However, there are no reports of the inhibitory effect of AM-2201 on human cytochrome P450 (CYP) or uridine 5′-diphospho-glucuronosyltransferase (UGT) enzymes. We evaluated the inhibitory effect of AM-2201 on the activities of eight major human CYPs (1A2, 2A6, 2B6, 2C8, 2C9, 2C19, 2D6, and 3A4) and six major human UGTs (1A1, 1A3, 1A4, 1A6, 1A9, and 2B7) enzymes in pooled human liver microsomes using liquid chromatography–tandem mass spectrometry to investigate drug interaction potentials of AM-2201. AM-2201 potently inhibited CYP2C9-catalyzed diclofenac 4′-hydroxylation, CYP3A4-catalyzed midazolam 1′-hydroxylation, UGT1A3-catalyzed chenodeoxycholic acid 24-acyl-glucuronidation, and UGT2B7-catalyzed naloxone 3-glucuronidation with IC50 values of 3.9, 4.0, 4.3, and 10.0 µM, respectively, and showed mechanism-based inhibition of CYP2C8-catalyzed amodiaquine N-deethylation with a Ki value of 2.1 µM.

  • The Influence of Bile Acids Homeostasis by Cryptotanshinone-Containing Herbs
    The influence of bile acids homeostasis by cryptotanshinone-containing herbs Chengcheng Gao, Tianheng Ma, Liqun Pang, Rui Xie* Department of Gastroenterology, Huai’an First People’s Hospital, Nanjing Medical University, 6 Beijing Road West, Huai’an, Jiangsu 223300, P. R. China Abstract Background: Herbs might affect the homeostasis of bile acids through influence of multiple metabolic pathways of bile acids. Objective: To investigate the inhibition of cryptotanshinone towards the glucuronidation of LCA, trying to indicate the possible influence of cryptotanshinone-containing herbs towards the homeostasis of bile acids. Methods: The LCA-3-glucuronidation and LCA-24-glucuronidation reaction was monitored by LC-MS. Results: Initial screening showed that 100 μM of cryptotanshinone inhibited LCA-24-glucuronidation and LCA-3-glucuro- nidation reaction activity by 82.6% and 79.1%, respectively. This kind of inhibition behaviour exerted cryptotanshinone concentrations-dependent and LCA concentrations-independent inhibition behaviour. Conclusion: All these data indicated the possibility of cryptotanshinone’s influence towards bile acids metabolism and homeostasis of bile acids. Keywords: herbs, lithocholic acid (LCA), homeostasis African Health Sciences 2014;14(1): 206-210 http://dx.doi.org/10.4314/ahs.v14i1.32 Introduction X receptor (PXR) mediated-transcription regulation of Bile acids, initiated by CYP7A1-catalyzed cholesterol cytochrome 3A which has been regarded as the most oxidation in liver, exert an important role in the solubi- important enzyme involved in the metabolism of LCA lization, absorption, and transportation of dietary lipids 6. in the intestine1.
