Impact of Pomegranate Juice on the Pharmacokinetics of CYP3A4- and CYP2C9-Mediated Drugs Metabolism: A Preclinical and Clinical Review. Molecules 2023; 28:molecules28052117. [PMID: 36903363 PMCID: PMC10003857 DOI: 10.3390/molecules28052117] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/14/2023] [Revised: 02/16/2023] [Accepted: 02/17/2023] [Indexed: 03/02/2023] Open
Abstract
The Punica granatum L. (pomegranate) fruit juice contains large amounts of polyphenols, mainly tannins such as ellagitannin, punicalagin, and punicalin, and flavonoids such as anthocyanins, flavan-3-ols, and flavonols. These constituents have high antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, anti-diabetic, anti-obesity, and anticancer activities. Because of these activities, many patients may consume pomegranate juice (PJ) with or without their doctor's knowledge. This may raise any significant medication errors or benefits because of food-drug interactions that modulate the drug's pharmacokinetics or pharmacodynamics. It has been shown that some drugs exhibited no interaction with pomegranate, such as theophylline. On the other hand, observational studies reported that PJ prolonged the pharmacodynamics of warfarin and sildenafil. Furthermore, since it has been shown that pomegranate constituents inhibit cytochrome P450 (CYP450) activities such as CYP3A4 and CYP2C9, PJ may affect intestinal and liver metabolism of CYP3A4 and CYP2C9-mediated drugs. This review summarizes the preclinical and clinical studies that investigated the impact of oral PJ administration on the pharmacokinetics of drugs that are metabolized by CYP3A4 and CYP2C9. Thus, it will serve as a future road map for researchers and policymakers in the fields of drug-herb, drug-food and drug-beverage interactions. Preclinical studies revealed that prolonged administration of PJ increased the absorption, and therefore the bioavailability, of buspirone, nitrendipine, metronidazole, saquinavir, and sildenafil via reducing the intestinal CYP3A4 and CYP2C9. On the other hand, clinical studies are limited to a single dose of PJ administration that needs to be protocoled with prolonged administration to observe a significant interaction.

Abstract
Despite the rich armamentarium of available drugs against different forms of cardiovascular disease (CVD), major challenges persist in their safe and effective use. These include high rates of adverse drug reactions, increased heterogeneity in patient responses, suboptimal drug efficacy, and in some cases limited compliance. Dietary elements (including food, beverages, and supplements) can modulate drug absorption, distribution, metabolism, excretion, and action, with significant implications for drug efficacy and safety. Genetic variation can further modulate the response to diet, to a drug, and to the interaction of the two. These interactions represent a largely unexplored territory that holds considerable promise in the field of personalized medicine in CVD. Herein, we highlight examples of clinically relevant drug–nutrient–genome interactions, map the challenges faced to date, and discuss their future perspectives in personalized cardiovascular healthcare in light of the rapid technological advances.

Abstract
The presence of hypertension among the population with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) has become a new threat to the health and well-being of people living with this disease, in particular, among those who received antiretroviral therapy. The estimated prevalence of high blood pressure in HIV-infected patients is significantly higher than the rate observed in HIV-uninfected subjects. The approach to the HIV-positive patient requires the assessment of individual cardiovascular risk and its consideration when designing the individualized target. On the other hand, the numerous pharmacological interactions of antiretroviral (ARV) drugs are essential elements to take into account. Serum levels of any kind of antihypertensive drugs may be influenced by the coadministration of protease inhibitors, non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor, or other antiretroviral. Similarly, plasma concentrations of antiretroviral drugs can be increased by the concomitant use of calcium channel blockers or diuretics. In this regard, the treatment of high blood pressure in HIV patients should be preferentially based on ACE inhibitors or thiazide/thiazide-like diuretics or their combination.

