Dihydroxybergamottin Caproate as a Potent and Stable CYP3A4 Inhibitor
摘要:
We investigated the inhibitory activity of the furanocoumarin derivatives from grapefruit juice to the drug metabolizing enzyme, cytochrome P450 (CYP) 3A4. Although two known furanocoumarin dimers GF-I-1 (1) and GF-I-4 (2) showed potent CYP3A4 inhibition with IC50 value of 0.07 muM. a semi-synthetic dihydroxybergamottin caproate (11), which was more stable and more simple than the dimers. exhibited comparable activity against CYP3A4.
