The interactions of human CYP3A4 with three selected isomer flavonoids, such as astilbin, isoastilbin and neoastilbin, were clarified using spectral analysis, molecular docking, and molecular dynamics simulation. During binding with the three flavonoids, the intrinsic fluorescence of CYP3A4 was statically quenched in static mode with nonradiative energy conversion. The fluorescence and ultraviolet/visible (UV/vis) data revealed that the three flavonoids had a moderate and stronger binding affinity with CYP3A4 due to the order of the K and K values ranging from 10 to 10  L·mol .

The inhibitory effects of engeletin on the activities of human cytochrome P450 3A4 and 2D6 (CYP3A4 and CYP2D6) were investigated by enzyme kinetics, multi-spectroscopy and molecular docking. Engeletin was found to strongly inhibit CYP3A4 and CYP2D6, with the IC of 1.32 μM and 2.

Astilbin, isoastilbin and neoastilbin are the three flavonoid isomers prevalent in Rhizoma Smilax glabra. The interactions between human cytochrome P450 2D6 (CYP2D6) and the three isomers were investigated by multiple spectroscopic coupled with molecular docking. As a result, the fluorescence intensity of CYP2D6 was quenched statically by the three isomers.
