Abstract
Andrographolide is a plant-based compound that showed promising activity against lung cancer. However, the compound's poor water solubility and low bioavailability limit its oral administration. Inhaled drug delivery of andrographolide is highly favourable as it delivers active ingredients directly into the affected lungs. In the current study, we compared in vitro aerosol performance, anti-cancer activity and storages stability of two (2) inhalable andrographolide formulations. Formulation 1 was prepared using precipitation and spray drying techniques, while Formulation 2 was prepared via direct spray drying technique. Drug morphology and physicochemical properties were confirmed using scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis. In vitro aerosol dispersion profile was evaluated using the next-generation impactor (NGI). Formulation 1 consisted of elongated crystals while Formulation 2 was made up of amorphous spherical particles. Both formulations had an inhalable fraction (<5 μm) of more than 40 %, making them suitable for pulmonary drug delivery. The formulations also showed an IC25 of less than 100 μg/mL against the human lung carcinoma cells (A549). Formulation 1 and 2 was stable in a vacuum condition at 30 °C for up to 6 and 3 months, respectively. Novel inhalable andrographolide dry powders were successfully produced with a good aerosol profile, potent anti-cancer activity and adequate storage stability, which deserve further in vivo investigations.

Abstract
An ultra-performance liquid chromatography with photodiode array (UPLC-PDA) UV detection method was developed here for the first time for simple, rapid, selective and sensitive quantification of the commonly prescribed selective cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) inhibitor etoricoxib in low plasma volumes (50 μL). The method includes protein precipitation followed by liquid-liquid extraction, evaporation and reconstitution. A gradient mobile phase of 75:25 going to 55:45 (v/v) water:acetonitrile (1 mL/min flow rate) was applied. Total run time was 8 min, representing a significant improvement relative to previous reports. Excellent linearity (r2 = 1) was obtained over a wide (0.1-12 µg/mL) etoricoxib concentration range. Short retention times for etoricoxib (4.9 min) and the internal standard trazodone (6.4 min), as well as high stability, recovery, accuracy, precision and reproducibility, and low etoricoxib LOD (20 ng/mL) and LOQ (100 ng/mL), were achieved. Finally, the method was successfully applied to a pharmacokinetic study (single 20 mg/kg orally administered etoricoxib mini-capsule) in rats. In conclusion, the advantages demonstrated in this work make this analytical method both time- and cost-efficient for drug monitoring in pre-clinical/clinical settings.

FUTURE JOURNAL OF PHARMACEUTICAL SCIENCES 2023; 9:1. [PMID: 36620352 PMCID: PMC9808673 DOI: 10.1186/s43094-022-00450-4] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/03/2022] [Accepted: 12/15/2022] [Indexed: 01/04/2023] Open
Abstract
Background In India, for the treatment of cold, fever and inflammation, people consume herbal remedies containing Andrographis paniculata Nees (APE) as main ingredient, along with NSAIDs. So the purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of APE and pure andrographolide (AN) on the pharmacokinetic of with aceclofenac (ACF) and celecoxib (CXB) after oral co-administration in wistar rats. After co-administration of APE (equivalent to 20 mg/kg of AN) and AN (20 mg/kg) with ACF (5 mg/kg) and CXB (5 mg/kg) in rats, orally, drug concentrations in plasma were determined using HPLC method. Non-compartment model was used to calculate pharmacokinetic parameters like Cmax, Tmax, t1/2, MRT, Vd, CL, and AUC. Results Co-administration of ACF and CXB with APE and pure AN altered the systemic exposure level of each compound in vivo. The Cmax, Tmax, MRT of CXB were increased whereas Vd and Cl of CXB were decreased significantly after co-administration of CXB with APE. Whereas co-administration of CXB with AN significantly decreased Vd, CL, and MRT of CXB. The concentration of ACF was increased significantly in co-administered groups with pure AN and APE. The AUC0-∞, AUMC0-∞, MRT, Vd and t1/2 of ACF were also significantly decreased in co-administered groups, hence CL of ACF was increased significantly. Conclusion This study concludes that APE and pure AN have effect on pharmacokinetic of CXB and ACF in rat. Not only patients but medical practitioners using Andrographis paniculata should have awareness regarding probable herb-drug interactions with ACF and CXB.

