Abstract
This study was performed to investigate the herb-drug interactions (HDIs) of citrus herbs (CHs), which was inspired by the "grapefruit (GF) juice effect". Based on network analysis, a total of 249 components in GF and 159 compounds in CHs exhibited great potential as active ingredients. Moreover, 360 GF-related genes, 422 CH-related genes, and 111 genes associated with drug transport and metabolism were collected, while 25 and 26 overlapping genes were identified. In compound-target networks, the degrees of naringenin, isopimpinellin, apigenin, sinensetin, and isoimperatorin were higher, and the results of protein-protein interaction indicated the hub role of UGT1A1 and CYP3A4. Conventional drugs such as erlotinib, nilotinib, tamoxifen, theophylline, venlafaxine, and verapamil were associated with GF and CHs via multiple drug transporters and drug-metabolizing enzymes. Remarkably, GF and CHs shared 48 potential active compounds, among which naringenin, tangeretin, nobiletin, and apigenin possessed more interactions with targets. Drug metabolism by cytochrome P450 stood out in the mutual mechanism of GF and CHs. Molecular docking was utilized to elevate the protein-ligand binding potential of naringenin, tangeretin, nobiletin, and apigenin with UGT1A1 and CYP3A4. Furthermore, in vitro experiments demonstrated their regulating effect. Overall, this approach provided predictions on the HDIs of CHs, and they were tentatively verified through molecular docking and cell tests. Moreover, there is a demand for clinical and experimental evidence to support the prediction.

Evaluation of chinese-herbal-medicine-induced herb-drug interactions: focusing on organic anion transporter 1. EVIDENCE-BASED COMPLEMENTARY AND ALTERNATIVE MEDICINE 2012; 2012:967182. [PMID: 22988478 PMCID: PMC3440032 DOI: 10.1155/2012/967182] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.6] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/02/2012] [Revised: 07/26/2012] [Accepted: 07/30/2012] [Indexed: 11/17/2022]
Abstract
The consumption of Chinese herbal medicines (CHMs) is increasing exponentially. Many patients utilize CHMs concomitantly with prescription drugs in great frequency. Herb-drug interaction has hence become an important focus of study. Transporter-mediated herb-drug interactions have the potential to seriously influence drug efficacy and toxicity. Since organic anion transporter 1 (OAT1) is crucial in renal active secretion and drug-drug interactions, the possibility of modulation of OAT1-mediated drug transport should be seriously concerned. Sixty-three clinically used CHMs were evaluated in the study. An hOAT1-overexpressing cell line was used for the in vitro CHMs screening, and the effective candidates were administered to Wistar rats to access renal hemodynamics. The regulation of OAT1 mRNA expression was also examined for further evidence of CHMs affecting OAT1-mediated transport. Among all the 63 CHMs, formulae Gui Zhi Fu Ling Wan (GZ) and Chia Wei Hsiao Yao San (CW) exhibited significant inhibitions on hOAT1-mediated [3H]-PAH uptake in vitro and PAH clearance and net secretion in vivo. Moreover, GZ showed concentration-dependent manners both in vitro and in vivo, and the decrease of rOAT1 mRNA expression indicated that GZ not only inhibited function of OAT1 but also suppressed expression of OAT1.

Reversion of p-glycoprotein-mediated multidrug resistance in human leukemic cell line by diallyl trisulfide. EVIDENCE-BASED COMPLEMENTARY AND ALTERNATIVE MEDICINE 2012; 2012:719805. [PMID: 22919419 PMCID: PMC3418761 DOI: 10.1155/2012/719805] [Citation(s) in RCA: 12] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/15/2012] [Accepted: 05/16/2012] [Indexed: 12/15/2022]
Abstract
Multidrug resistance (MDR) is the major obstacle in chemotherapy, which involves multiple signaling pathways. Diallyl trisulfide (DATS) is the main sulfuric compound in garlic. In the present study, we aimed to explore whether DATS could overcome P-glycoprotein-(P-gp-)mediated MDR in K562/A02 cells, and to investigate whether NF-κB suppression is involved in DATS-induced reversal of MDR. MTT assay revealed that cotreatment with DATS increased the response of K562/A02 cells to adriamycin (the resistance reversal fold was 3.79) without toxic side effects. DATS could enhance the intracellular concentration of adriamycin by inhibiting the function and expression of P-gp, as shown by flow cytometry, RT-PCR, and western blot. In addition, DATS resulted in more K562/A02 cell apoptosis, accompanied by increased expression of caspase-3. The expression of NF-κB/p65 (downregulation) was significantly linked to the drug-resistance mechanism of DATS, whereas the expression of IκBα was not affected by DATS. Our findings demonstrated that DATS can serve as a novel, nontoxic modulator of MDR, and can reverse the MDR of K562/A02 cells in vitro by increasing intracellular adriamycin concentration and inducing apoptosis. More importantly, we proved for the first time that the suppression of NF-κB possibly involves the molecular mechanism in the course of reversion by DATS.
