Abstract
CONTEXT The effect of the active ingredients in traditional Chinese medicines on the activity of cytochrome P450 enzymes (CYP450s) is a critical factor that should be considered in TCM prescriptions. Physcion, the major active ingredient of Rheum spp. (Polygonaceae), possesses wide pharmacological activities. OBJECTIVES The effect of physcion on CYP450 activity was investigated to provide a theoretical basis for use. MATERIALS AND METHODS The experiments were conducted in pooled human liver microsomes (HLMs). The activity of CYP450 isoforms was evaluated with corresponding substrates and probe reactions. Blank HLMs were set as negative controls, and typical inhibitors were employed as positive controls. The inhibition model was fitted with Lineweaver Burk plots. The concentration (0, 2.5, 5, 10, 25, 50 and 100 μM physcion) and time-dependent (0, 5, 10, 15 and 30 min) effects of physcion were also assessed. RESULTS Physcion suppressed CYP2C9, 2D6 and 3A4 in a concentration-dependent manner with IC50 values of 7.44, 17.84 and 13.50 μM, respectively. The inhibition of CYP2C9 and 2D6 was competitive with the Ki values of 3.69 and 8.66 μM, respectively. The inhibition of CYP3A4 was non-competitive with a Ki value of 6.70 μM. Additionally, only the inhibition of CYP3A4 was time-dependent with the KI and Kinact parameters of 3.10 μM-1 and 0.049 min-1, respectively. CONCLUSIONS The inhibition of CYP450s by physcion should be considered in its clinical prescription, and the study design can be employed to evaluate the interaction of CYP450s with other herbs.

Abstract
To assess the effect of Rehmannioside A on CYP450s activity and to estimate its inhibitory properties.The effect of Rehmannioside A on the activity of major CYP450s in human liver microsomes (HLMs) was assessed with the corresponding substrates and marker reactions, and compared with a blank control and the respective inhibitors. Suppression of CYP3A4, 2C9 and 2D6 was assessed by the dose-dependent assay and fitted with non-competitive or competitive inhibition models. The inhibition of CYP3A4 was determined in a time-dependent manner.Rehmannioside A suppressed the activity of CYP3A4, 2C9, and 2D6 with IC50 values of 10.08, 12.62, and 16.43 μM, respectively. Suppression of CYP3A4 was fitted to a non-competitive model with Ki value of 5.08 μM, whereas CYP2C9 and 2D6 were fitted to a competitive model with Ki values of 6.25 and 8.14 μM. Additionally, the inhibitory effect on CYP3A4 was time-dependent with KI value of 8.47 μM-1 and a Kinact of 0.048 min-1.In vitro suppression of CYP3A, 2C9 and 2D6 by Rehmannioside A indicated that Rehmannioside A or its source herbs may interact with drugs metabolised by these CYP450s, which could guide the clinical application.

Abstract
The formal mechanism of linear mixed and non-competitive enzyme inhibition implies the binding of inhibitors to both the active site of the free enzyme in competition with the substrate, and to an allosteric site on the enzyme-substrate complex. However, it is evident from a review of the scientific literature that the two-site mechanism is frequently mistaken as the actual underlying mechanism of mixed inhibition. In this study, we conducted a comprehensive assessment of the mechanistic relevance of this type of inhibition using a statistical approach. By combining a statistical analysis of the inhibition cases documented in the BRENDA database with a theoretical investigation of inhibition models, we conclude that mixed inhibitors exclusively bind to the active site of enzymes. Hence ruling out any implication of allosteric sites and depriving the two-site model of any mechanistic relevance.