Pharmacokinetic Herb-Drug Interactions of Glipizide with Andrographis paniculata (Burm. f.) and Andrographolide in Normal and Diabetic Rats by Validated HPLC Method. Molecules 2022; 27:molecules27206901. [PMID: 36296494 PMCID: PMC9609824 DOI: 10.3390/molecules27206901] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/13/2022] [Revised: 10/08/2022] [Accepted: 10/09/2022] [Indexed: 11/17/2022] Open
Abstract
Co-administered medicinal herbs can modify a drug’s pharmacokinetics (PK), effectiveness, and toxicity. Andrographis paniculata (Burm. f.) ethanolic extract (APE) and andrographolide (AND) (a potent CYP2C9 inducer/inhibitor) can alter the pharmacokinetic parameters of glipizide (GLZ). This study aimed to determine the potential pharmacokinetics of herb−drug interactions between GLZ and APE/AND in the plasma of normal and diabetic rats using the HPLC bioanalysis method. The glipizide bioanalytical method established with RP-HPLC/UV instrument was validated following the EMA guidelines. GLZ was administered alone and in combination with APE or AND to normal and diabetic rats. The GLZ pharmacokinetic parameters were estimated according to the correlation between concentration and sampling time using the PK solver program. A simple and rapid GLZ bioanalysis technique with a lower limit of quantitation of 25 ng/mL was developed and presented the following parameters: accuracy (error ≤ 15%), precision (CV ≤ 15%), selectivity, stability, and linearity (R2 = 0.998) at concentrations ranging 25−1500 ng/mL. APE administration significantly improved the Cmax and AUC0−t/AUC0−∞ GLZ values in normal and diabetic rats (p < 0.05). AND significantly reduced the bioavailability of GLZ in diabetic rats with small values of T 1/2, Cmax, and AUC0−t/AUC0−∞ (p < 0.05). This combination can be considered in administering medications because it can influence the pharmacological effects of GLZ.

Abstract
The COVID-19 pandemic has intensively disrupted global health, economics, and well-being. Andrographis paniculata (Burm. f.) Nees has been used as a complementary treatment for COVID-19 in several Asian countries. This review aimed to summarize the information available regarding A. paniculata and its constituents, to provide critical points relating to its pharmacological properties, safety, and efficacy, revealing its potential to serve as a source of lead compounds for COVID-19 drug discovery. A. paniculata and its active compounds possess favorable antiviral, anti-inflammatory, immunomodulatory, and antipyretic activities that could be beneficial for COVID-19 treatment. Interestingly, recent in silico and in vitro studies have revealed that the active ingredients in A. paniculata showed promising activities against 3CLpro and its virus-specific target protein, human hACE2 protein; they also inhibit infectious virion production. Moreover, existing publications regarding randomized controlled trials demonstrated that the use of A. paniculata alone or in combination was superior to the placebo in reducing the severity of upper respiratory tract infection (URTI) manifestations, especially as part of early treatment, without serious side effects. Taken together, its chemical and biological properties, especially its antiviral activities against SARS-CoV-2, clinical trials on URTI, and the safety of A. paniculata, as discussed in this review, support the argument that A. paniculata is a promising natural source for drug discovery regarding COVID-19 post-infectious treatment, rather than prophylaxis.

Abstract
Andrographolide is one of the main active principles of Andrographolide paniculata and has been extensively explored for its therapeutic use. Current studies focus on phytotherapeutics-based adjuvant therapy to symptomatically treat sickle cell anemia (SCA) as there is no specific drug/gene therapy available to date. The present study aimed to explore the potential of andrographolide as an adjuvant therapy for SCA in the presence or absence of hydroxyurea (HU), a key drug for SCA treatment. A panel of ex vivo and in vivo experimentations was performed to explore the antisickling activity of andrographolide, followed by evaluating pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic (PK/PD) activities in the presence of HU. Andrographolide showed significant antisickling activity using blood from SCA patients (ex vivo) and did not show any deleterious effect to cause hemolysis using rat blood (ex vivo). It displayed a substantial decrease in HU-induced decline in splenic lymphocyte proliferation and cytokine level (TNF-α and IFN-γ) using rat splenocytes (ex vivo). Concomitant oral administration of andrographolide with HU in rats for 15 days exhibited a noticeable improvement in the RBC count and hemoglobin levels comparable to the efficacy of l-glutamine (in vivo). Simultaneous administration of andrographolide with HU caused no marked effect on any pharmacokinetic parameters of HU except the highest plasma concentration of HU and its corresponding time point, which significantly dropped and delayed, respectively (in vivo). No considerable effect of andrographolide was observed on urease and horseradish peroxidase activity (in vitro). Overall, results suggest that andrographolide has several beneficial actions to be an adjuvant therapy to symptomatically manage SCA, but it should be avoided during the prescribed therapy of HU.

