Analysis of inhibition kinetics of three beverage ingredients, bergamottin, dihydroxybergamottin and resveratrol, on CYP2C9 activity.

Some grapefruit juice (GFJ) ingredients and resveratrol, a fruit-derived phytoalexin, are known to inhibit cytochrome P450 (CYP) 2C9. However, their inhibition modes and detailed inhibition kinetics remain undetermined. This study aimed to investigate the inhibitory effects of two GFJ ingredients, bergamottin (BG) and dihydroxybergamottin (DHB), and resveratrol on CYP2C9 activity in vitro.