[PMID: 34082142 DOI: 10.1016/j.jpba.2021.114179] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/21/2021] [Revised: 05/23/2021] [Accepted: 05/25/2021] [Indexed: 11/28/2022]
Abstract
This study was designed to evaluate the effect of fresh pomegranate (Punica granatum L.) juice on the pharmacokinetic profile of artemether in healthy volunteers. A randomized, open-label, crossover study was conducted on healthy subjects (n = 26). Each volunteer received 250 mL of fresh pomegranate juice twice daily for 2 weeks. On day 14, they were administered a single oral dose of artemether (80 mg) with either water or 250 mL of pomegranate juice. Thirteen blood samples were collected up to 12 h and 6 electrocardiograms were recorded. Plasma concentrations of artemether and its metabolite dihydroartemisinin were analyzed by a noncompartmental method using LC-MS/MS. The lower limit of detection (LLOD) and lower limit of quantification (LLOQ) for artemether were estimated as 0.3 and 0.8 ng/mL, respectively, while for dihydroartemisinin it was 0.2 and 0.6 ng/mL, respectively. The pharmacokinetic parameters of artemether and dihydroartemisinin were not significantly altered when co-administered with the fresh pomegranate juice. AUC (0-∞) was slightly increased from 742 to 859 ng/mL for artemether [geometric mean ratio: 1.14 (95 % CI, 1.08,1.18); P = 0.45] and from 699 to 818 ng/mL for dihydroartemisinin [geometric mean ratio: 1.15 (95 % CI, 1.09, 1.15); P = 0.4]. Difference in Cmax for artemether was also statistically non-significant [173 vs 195 ng/mL; geometric mean ratio: 1.09 (95 % CI, 0.91, 1.15); P = 0.61]. Likewise, elimination half-life (t1/2) for both artemether and dihydroartemisinin remained unchanged (P = 0.43 and 0.31, respectively). In addition, there was no significant difference in tmax for artemether (P = 0.66) and its metabolite (P = 0.65). In conclusion, findings of the present study demonstrated that the administration of pomegranate juice had no significant effect on the pharmacokinetic profile of artemether.

[PMID: 31924158 PMCID: PMC7579232 DOI: 10.2174/1574884715666200110153125] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/22/2019] [Revised: 09/06/2019] [Accepted: 12/03/2019] [Indexed: 11/22/2022]
Abstract
Background It is still controversial whether pomegranate causes drug interactions. Pomegranate juice has been shown to inhibit CYP3A in-vitro and animal studies. The co-administration of pomegranate juice with cyclosporine, a narrow therapeutic drug that is the substrate of CYP3A, might lead to drug toxicity. The objective of this study is to investigate the effect of pomegranate juice on the pharmacokinetics of cyclosporine in healthy Thai volunteers. Methods The study design was an open-label, randomized, single dose, crossover study with a 2-week washout period. Each fasting subject received 2 microemulsion tablets of 100 mg of cyclosporine with 500 ml of pomegranate juice (test) or 500 ml of water (control). Serial blood samples were collected up to 24 h after dosing, and blood samples were analyzed for cyclosporine concentrations by using chemiluminescent microparticle immunoassay. Fourteen healthy volunteers completed the study. Results The 90% confidence intervals for the test/control ratio using logarithmically transformed data of area under the concentration-time curve (AUC) from time zero until the last measured concentration (AUC0-t), AUC from time zero to infinity (AUC0-∞), and maximum concentration (Cmax) were 91.6-105.6, 92.0-105.2 and 82.3-102.5, respectively. The results were within the accepted bioequivalence range for narrow therapeutic index drugs (90-111% for AUC and 80-125% for Cmax). There were no differences in adverse event between the groups. Conclusion Single dose administration of pomegranate juice with cyclosporine did not significantly affect the oral bioavailability of cyclosporine. However, further work is needed to thoroughly evaluate the effect of pomegranate on narrow therapeutic drugs.

Abstract
Hypertension, a worldwide epidemic at present, is not a disease in itself rather it is an important risk factor for serious cardiovascular disorders including myocardial infarction, stroke, heart failure, and peripheral artery disease. Though numerous drugs acting via different mechanism of action are available in the market as conventional formulations for the treatment of hypertension but they face substantial challenges regarding their bioavailability, dosing and associated adverse effects which greatly limit their therapeutic efficacies. Various studies have demonstrated that nanocarriers can significantly increase the drug bioavailability thereby reducing the frequency of dosing in addition to minimizing toxicity associated with high dose of the drug. The present review provides an insight into the challenges associated with the conventional antihypertensive formulations and need for oral nanoparticulate systems in order to overcome problems associated with conventional formulations. Hypertension has circadian pattern of blood pressure, therefore chronotherapeutics can play a decisive role for the treatment, and however, nanoparticulate system can play major role in hypertension management. Future prospective for particulate nanocarriers in drug delivery for hypertension includes chronotherapeutics and emerging technique like gene therapy which is also covered in the review.