Abstract
Introduction: Herb–drug interactions (HDIs) in pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics can occur when natural compounds are used in combination with drugs. This study aimed to review the potential interaction of Andrographis paniculata (Burm. f.) extract (APE) and its primary compound andrographolide (AND) with several drugs exhibiting various pharmacological activities.Methods: In this systematic review, articles were collected from international databases such as PubMed, Science Direct, Springer Link, and Scopus until August 2021. The following keywords were used: Andrographis paniculata, andrographolide, HDI, drug interaction, pharmacokinetics, and pharmacology. This review was written in accordance with the guidelines of the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-analyses (PRISMA), SYRCLE’s risk of bias (RoB) tool for animal intervention studies, and Cochrane RoB 2 tool to analyze the RoB for qualitative assessment.Results: Twelve articles were included in accordance with the inclusion and exclusion criteria of this study. Five studies explored the potential of HDIs for combining APE with drugs and AND with theophylline, etoricoxib, nabumetone, naproxen, and tolbutamide. Five studies focused on AND in combination with aminophylline and doxofylline, meloxicam, glyburide, glimepiride, metformin, and warfarin. Two studies tested the combination of APE with gliclazide and midazolam. The HDI mechanism involving the inhibition or induction of cytochrome P450 enzyme expression was dominant in influencing the drug’s pharmacokinetic profile. Pharmacological studies on the combination of several drugs, particularly anti-inflammatory and antidiabetic drugs, showed a synergistic activity.Conclusion: APE and AND have potential pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic HDIs with various drugs. This study can be used as a therapeutic consideration in clinical aspects related to the possibility of HDIs of A. paniculata (Burm. f.).

Abstract
Andrographis paniculata (Burm. f.) Wall. ex Nees, a renowned herb medicine in China, is broadly utilized in traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) for the treatment of cold and fever, sore throat, sore tongue, snake bite with its excellent functions of clearing heat and toxin, cooling blood and detumescence from times immemorial. Modern pharmacological research corroborates that andrographolide, the major ingredient in this traditional herb, is the fundamental material basis for its efficacy. As the main component of Andrographis paniculata (Burm. f.) Wall. ex Nees, andrographolide reveals numerous therapeutic actions, such as antiinflammatory, antioxidant, anticancer, antimicrobial, antihyperglycemic and so on. However, there are scarcely systematic summaries on the specific mechanism of disease treatment and pharmacokinetics. Moreover, it is also found that it possesses easily ignored security issues in clinical application, such as nephrotoxicity and reproductive toxicity. Thereby it should be kept a lookout over in clinical. Besides, the relationship between the efficacy and security issues of andrographolide should be investigated and evaluated scientifically. In this review, special emphasis is given to andrographolide, a multifunctional natural terpenoids, including its pharmacology, pharmacokinetics, toxicity and pharmaceutical researches. A brief overview of its clinical trials is also presented. This review intends to systematically and comprehensively summarize the current researches of andrographolide, which is of great significance for the development of andrographolide clinical products. Noteworthy, those un-cracked issues such as specific pharmacological mechanisms, security issues, as well as the bottleneck in clinical transformation, which detailed exploration and excavation are still not to be ignored before achieving integration into clinical practice. In addition, given that current extensive clinical data do not have sufficient rigor and documented details, more high-quality investigations in this field are needed to validate the efficacy and/or safety of many herbal products.

