Abstract
Quercetin (QUE) is a widely studied nutraceutical with a number of potential therapeutic properties. Although QUE is abundant in the plant kingdom, its poor solubility (≤20 μg/mL) and poor oral bioavailability have impeded its potential utility and clinical development. In this context, cocrystallization has emerged as a useful method for improving the physicochemical properties of biologically active molecules. We herein report a novel cocrystal of the nutraceutical quercetin (QUE) with the coformer pentoxifylline (PTF) and a solvate of a previously reported structure between QUE and betaine (BET). We also report the outcomes of in vitro and in vivo studies of QUE release and absorption from a panel of QUE cocrystals: betaine (BET), theophylline (THP), l-proline (PRO), and novel QUEPTF. All cocrystals were found to exhibit an improvement in the dissolution rate of QUE. Further, the QUE plasma levels in Sprague-Dawley rats showed a 64-, 27-, 10- and 7-fold increase in oral bioavailability for QUEBET·MeOH, QUEPTF, QUEPRO, and QUETHP, respectively, compared to QUE anhydrate. We rationalize our in vivo and in vitro findings as the result of dissolution-supersaturation-precipitation behavior.

Lysiphyllum strychnifolium (Craib) A. Schmitz Extracts Moderate the Expression of Drug-Metabolizing Enzymes: In Vivo Study to Clinical Propose. Pharmaceuticals (Basel) 2023.

Abstract
Lysiphyllum strychnifolium (Craib) A. Schmitz (LS) has been traditionally used as a medicinal herb by folk healers in Thailand with rare evidence-based support. Hepatic cytochrome P450s (CYPs450) are well known as the drug-metabolizing enzymes that catalyze all drugs and toxicants. In this study, we investigated the mRNA levels of six clinically important CYPs450, i.e., CYP1A2, 3A2, 2C11, 2D1, 2D2, and 2E1, in rats given LS extracts. Seventy Wistar rats were randomized into seven groups (n = 10). Each group was given LS stem ethanol (SE) and leaf water (LW) extracts orally at doses of 300, 2000, and 5000 mg/kg body weight (mg/kg.bw) for twenty-eight consecutive days. After treatment, the expression of CYPs450 genes was measured using quantitative real-time PCR. The results revealed that SE and LW, which contained quercetin and gallic acid, promoted the upregulation of all CYPs450. Almost all CYPs450 genes were downregulated in all male LW-treated rats but upregulated in female-treated groups, suggesting that CYP gene expressions in LS-treated rats were influenced by gender. Moderate and high doses of the LS extracts had a tendency to induce six CYP450s’ transcription levels in both rat genders. CYP2E1 gene showed a unique expression level in male rats receiving SE at a dose of 2000 mg/kg.bw, whereas a low dose of 300 mg/kg.bw was found in the LW-treated female group. As a result, our findings suggest that different doses of LS extracts can moderate the varying mRNA expression of clinically relevant CYP genes. In this study, we provide information about CYP induction and inhibition in vivo, which could be a desirable condition for furthering the practical use of LS extracts in humans.

Abstract
Drug-metabolizing enzymes, particularly the cytochrome P450 (CYP450) monooxygenases, play a pivotal role in pharmacokinetics. CYP450 enzymes can be affected by various xenobiotic substrates, which will eventually be responsible for most metabolism-based herb–herb or herb–drug interactions, usually involving competition with another drug for the same enzyme binding site. Compounds from herbal or natural products are involved in many scenarios in the context of such interactions. These interactions are decisive both in drug discovery regarding the synergistic effects, and drug application regarding unwanted side effects. Herein, this review was conducted as a comprehensive compilation of the effects of herbal ingredients on CYP450 enzymes. Nearly 500 publications reporting botanicals’ effects on CYP450s were collected and analyzed. The countries focusing on this topic were summarized, the identified herbal ingredients affecting enzyme activity of CYP450s, as well as methods identifying the inhibitory/inducing effects were reviewed. Inhibitory effects of botanicals on CYP450 enzymes may contribute to synergistic effects, such as herbal formulae/prescriptions, or lead to therapeutic failure, or even increase concentrations of conventional medicines causing serious adverse events. Conducting this review may help in metabolism-based drug combination discovery, and in the evaluation of the safety profile of natural products used therapeutically.

Abstract
Schizophrenia is a common psychiatric disorder which affects approximately 1% of the population worldwide. However, the complexity of etiology, treatment resistance and side effects induced by current antipsychotics, relapse prevention, and psychosocial rehabilitation are still to be uncovered. Caffeine, as the world's most widely consumed psychoactive drug, plays a crucial role in daily life. Plenty of preclinical and clinical evidence has illustrated that caffeine consumption could have a beneficial effect on schizophrenia. In this review, we firstly summarize the factors associated with the caffeine-induced beneficial effect. Then, a variety of mechanism of actions independent of adenosine receptor signaling will be discussed with an emphasis on the potential contribution of the microbiome-gut-brain axis to provide more possibilities for future therapeutic, prognosis, and social rehabilitation strategy.

