A rapid and sensitive high-performance liquid chromatographic assay was developed for the quantitation of chlorzoxazone and its major metabolite 6-hydroxychlorozoxazone in plasma. These compounds, as well as the internal standard 5-fluorobenzoxazolone, were extracted from plasma (0.5 ml) using C18 solid-phase extraction columns. The extracts were analyzed on a 10-microns Waters C18 muBond-apak column with a mobile phase of acetonitrile-tetrahydrofuran-0.1 M ammonium acetate (22.5:5.5:72). The assay utilized ultraviolet detection (283 nm) which provided sensitivity and specificity sufficient to simultaneously quantify > or = 100 ng/ml chlorozoxazone and 6-hydroxychlorzoxazone in plasma. The mean correlation coefficient of the multi-level standard curves for each compound was 0.996 or greater over a concentration range of 100-3000 ng/ml. The inter-day and intra-day coefficients of variation were < 6%. This method has been used by our laboratory to provide the unattended overnight analysis of chlorozoxazone and 6-hydroxychlorzoxazone in plasma samples obtained from human study subjects.

CYP2E1 is directly or indirectly involved in the metabolism of ethanol and endogenous fatty acids but it plays a major role in the bio-activation of toxic substances that produce reactive metabolites leading to hepatotoxicity. Therefore, identification of CYP2E1 inhibitor from bioflavonoids class having useful pharmacological properties has dual benefit regarding avoidance of severe food-drug/nutraceutical-drug interaction and scope to develop a phytotherapeutics through an intended pharmacokinetic interaction.In the present study, we aimed to identify CYP2E1 inhibitor from experimental bioflavonoids which are unexplored for CYP2E1 inhibition till date using , and approaches.

Drug Metabolism and Pharmacokinetics Division, University College of Pharmaceutical Sciences, Kakatiya University, Warangal, Telangana State, 506009, India.

Purpose: Previous in vitro studies have demonstrated that quercetin inhibits CYP2E1 enzyme, but there are no available data to indicate that quercetin inhibits CYP2E1 enzyme in humans. The purpose of the present study was to assess the effect of quercetin on CYP2E1 enzyme activity in healthy subjects using chlorzoxazone (CHZ) as a CYP2E1 substrate.

Methods: An open-label, two-period, sequential study was conducted in 12 healthy subjects.

Chlorzoxazone is a probe drug to assess cytochrome P450 (CYP) 2E1 activity (phenotyping). If the pharmacokinetics of the probe drug is linear, pharmacologically ineffective doses are sufficient for the purpose of phenotyping and adverse effects can thus be avoided. For this reason, we developed and validated an assay for the ultrasensitive quantification of chlorzoxazone and 6-hydroxychlorzoxazone in human plasma.

In vitro studies have shown that the activities of cytochrome P450 (P450) enzymes may be altered after hepatic ischemia-reperfusion (IR) injury. Here, we investigated the effects of 1 h of partial ischemia, followed by 3 (IR3) or 24 (IR24) h of in vivo reperfusion, on the in vivo, isolated perfused rat liver (IPRL), and microsomal disposition of chlorzoxazone (CZX) and its cytochrome P450 2E1 (CYP2E1)-mediated metabolite, 6-hydroxychlorzoxazone (HCZX), in rats. Although IR3 caused a 30% reduction in the in vivo clearance of CZX, the area under the plasma concentration-time curve of HCZX was not affected.