Abstract
ETHNOPHARMACOLOGICAL RELEVANCE Andrographis paniculata (Burm.f.) Nees, a traditional Chinese herb, has been widely used in various Asian countries as a treatment for upper respiratory tract infections for centuries. AIM OF THE STUDY Continuous inhalation of fine particulate matter (PM2.5) may induce various respiratory diseases. This study elucidated the protective effect of the effective part of Andrographis paniculata (Burm.f.) Nees (AEP) against PM2.5-induced lung injury and detailed the underlying mechanism. MATERIALS AND METHODS Male Wistar rats were orally administered 0.5% sodium carboxymethylcellulose (CMC-Na), andrographolide (AG) (200 mg/kg) and AEP (100 mg/kg, 200 mg/kg and 400 mg/kg) once a day for 28 days. The rats were intratracheally instilled with PM2.5 suspension (8 mg/kg) every other day beginning on the 24th day for a total of 3 times. On the 29th day, bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) was collected to analyze the levels of lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), acid phosphatase (ACP), alkaline phosphatase (AKP), total proteins (TP), tumor necrosis factor α (TNF-α) and interleukin-6 (IL-6). Hematoxylin & eosin staining was conducted to evaluate the pathological changes in the lung tissues. The protein expression of NF-κB p65 in the lung tissues was analyzed by immunohistochemistry staining. Moreover, the nuclear translocation of NF-κB p65 and the phosphorylation of IκBα were analyzed by western blotting. RESULTS PM2.5 exposure caused lung toxicity, which was characterized by pathological injury and increased levels of LDH, ACP, AKP and TP in BALF. Meanwhile, PM2.5 exposure induced lung inflammatory response, including infiltration of inflammatory cells and increased levels of inflammatory factors, such as TNF-α and IL-6 in BALF. AEP treatment significantly ameliorated the PM2.5-induced lung toxicity and the inflammatory response in rats. Moreover, AEP significantly inhibited the PM2.5-induced upregulation of NF-κB p65 protein expression, phosphorylation of IκBα and nuclear translocation of NF-κB p65 in lung tissue. Compared to AG, AEP exhibited a better ability to alleviate PM2.5-induced pathological damage and decrease the TP level in the BALF. CONCLUSION AEP could be used to improve PM2.5-induced lung injury by modulating the NF-κB pathway, and multicomponent therapy with traditional Chinese medicine may be more effective than single-drug therapy.

Abstract
Global diabetes epidemic is the major cause of fatality and lethality. As per IDF 2019 report, diabetes caused 4.2 million deaths, approximately 463 million people are living with diabetes and by 2045, this will rise to 700 million. Nowadays, the physicians and common people in both developed and developing countries are using medicinal plants and their formulations to treat diseases with the postulation that organic commodities are safe for consumption. These plants may act as inhibitors or inducers of the Cytochrome P450 or transport and efflux proteins or both and may alter gastrointestinal, renal functions leading to Herb-Drug Interactions. This review intends to focus on the frequently employed medicinal plants, their traditional uses, their Cytochrome P450 inhibition or induction activity, phytochemical, and pharmacological effects, established HDI with the help of in vitro tools, in vivo pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics studies to understand the impact of herbs on ADME of the drug and whether it is beneficial, harmful or has no effect respectively. This review will help the physicians and other health care professionals as a reference guide to update their knowledge and expertise about HDI. However, more quality research in this area is needed to evaluate the efficacy of many herbal medicines, thereby reducing side effects and improving the safety of patients.

Abstract
In India, traditional herbal medicines have been an essential part of therapy for the last centuries. However, a large portion of the general populace is using these therapies in combination with allopathy lacking a proper understanding of possible interactions (synergistic or antagonistic) between the herbal product and the allopathic drug. This is based on the assumption that herbal drugs are relatively safe, i.e. without side effects. We have established a comprehensive understanding of the possible herb-drug interactions and identified interaction patterns between the most common herbs and drugs currently in use in the Indian market. For this purpose, we listed common interactors (herbs and allopathic drugs) using available scientific literature. Drugs were then categorized into therapeutic classes and aligned to produce a recognizable pattern present only if interactions were observed between a drug class and herb in the scientific literature. Interestingly, the top three categories (with highest interactors), antibiotics, oral hypoglycemics, and anticonvulsants, displayed synergistic interactions only. Another major interactor category was CYP450 enzymes, a natural component of our metabolism. Both activation and inhibition of CYP450 enzymes were observed. As many allopathic drugs are known CYP substrates, inhibitors or inducers, ingestion of an interacting herb could result in interaction with the co-administered drug. This information is largely unavailable for the Indian population and should be studied in greater detail to avoid such interactions. Although this information is not absolute, the systematic literature review proves the existence of herb-drug interactions in the literature and studies where no interaction was detected are equally important.

