Rehmannioside A inhibits the activity of CYP3A4, 2C9 and 2D6 in vitro.

To assess the effect of Rehmannioside A on CYP450s activity and to estimate its inhibitory properties.The effect of Rehmannioside A on the activity of major CYP450s in human liver microsomes (HLMs) was assessed with the corresponding substrates and marker reactions, and compared with a blank control and the respective inhibitors. Suppression of CYP3A4, 2C9 and 2D6 was assessed by the dose-dependent assay and fitted with non-competitive or competitive inhibition models.
