Rhinacanthin-C is a major active constituent in (L.) Kurz, a plant widely used in herbal remedies. Its potential for pharmacokinetic herb-drug interaction may exist with drug transporters and drug metabolizing enzymes. This study assessed the possibility for rhinacanthin-C-mediated drug interaction by determining its inhibitory effects against major human efflux and influx drug transporters as well as various human cytochrome P450(CYP) isoforms. Rhinacanthin-C demonstrated a moderate permeability through the Caco-2 monolayers [P = 1.26 × 10 cm/s]. It significantly inhibited transport mediated by both P-glycoprotein (P-gp) (IC = 5.20 M) and breast cancer resistance protein (BCRP) (IC = 0.83 M) across Caco-2 and BCRP-overexpressing Madin-Darby canine kidney II cells (MDCKII) cells. This compound also strongly inhibited uptake mediated by organic anion-transporting polypeptide 1B1 (OATP1B1) (IC = 0.70 M) and OATP1B3 (IC = 3.95 M) in OATP1B-overexpressing HEK cells. In addition to its inhibitory effect on these drug transporters, rhinacanthin-C significantly inhibited multiple human CYP isoforms including CYP2C8 (IC = 4.56 M), 2C9 (IC = 1.52 M), 2C19 (IC = 28.40 M), and 3A4/5 (IC = 53 M for midazolam and IC = 81.20 M for testosterone), but not CYP1A2, 2A6, 2B6, 2D6, and 2E1. These results strongly support a high propensity for rhinacanthin-C as a perpetrator of clinical herb-drug interaction via inhibiting various influx and efflux drug transporters (i.e., P-gp, BCRP, OATP1B1, and OATP1B3) and CYP isoforms (i.e., CYP2C8, CYP2C9, and CYP2C19). Thus, the potential for significant pharmacokinetic herb-drug interaction should be addressed when herbal products containing rhinacanthin-C are to be used in conjunction with other prescription drugs.
新山柑素-C 是(L.) Kurz 中的主要活性成分,这种植物广泛用于草药疗法。它可能通过药物转运体和药物代谢酶对药代动力学的草药-药物相互作用产生潜在影响。本研究通过测定其对主要人外排和摄入药物转运体以及各种人细胞色素 P450(CYP)同工酶的抑制作用,评估了新山柑素-C 介导的药物相互作用的可能性。新山柑素-C 经 Caco-2 单层的渗透率中等[P = 1.26×10 cm/s]。它显著抑制了 P-糖蛋白(P-gp)(IC = 5.20 M)和乳腺癌耐药蛋白(BCRP)(IC = 0.83 M)在 Caco-2 和 BCRP 过表达的 Madin-Darby 犬肾 II 细胞(MDCKII)细胞中的转运。该化合物还强烈抑制了有机阴离子转运蛋白 1B1(OATP1B1)(IC = 0.70 M)和 OATP1B3(IC = 3.95 M)在 OATP1B 过表达的 HEK 细胞中的摄取。除了对这些药物转运体的抑制作用外,新山柑素-C 还显著抑制了多种人 CYP 同工酶,包括 CYP2C8(IC = 4.56 M)、2C9(IC = 1.52 M)、2C19(IC = 28.40 M)和 3A4/5(咪达唑仑的 IC = 53 M 和睾酮的 IC = 81.20 M),但不抑制 CYP1A2、2A6、2B6、2D6 和 2E1。这些结果强烈支持新山柑素-C 作为通过抑制各种外排和摄入药物转运体(即 P-gp、BCRP、OATP1B1 和 OATP1B3)和 CYP 同工酶(即 CYP2C8、CYP2C9 和 CYP2C19)引起临床草药-药物相互作用的高倾向。因此,当含有新山柑素-C 的草药产品与其他处方药一起使用时,应考虑到潜在的显著药代动力学草药-药物相互作用。