Abstract
CONTEXT Andrographolide and warfarin are often used together in clinics in China. However, the herb-drug interaction between andrographolide and warfarin is still unknown. OBJECTIVE This study investigates the herb-drug interaction between andrographolide and warfarin in vivo and in vitro. MATERIALS AND METHODS A sensitive and reliable LC-MS/MS method was developed for the determination of warfarin in male Sprague-Dawley rats plasma, and then the pharmacokinetics of orally administered warfarin (0.5 mg/kg) with or without andrographolide (30 mg/kg/day for 7 days) pretreatment was investigated. In addition, Sprague-Dawley rat liver microsomes incubation systems were used to support the in vivo pharmacokinetic data and investigate its potential mechanism. RESULTS The method validation results showed that a sensitive and reliable LC-MS/MS method was developed for the determination of warfarin in rat plasma samples. The pharmacokinetic results indicated that co-administration of andrographolide could increase the systemic exposure of warfarin significantly, including area under the curve (118.92 ± 18.08 vs. 60.58 ± 9.46 μg × h/mL), maximum plasma concentration (3.32 ± 0.41 vs. 2.35 ± 0.25 μg/mL) and t1/2 (22.73 ± 3.28 vs. 14.27 ± 2.67 h). Additionally, the metabolic stability of warfarin increased from 23.5 ± 4.7 to 38.7 ± 6.1 min with the pretreatment of andrographolide, and the difference was significant (p < 0.05). DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSION In conclusion, andrographolide could increase the systemic exposure of warfarin in rats when andrographolide and warfarin were co-administered, and possibly by slowing down the metabolism of warfarin in rat liver by inhibiting the activity of CYP3A4 or CYP2C9.

Abstract
Andrographolide (AP) is a diterpenoid separated from Andrographis paniculata with a wide spectrum of biological activities including anti-inflammatory, anticancer, hepatoprotective, and antihyperlipidemic. However, its poor water solubility and instability result in lower bioavailability, which seriously limit its pharmacological function. In this study, the attempt to use regenerated silk fibroin (RSF) as a drug-carrier to encapsulate AP was reported. The AP-loaded RSF nanoparticles were prepared by a facile and clean method without any toxic agents. Moreover, special attention was paid to the optimization of formulation. Finally, the sizes of the AP-loaded RSF nanoparticles ranged from 200 to 1000 nm, and the nanoparticles were spherically shaped, as seen by transmission electron microscopy. The drug loading and encapsulation efficiency were about 25.9% and 87.3%, respectively. Furthermore, the release time of AP-loaded RSF nanoparticles was about 3 days. The particle size and drug release behaviour could be adjusted by treating with glycol amine. The in vitro cytotoxicity studies demonstrated that the RSF nanoparticles showed negligible cytotoxicity to cells, and the anti-proliferative activity of AP-loaded RSF nanoparticles showed that the AP-loaded RSF nanoparticles can adhere to Hela cells and MDA-MB-231 cells easily. All these results imply that this biomacromolecule drug nanocarrier has great potential for chemotherapy in clinical applications.

In vitro inhibitory effects of major bioactive constituents of Andrographis paniculata, Curcuma longa and Silybum marianum on human liver microsomal morphine glucuronidation: A prediction of potential herb-drug interactions arising from andrographolide, curcumin and silybin inhibition in humans. Drug Metab Pharmacokinet 2018; 33:67-76.

Abstract
This study aimed to investigate the liver microsomal inhibitory effects of silybin, silychristin, andrographolide, and curcumin by using morphine as an in vitro UGT2B7 probe substrate, and predict the magnitude of the herb-drug interaction arising from these herbal constituents' inhibition in vivo. Studies were performed in the incubation with and without bovine serum albumin (BSA). Andrographolide and curcumin showed a marked inhibition on morphine 3- and 6-glucuronidation with IC50 of 50&87 and 96&111 μM, respectively. In the presence of 2%BSA, andrographolide also showed a strong inhibition on morphine 3- and 6-glucuronidation (IC50 4.4&21.6 μM) whereas curcumin showed moderate inhibition (IC50 338&333 μM). In the absence and presence of 2%BSA, morphine 3- and 6-glucuronidation was moderately inhibited by silybin (IC50 583&862 and 1252&1421 μM, respectively), however was weakly inhibited by silychristin (IC50 3527&3504 and 1124&1530 μM, respectively). The Ki of andrographolide, curcumin and silybin on morphine 3- and 6-glucuronidation were 7.1&9.5, 72.7&65.2, and 224.5&159.7 μM, respectively, while the respective values generated from the system containing 2%BSA were 2.4&3.1, 96.4&108.8, and 366.3&394.5 μM. Using the in vitro and in vivo extrapolation approach, andrographolide was herbal component that may have had a potential interaction in vivo when it was co-administered with morphine.

