The paper summarizes the interactions between luteolin (glucosides) and drug-metabolizing enzyme from the literature of recent years and our research work. The metabolism of luteolin is chiefly mediated by phase II metabolic enzyme. Its glucosides are firstly hydrolyzed into aglycone in intestinal tract, and then absorbed and metabolized.

Objective: To observe the metabolism-based interaction of diphenytriazol and flavone compounds.
Methods: Flavone compounds kaempferol, isoharmnten and Elsholtzia blanda benth extract were chosen as the substrate of glucuronidation in the phase II metabolism. The metabolism was investigated in different rat liver microsome incubates pretreated with beta-naphthoflavone (BNF), diphenytriazol and tea oil (control).
