accepted March 28, 2008 Dr. Yoshihiro Uesawa, Clinical Pharmaceutics Laboratory, Department of Pharmaceutics, Meiji Pharmaceutical University, 2-522-1 Noshio, Kiyose, Tokyo 204-8588, Japan [email protected] Pharmazie 63: 598–600 (2008) doi: 10.1691/ph.2008.8550 Colored (pink and red) grapefruit pulp contains lower amounts of the furanocoumarin derivatives that cause pharmacokinetic interactions than white grapefruit pulp. However, few studies have ex- amined interactions with colored juice products. Therefore, we examined the potential interactions of both white and colored grapefruit products by measuring the concentrations of furanocoumarin derivatives and inhibition of the metabolizing cytochrome P450 (CYP) 3A enzymes, the target of the furanocoumarins. We measured concentrations of three major furanocoumarin derivatives, ber- gaptol, bergamottin, and 60,70-dihydroxybergamottin, with high-performance liquid chromatography in 21 brands of grapefruit juice sold in Japan, including 14 white and 7 colored brands. The mean difference in bergaptol, bergamottin, and 60,70-dihydroxybergamottin concentrations in white grape- fruit juice samples was 1.59, 0.902, and 1.03 times, respectively, the amounts in colored samples. White samples inhibited CYP3A-mediated testosterone-6b oxidation in human liver microsomes by 1.04 and 0.922 times (whole juice and furanocoumarin, respectively) the inhibition by colored juice. Thus, colored grapefruit juice may produce drug interactions at the same rate as white grapefruit juice. 1. Introduction 2. Investigations, results and discussion 2.1. -
Diversification of Furanocoumarin-Metabolizing Cytochrome P450 Monooxygenases in Two Papilionids: Specificity and Substrate Encounter Rate

Subsequent reciprocal adaptive thought to result from antagonistic interactions between plants selection between plants and herbivorous animals was associated and their herbivorous enemies. However, little direct evidence with the rapid diversification of P450s initiating 400 million years demonstrates the relationship between selection by plant toxins ago, concomitant with the colonization of terrestrial habitats by and adaptive changes in herbivore P450s. Here we show that the plants and animals. Plants have used P450s to produce defense furanocoumarin-metabolic activity of CYP6B proteins in two spe- compounds (allelochemicals), and herbivorous animals, includ- cies of swallowtail caterpillars is associated with the probability of ing insects, have used P450s to metabolize the toxins produced encountering host plant furanocoumarins.

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture J Sci Food Agric 87:2152–2163 (2007) Analysis of furanocoumarins in vegetables (Apiaceae) and citrus fruits (Rutaceae) Radek Peroutka, Veraˇ Schulzova,´ ∗ Petr Botek and Jana Hajslovˇ a´ Institute of Chemical Technology, Department of Food Chemistry and Analysis, Technicka´ 3, 166 28 Prague 6, Czech Republic Abstract: Several alternative approaches applicable for the analysis of furanocoumarins, toxic components occurring in some fruits and vegetables representing both Apiaceae and Rutaceae families, were tested in our study. Limits of detection (LODs) for angelicin, psoralen, bergapten, xanthotoxin, trioxsalen, isopimpinellin, sphondin, pimpinellin and isobergapten obtained by GC/MS (SIM) were in the range 0.01–0.08 µgg−1.Slightly higher LODs (0.02–0.20 µgg−1) were achieved by LC/MS–MS. The latter is the only alternative for analysis of bergamottin (LOD = 0.01 µgg−1) in citrus fruits because this furanocoumarin is unstable under GC conditions. Regardless of the determination step used, the repeatability of the measurements (expressed as RSD) did not exceed 10%. As shown in our study the levels of furanocoumarins in celery, celeriac, parsnip, carrot, lemon and other foods obtained at a retail market varied over a wide range; the highest contents were determined in parsnip, while the levels of these toxins in carrots and citrus pulps were relatively low. 2007 Society of Chemical Industry Keywords: furanocoumarins; GC/MS; LC/MS–MS; fruits; vegetables INTRODUCTION and fruit of some of these, e.g. figs, representing the Furanocoumarins are toxic secondary metabolites that last family, is also used for human consumption. -

Effects on Cyclosporine Disposition, Enterocyte CYP3A4, and P-Glycoprotein
PHARMACOKINETICS AND DRUG DISPOSITION 6′,7′-Dihydroxybergamottin in grapefruit juice and Seville orange juice: Effects on cyclosporine disposition, enterocyte CYP3A4, and P-glycoprotein Background: 6′,7′-Dihydroxybergamottin is a furanocoumarin that inhibits CYP3A4 and is found in grape- fruit juice and Seville orange juice. Grapefruit juice increases the oral bioavailability of many CYP3A4 substrates, including cyclosporine (INN, ciclosporin), but intestinal P-glycoprotein may be a more impor- tant determinant of cyclosporine availability. Objectives: To evaluate the contribution of 6′,7′-dihydroxybergamottin to the effects of grapefruit juice on cyclosporine disposition and to assess the role of CYP3A4 versus P-glycoprotein in this interaction. Methods: The disposition of oral cyclosporine was compared in healthy subjects after ingestion of water, grapefruit juice, and Seville orange juice. Enterocyte concentrations of CYP3A4 were measured in 2 indi- viduals before and after treatment with Seville orange juice. The effect of 6′,7′-dihydroxybergamottin on P-glycoprotein was assessed in vitro. Results: Area under the whole blood concentration–time curve and peak concentration of cyclosporine were increased by 55% and 35%, respectively, with grapefruit juice (P < .05). Seville orange juice had no influence on cyclosporine disposition but reduced enterocyte concentrations of CYP3A4 by an average of 40%. 6′,7′-Dihydroxybergamottin did not inhibit P-glycoprotein at concentrations up to 50 µmol/L. Conclusions: 6′,7′-Dihydroxybergamottin is not responsible for the effects of grapefruit juice on cyclosporine. Because the interaction did not occur with Seville orange juice despite reduced enterocyte concentrations of CYP3A4, inhibition of P-glycoprotein activity by other compounds in grapefruit juice may be responsi- ble.