Abstract
Cyclophosphamide (CP) is widely used in anticancer therapy regimens and 2-dechloroethylcyclophosphamide (DECP) is its side-chain dechloroethylated metabolite. N-dechloroethylation of CP mediated by the enzyme CYP3A4 yields nephrotoxic and neurotoxic chloroacetaldehyde (CAA) in equimolar amount to DECP. This study aimed to evaluate the inhibitory effect of ketoconazole (KTZ) on CP metabolism through in vitro and in vivo drug-drug interaction (DDI) research. Long-term treatment of KTZ induces hepatic injury; thus single doses of KTZ at low, middle, and high levels (10, 20, and 40 mg/kg) were investigated for pharmacokinetic DDI with CP. Our in vitro human liver microsome modeling approach suggested that KTZ inhibited CYP3A4 activity and then decreased DECP exposure. In addition, an UHPLC-MS/MS method for quantifying CP, DECP, and KTZ in rat plasma was developed and fully validated with a 4 min analysis coupled with a simple and reproducible one-step protein precipitation. A further in vivo pharmacokinetic study demonstrated that combination use of CP (10 mg/kg) and KTZ (10, 20, and 40 mg/kg) in rats caused a KTZ dose-dependent decrease in main parameters of DECP (Cmax, Tmax, and AUC0-∞) and provided magnitude exposure of DECP (more than a 50% AUC decrease) as a consequence of CYP3A inhibition but had only a small effect on the CP plasma concentration. Our results suggested that combination usage of a CYP3A4 inhibitor like KTZ may decrease CAA exposure and thus intervene against CAA-induced adverse effects in CP clinical treatment.

JOURNAL OF ETHNOPHARMACOLOGY 2017; 195:214-221. [PMID: 27847337 DOI: 10.1016/j.jep.2016.11.022] [Citation(s) in RCA: 23] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/10/2016] [Revised: 09/01/2016] [Accepted: 11/02/2016] [Indexed: 06/06/2023]
Abstract
ETHNOPHARMACOLOGICAL RELEVANCE Andrographis paniculata Nees (Acanthacae) have broad range of pharmacological effects such as hepatoprotective, antifertility, antimalarial, antidiabetic, suppression of various cancer cells and anti-inflammatory properties and is widely used medicinal plant in the traditional Unani and Ayurvedic medicinal systems. Andrographolide (AN) is one of the active constituent of the A. paniculata Nees extract (APE). They have been found in many traditional herbal formulations in India and proven to be effective as anti-inflammatory drug. AIM OF THE STUDY To evaluate the pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic (anti arthritic) herb-drug interactions of A. paniculata Nees extract (APE) and pure andrographolide (AN) with naproxen (NP) after oral co-administration in wistar rats. MATERIALS AND METHODS After oral co-administration of APE (200mg/Kg) and AN (60mg/kg) with NP (7.5mg/kg) in rats, drug concentrations in plasma were determined using HPLC method. The main pharmacokinetic parameters of Cmax, tmax, t1/2, MRT, Vd, CL, and AUC were calculated by non-compartment model. Change in paw volume, mechanical nociceptive threshold, mechanical hyperalgesia, histopathology and hematological parameters were evaluated to study antiarthritic activity. RESULTS Co-administration of NP with APE and pure AN decreased systemic exposure level of NP in vivo. The Cmax, tmax, AUC0-t of NP was decreased. In pharmacodynamic study, NP (10mg/kg) alone and NP+AN (10+60mg/kg) groups exhibited significant synergistic anti-arthritic activity as compared to groups NP+APE, APE and AN alone. CONCLUSION The results obtained from this study suggested that NP, APE and pure AN existed pharmacokinetic herb-drug interactions in rat which is correlated with anti-arthritic study. The knowledge regarding possible herb-drug interaction of NP might be helpful for physicians as well as patients using AP. So further studies should be done to understand the effect of other herbal ingredients of APE on NP as well as to predict the herb-drug interaction in humans.
