Extracts, subfractions, isolated anthocyanins and procyanidins, and two phenolic acids from aronia [Aronia melanocarpa] were investigated for their CYP3A4 inhibitory effects, using midazolam as the probe substrate and recombinant insect cell microsomes expressing CYP3A4 as the enzyme source. Procyanidin B5 was a considerably stronger CYP3A4 inhibitor in vitro than the isomeric procyanidin B2 and comparable to bergamottin, a known CYP3A4 inhibitor from grapefruit juice. The inhibitory activity of proanthocyanidin-containing fractions was correlated to the degree of polymerization. Among the anthocyanins, cyanidin 3-arabinoside showed stronger CYP3A4 inhibition than cyanidin 3-galactoside and cyanidin 3-glucoside. Thus, the ability to inhibit CYP3A4 in vitro seems to be influenced by the sugar unit linked to the anthocyanidin.

Guvermectin is a new chemical isolated from the microbial metabolites and is registered as a novel plant growth regulator. However, the biotransformation behavior and toxicity of guvermectin to mammals remain unclear and have unknown implications for consumers or occupationally exposed persons. Therefore, we investigated the biotransformation of guvermectin in vivo and in vitro, its effects on CYP450s activities, and its oral toxicity in rats.

Objective: This study aimed to investigate the effects of clarithromycin and ketoconazole on the pharmacokinetic properties of tacrolimus in different CYP3A4 genotype recombinant metabolic enzyme systems, so as to understand the drug interactions and their mechanisms further.
Method: The experiment was divided into three groups: a blank control group, CYP3A4*1 group and CYP3A4*18 recombinant enzyme group. Each group was added with tacrolimus (FK506) of a series of concentrations.
Mechanism Underlying Conflicting Drug-Drug Interaction Between Aprepitant and Voriconazole via Cytochrome P450 3A4-Mediated Metabolism.

Background: Voriconazole is an antifungal drug for which therapeutic monitoring is recommended to prevent side effects. Temporary administration of the antiemetic drug fosaprepitant remarkably decreases the plasma concentration of voriconazole from the therapeutic range. The ratio of the major metabolite voriconazole -oxide to voriconazole exceeded that at any other time for a patient who started chemotherapy during voriconazole therapy.

Background: Individual assessment of CYP enzyme activities can be challenging. Recently, the potato alkaloid solanidine was suggested as a biomarker for CYP2D6 activity. Here, we aimed to characterize the sensitivity and specificity of solanidine as a CYP2D6 biomarker among Finnish volunteers with known CYP2D6 genotypes.

The metabolic transformation of aflatoxin B (AFB) in pigs remains understudied, presenting a gap in our toxicological understanding compared with extensive human-based research. Here, we found that the main products of AFB in porcine liver microsomes (PLMs) were AFB-8,9-epoxide (AFBO), the generation of which correlated strongly with the protein levels and activities of cytochrome P450 (CYP)3A and CYP2A. In addition, we found that porcine CYP2A19 can transform AFB into AFBO, and its metabolic activity was stronger than the other CYPs we have reported, including CYP1A2, CYP3A29, and CYP3A46.