Abstract
Overexpression of the thymidine phosphorylase (TP) enzyme induces angiogenesis, which eventually leads to metastasis and tumor growth. The crucial role of TP in cancer development makes it an important target for anticancer drug discovery. Currently, there is only one US-FDA-approved drug, i.e., Lonsurf, a combination of trifluridine and tipiracil, for the treatment of metastatic colorectal cancer. Unfortunately, numerous adverse effects are associated with its use, such as myelosuppression, anemia, and neutropenia. Since the last few decades, the discovery of new, safe, and effective TP inhibitory agents has been rigorously pursued. In the present study, we evaluated a series of previously synthesized dihydropyrimidone derivatives 1-40 for their TP inhibitory potential. Compounds 1, 12, and 33 showed a good activity with IC50 = 314.0 ± 0.90, 303.5 ± 0.40, and 322.6 ± 1.60 µM, respectively. The results of mechanistic studies revealed that compounds 1, 12, and 33 were the non-competitive inhibitors. These compounds were also evaluated for cytotoxicity against 3T3 (mouse fibroblast) cells and were found to be non-cytotoxic. Finally, the molecular docking suggested the plausible mechanism of non-competitive inhibition of TP. The current study thus identifies some dihydropyrimidone derivatives as potential inhibitors of TP, which can be further optimized as leads for cancer treatment.

Abstract
CONTEXT Alpinetin, the major active constitutes of Alpinia katsumata Hayata (Zingiberaceae), has been demonstrated to possess the activity of anti-breast cancer. Cytochrome P450 enzymes (CYP450s) plays vital roles in the biotransformation of various drugs. OBJECTIVE To assess the effect of alpinetin on the activity of CYP450s and estimate the inhibition characteristics. MATERIALS AND METHODS The activity of CYP450s was evaluated in pooled human liver microsomes with corresponding substrates and marker reactions. The effect of alpinetin was compared with blank control (negative control) and corresponding inhibitors (positive control). The dose-dependent and time-dependent experiments were conducted in the presence of 0, 2.5, 5, 10, 25, 50, and 100 μM alpinetin and incubated for 0, 5, 10, 15, and 30 min. RESULTS Alpinetin suppressed CYP3A4, 2C9, and 2E1 activity. All the inhibitions were significantly influenced by alpinetin contration with the IC50 values of 8.23 μM (CYP3A4), 12.64 μM (CYP2C9), and 10.97 μM (CYP2E1), respectively. The inhibition of CYP3A4 was fitted with the non-competitive model with a Ki value of 4.09 μM and was time-dependent with KI and Kinact values of 4.67 min and 0.041 μM-1, respectively. While CYP2C9 and 2E1 were inhibited by alpinetin competitively with Ki values of 6.42 (CYP2C9) and 5.40 μM (CYP2E1), respectively, in a time-independent manner. DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSION The in vitro inhibitory effect of alpineticn on CYP3A, 2C9, and 2E1 implied the potential interaction of alpinetin or its origin herbs with the drugs metabolised by those CYP450s, which needs further in vivo validation.

Abstract
In this study, the inhibition and mechanism of epigallocatechin (EGC) on two key glycoside hydrolases (α-glucosidase, α-amylase) were explored from the molecular structure level. The chemical structure of EGC was characterized by X-ray diffraction, Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, and proton nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy. EGC's inhibition on these enzymes was colorimetrically determined. The effects of EGC on the chemical structure and spatial configuration of the enzymes were explored via FTIR spectroscopy, fluorescence spectroscopy, and molecular docking techniques. The results showed that EGC exhibited the inhibition of α-glucosidase and α-amylase in a non-competitive manner, showing a continuous upward trend as EGC's concentration increased. There was a fluorescence quenching effect of EGC on α-glucosidase and α-amylase. Molecular docking confirmed that EGC can bind to amino acid residues in the enzyme through intermolecular hydrogen bonds and hydrophobic interactions, resulting in the changed chemical structure and spatial conformation of the enzymes. This decreased enzyme activity. This result suggested that EGC has the potential to inhibit two key glycoside hydrolases, and it would be beneficial to incorporate EGC into functional foods for diabetics.