Abstract
We previously demonstrated that tomato juice (TJ) contains potent mechanism-based inhibitor(s) of CYP3A4. In this study, we investigated the effects of TJ and grapefruit juice (GFJ) on the pharmacokinetics of the CYP3A4-substrate drugs, nifedipine (NFP) and midazolam (MDZ), in male Wistar rats. Oral administration of GFJ 90 min before the intraduodenal administration of NFP or MDZ increased the area under the concentration–time curves (AUCs) of NFP and MDZ by 32.4% and 89.4%, respectively. TJ increased MDZ blood concentrations and AUC after intraduodenal MDZ administration; however, it had no effect on NFP. When MDZ and NFP were intravenously administered, GFJ significantly increased the AUC of MDZ, but only slightly increased that of NFP. In contrast, TJ only slightly increased the AUC of MDZ. These results suggest that, similar to GFJ, TJ influences the pharmacokinetics of CYP3A4-substrate drugs; however, it may be a drug-dependent partial effect.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Resveratrol (RSV) is a natural occurring antioxidant has been found to possess P-glycoprotein (P-gp) inhibition activity in vitro and in vivo, which may have the potential to cause drug-phytochemical interactions. The purpose of the present study was to evaluate the effect of RSV on the pharmacokinetics of fexofenadine (FEX), P-gp substrate in rats. METHODS A mechanistic evaluation was undertaken using in vitro non-everted sac and in situ intestinal perfusion studies to determine the FEX intestinal transport and permeability. These results were confirmed by an in vivo pharmacokinetic study of oral administered FEX (10mg/kg) in rats. RESULTS The intestinal transport and apparent permeability (Papp) of FEX were increased significantly in duodenum, jejunum and ileum of RSV and verapamil (VER) pretreated groups when compared to FEX alone group. Similarly absorption rate constant (Ka), fraction absorbed (Fab) and effective permeability (Peff) of FEX were increased significantly in ileum of RSV and VER pretreated groups when compared to FEX alone group. In comparison with FEX alone, RSV pretreatment significantly increased maximum plasma concentration (Cmax) and area under the concentration-time curve (AUC), while there was no significant change was observed in T1/2 and Tmax of FEX. CONCLUSIONS RSV significantly enhanced the exposure of FEX in rats likely by the inhibition of P-glycoprotein (P-gp) mediated efflux during the intestinal absorption, suggesting that there is a potential pharmacokinetic interaction between RSV and FEX. Therefore, further studies are recommended to evaluate the potential drug-phytochemical interactions in humans.

Abstract
Currently, the World Health Organization recommends oral administration of opioid analgesics for patients with cancer to treat cancer-related pain from the initial stage of treatment. Furthermore, many anticancer drugs have been newly-developed and approved as oral form. Because of this trend, the chances of drug-drug interactions between anticancer drugs and opioid analgesics during absorption process from the intestine are likely to increase. To investigate these possible drug-drug interactions, we have focused on intestinal P-glycoprotein (P-gp) which regulates the absorption of various substrate drugs administered orally. Previously, we have found that repeated oral treatment with etoposide (ETP), an anticancer drug, attenuates analgesia of oral morphine, a substrate drug for P-gp, by increasing the expression and activity of intestinal P-gp. However, the mechanism by which ETP treatment increases the intestinal P-gp expression and decreases oral morphine analgesia remains unclear. RhoA, a small G-protein, and ROCK, an effector of RhoA, pathway has been attracted attention with regard to their involvement in the regulatory mechanism of the expression and activity of P-gp. Interestingly, this pathway is activated in response to various signaling induced by some anticancer drugs. Furthermore, it has been reported that ezrin/radixin/moesin (ERM) play a key role in the plasma membrane localization of P-gp, and that RhoA/ROCK pathway regulates the activation process of ERM. This review article introduces the result of our previous research as well as recent findings on the involvement of ERM via activation of RhoA/ROCK in the increased expression of intestinal P-gp and decreased oral morphine analgesia induced by repeated oral treatment with ETP.

Abstract
Zhi Zhu Wan (ZZW), a classical Chinese medical formulae consisted of Atractylodes Rhizome and Fructus Citrus Immaturus, has been commonly used for treatment of gastrointestinal diseases. Hesperetin and naringenin are the main components of ZZW, and both can alleviate intestinal tract disorders. In this work, plasma pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics characteristics of ZZW after oral administration were investigated using a rapid and sensitive ultra performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry method with an electrospray ionization source in positive ion mode. Biosamples were prepared using methanolic precipitation, and the separation of hesperetin and naringenin was achieved on a Waters ACQUITY HSS BEH (2.1 mm × 5 mm, 1.7 µm) column by linear gradient elution, and the total run time was only 3 min. Data were analyzed and estimated using WinNonlin Professional version 5.1. With pharmacokinetic analysis, the estimated pharmacokinetic parameters (i.e. C(max), area under the concentration-time curve (AUC) and t(1/2)), were C(max) = 776.06 ng/mL, AUC = 9473 ng/mL·h, t1/2 = 5.26 h for hesperetin and C(max) = 2910.6 ng/mL, AUC = 40607.9 ng/mL·h, t1/2 = 4.69 h for naringenin, respectively. In the present study, we have also valuated and clarified the effect of ZZW on small intestinal movement. It was found that ZZW can accelerate intestinal motility in mice and may hold a promising treatment for intestinal diseases.