Pharmaceutics 2021; 13:pharmaceutics13060782. [PMID: 34071139 PMCID: PMC8224802 DOI: 10.3390/pharmaceutics13060782] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/17/2021] [Revised: 05/18/2021] [Accepted: 05/20/2021] [Indexed: 02/03/2023] Open
Abstract
Repaglinide (RPG), a rapid-acting meglitinide analog, is an oral hypoglycemic agent for patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus. Quercetin (QCT) is a well-known antioxidant and antidiabetic flavonoid that has been used as an important ingredient in many functional foods and complementary medicines. This study aimed to comprehensively investigate the effects of QCT on the metabolism of RPG and its underlying mechanisms. The mean (range) IC50 of QCT on the microsomal metabolism of RPG was estimated to be 16.7 (13.0–18.6) μM in the rat liver microsome (RLM) and 3.0 (1.53–5.44) μM in the human liver microsome (HLM). The type of inhibition exhibited by QCT on RPG metabolism was determined to be a mixed inhibition with a Ki of 72.0 μM in RLM and 24.2 μM in HLM as obtained through relevant graphical and enzyme inhibition model-based analyses. Furthermore, the area under the plasma concentration versus time curve (AUC) and peak plasma concentration (Cmax) of RPG administered intravenously and orally in rats were significantly increased by 1.83- and 1.88-fold, respectively, after concurrent administration with QCT. As the protein binding and blood distribution of RPG were observed to be unaltered by QCT, it is plausible that the hepatic first-pass and systemic metabolism of RPG could have been inhibited by QCT, resulting in the increased systemic exposure (AUC and Cmax) of RPG. These results suggest that there is a possibility that clinically significant pharmacokinetic interactions between QCT and RPG could occur, depending on the extent and duration of QCT intake from foods and dietary supplements.

Abstract
Caffeine is a popular ergogenic aid due to its primary physiological effects that occur through antagonism of adenosine receptors in the central nervous system. This leads to a cascade of physiological reactions which increases focus and volition, and reduces perception of effort and pain, contributing to improved exercise performance. Substantial variability in the physiological and performance response to acute caffeine consumption is apparent, and a growing number of studies are implicating a single-nucleotide polymorphism in the CYP1A2 gene, responsible for caffeine metabolism, as a key factor that influences the acute responses to caffeine ingestion. However, existing literature regarding the influence of this polymorphism on the ergogenic effects of caffeine is controversial. Fast caffeine metabolisers (AA homozygotes) appear most likely to benefit from caffeine supplementation, although over half of studies showed no differences in the responses to caffeine between CYP1A2 genotypes, while others even showed either a possible advantage or disadvantage for C-allele carriers. Contrasting data are limited by weak study designs and small samples sizes, which did not allow separation of C-allele carriers into their sub-groups (AC and CC), and insufficient mechanistic evidence to elucidate findings. Mixed results prevent practical recommendations based upon genotype while genetic testing for CYP1A2 is also currently unwarranted. More mechanistic and applied research is required to elucidate how the CYP1A2 polymorphism might alter caffeine's ergogenic effect and the magnitude thereof, and whether CYP1A2 genotyping prior to caffeine supplementation is necessary.

Abstract
Over the last few years, there has been increasing interest in the possible beneficial effect of polyphenol consumption on neurodegenerative disorders. Because there is a clear impact of environmental factors on the onset and evolution of neurodegenerative conditions, food arises as a promising factor that might be influencing this group of pathologies. The mechanisms by which polyphenols can affect these processes can be through direct interaction with redox signaling or inflammatory pathways but can also be explained by the interaction of dietary polyphenols with either micro- and macronutrients that are known to have neurological effects or interaction with food contaminants or food-associated toxins, avoiding their neuronal toxicity.

Effect of Naringenin, Quercetin, and Sesamin on Xenobiotica-Metabolizing CYP1A and CYP3A in Mice Offspring after Maternal Exposure to Persistent Organic Pollutants. BIOMED RESEARCH INTERNATIONAL 2017; 2017:8472312. [PMID: 28567424 PMCID: PMC5439065 DOI: 10.1155/2017/8472312] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.9] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/05/2017] [Revised: 03/17/2017] [Accepted: 04/18/2017] [Indexed: 01/21/2023]
Abstract
The aim of the present study was to evaluate in vitro effects of dietary phytochemicals naringenin, quercetin, and sesamin on the activities of ethoxy- (EROD; CYP1A) and benzyloxy- (BROD; CYP3A) resorufin O-dealkylases after the exposure to the cocktail of persistent organic pollutants (POPs). CD-1 mice were exposed from weaning, through gestation and lactation to a defined mixture of POPs. Hepatic microsomes were prepared from their female offspring at postnatal day 42. Hepatic EROD and BROD activity were evaluated in the presence of quercetin, naringenin, and sesamin at nine concentrations from 5 to 100000 nM. EROD activity was strongly inhibited by quercetin with Ki values from 1.7 to 2.6 μM. BROD activity was inhibited by quercetin with Ki values from 64.9 to 75.3 μM and naringenin with Ki values from 39.3 to 45.8 μM. The IC50 and Ki values did not differ between the groups of mice with different levels of POPs exposure in any of the experimental sets. Sesamin did not inhibit either EROD or BROD. We concluded that the interactions of quercetin and naringenin with CYP1A and CYP3A in mice liver were not affected by the levels of POPs exposure.
