Context: Notoginsenoside R1 (NGR1) is the main component with cardiovascular activity in Panax notoginseng (Burk.) F. H. Chen, an herbal medicine that is widely used to enhance blood circulation and dissipate blood stasis.
Objective: The objective of this study is to investigate NGR1's effects on CYP1A2, CYP2C11, CYP2D1, and CYP3A1/2 activities in rats in vivo through the use of the Cytochrome P450 (CYP450) probe drugs.
Materials And Methods: After pretreatment with NGR1 or physiological saline, the rats were administered intraperitoneally with a mixture solution of cocktail probe drugs containing caffeine (10 mg/kg), tolbutamide (15 mg/kg), metoprolol (20 mg/kg), and dapsone (10 mg/kg). The bloods were then collected at a set of time-points for the ultra-performance liquid chromatography/tandem mass spectrometry (UPLC-MS/MS) analysis.
Results: NGR1 was shown to exhibit an inhibitory effect on CYP1A2 by increased caffeine Cmax (43.13%, p < 0.01) and AUC0 - ∞ (40.57%, p < 0.01), and decreased CL/F (62.16%, p < 0.01) in the NGR1-treated group compared with those of the control group, but no significant changes in pharmacokinetic parameters of tolbutamide, metoprolol, and dapsone were observed between the two groups, indicating that NGR1 had no effects on rat CYP2C11, CYP2D1, and CYP3A1/2.
Discussion And Conclusion: When NGR1 is co-administered with drugs that are metabolized by CYP1A2, the pertinent potential herb-drug interactions should be monitored.

Sodium dehydroacetate (DHA-Na), a widely used preservative, can induce sex-differentiated coagulation disorders primarily resulting from its metabolism. However, the underlying mechanisms remain poorly understood. Here, we identified several Cytochrome P450 (CYP450) sub-enzymes involved in sex differences related to DHA-Na metabolism, along with two related DHA-Na metabolites.

Introduction: Macranthoidin B (MB) is a primary active component of In Chinese veterinary clinics, is frequently used in combination with florfenicol to prevent and treat infections in livestock and poultry. However, potential interactions between and florfenicol remain unclear. To systematically study these interactions, it is crucial to investigate the individual phytochemicals within .

In the process of the drug development, studies on the cytochrome P450 (CYP) profiles after its administration provided fundamental information regarding drug interactions with concomitantly administered drugs. Here, we evaluated the influence of the administration of H12-(ADP)-liposomes, a platelet substitute, on the mRNA and protein expression, and metabolic activity of CYPs, with focus on the CYP1A2, CYP2C11 and CYP3A2, in rat liver.At 24 h after administering saline or H12-(ADP)-liposomes (10 mg of lipids/kg), a quantitative RT-PCR and western blot analysis revealed that the mRNA and proteins expression of all of the target hepatic CYP isoforms were not different between the saline and H12-(ADP)-liposome groups.

Human pregnane X receptor (PXR) is critical for regulating the expression of key drug-metabolizing enzymes such as CYP3A and CYP2C. Our recent study revealed that treatment with rodent-specific PXR agonist pregnenolone-16α-carbonitrile (PCN) significantly induced hepatomegaly and promoted liver regeneration after two-thirds partial hepatectomy (PHx) in mice. However, it remains unclear whether PXR activation induces hepatomegaly and liver regeneration and simultaneously promotes metabolic function of the liver.

Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is one of the most common liver diseases, which can cause serious complications and gradually increase the mortality rate. However, the effects of NAFLD on drug-metabolizing enzymes and transporters remain unclear, which may cause some confusion regarding patient medication. In this study, a NAFLD rat model was constructed by feeding rats with methionine and choline deficiency diets for 6 weeks, and the mRNA and protein levels of drug-metabolizing enzymes and transporter were analyzed by real-time fluorescent quantitative PCR and Western blot, respectively.