Abstract
Trypanothione synthetase (TryS) catalyses the synthesis of N1,N8-bis(glutathionyl)spermidine (trypanothione), which is the main low molecular mass thiol supporting several redox functions in trypanosomatids. TryS attracts attention as molecular target for drug development against pathogens causing severe and fatal diseases in mammals. A drug discovery campaign aimed to identify and characterise new inhibitors of TryS with promising biological activity was conducted. A large compound library (n = 51,624), most of them bearing drug-like properties, was primarily screened against TryS from Trypanosoma brucei (TbTryS). With a true-hit rate of 0.056%, several of the TbTryS hits (IC50 from 1.2 to 36 µM) also targeted the homologue enzyme from Leishmania infantum and Trypanosoma cruzi (IC50 values from 2.6 to 40 µM). Calmidazolium chloride and Ebselen stand out for their multi-species anti-TryS activity at low µM concentrations (IC50 from 2.6 to 13.8 µM). The moieties carboxy piperidine amide and amide methyl thiazole phenyl were identified as novel TbTryS inhibitor scaffolds. Several of the TryS hits presented one-digit µM EC50 against T. cruzi and L. donovani amastigotes but proved cytotoxic against the human osteosarcoma and macrophage host cells (selectivity index ≤ 3). In contrast, seven hits showed a significantly higher selectivity against T. b. brucei (selectivity index from 11 to 182). Non-invasive redox assays confirmed that Ebselen, a multi-TryS inhibitor, induces an intracellular oxidative milieu in bloodstream T. b. brucei. Kinetic and mass spectrometry analysis revealed that Ebselen is a slow-binding inhibitor that modifies irreversible a highly conserved cysteine residue from the TryS’s synthetase domain. The most potent TbTryS inhibitor (a singleton containing an adamantine moiety) exerted a non-covalent, non-competitive (with any of the substrates) inhibition of the enzyme. These data feed the drug discovery pipeline for trypanosomatids with novel and valuable information on chemical entities with drug potential.

Abstract
Drug interaction studies are imperative to gain insights into the beneficial or harmful effects of therapeutic and dietary agents. This study investigated the mechanism of modulatory roles of glycyrrhizin (GLH) and myricetin (MYC) on the human CYP3A4 isoform using in silico and in vitro methods. While MYC had concentration-dependent inhibitory effect on CYP3A4 (IC50 : 10.5 ± 0.55 μM) with characteristic Km and Vmax values of 1.13 μM and 1.54 nM/min, respectively, GLH exhibited no inhibitory effect on CYP3A4 activity in vitro. These observations are consistent with the results of in silico evaluations where the effect of MYC compared well with that of ketoconazole (a known CYP3A4 inhibitor) against CYP3A4. Overall, the established interactions between the study compounds and CYP3A4 could potentiate clinically vital drug-drug interactions and has lent credence to the mechanism of modulatory effect of MYC and GLH on CYP3A4 that could guide their safe use as therapeutic agents. PRACTICAL IMPLICATIONS: Myricetin (MYR) and glycyrrhizin (GLH) occur freely in commonly ingested foods and their supplements are recommended for the treatment of several debilitating diseases such as diabetes, cancer, and cardiovascular complications. This study provided an insight on the possible interactions that could be established between these compounds (MYR and GLH) and CYP3A4 when ingested and metabolized by the liver. The results suggested possibilities of potential clinical drug-drug interactions and advocates for their cautious use within the therapeutic dose in food supplements or medications to avoid probable liver damage.

Abstract
Fungal infections are prevalent in patients with immune diseases. Voriconazole, a triazole antifungal drug, inhibits the cytochromes CYP3A4 and CYP2C, and tofacitinib, a Janus kinase inhibitor for the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis, is metabolized by CYP3A4 and CYP2C19 in humans. Here, we investigated their interaction during simultaneous administration of both drugs to rats, either intravenously or orally. The area under the plasma concentration–time curve from time zero to time infinity (AUC) of tofacitinib was significantly greater, by 166% and 171%, respectively, and the time-averaged non-renal clearance (CLNR) of tofacitinib was significantly slower (59.5%) than that for tofacitinib alone. An in vitro metabolism study showed non-competitive inhibition of tofacitinib metabolism in the liver and intestine by voriconazole. The concentration/apparent inhibition constant (Ki) ratios of voriconazole were greater than two, indicating that the inhibition of tofacitinib metabolism could be due to the inhibition of the CYP3A1/2 and CYP2C11 enzymes by voriconazole. The pharmacokinetics of voriconazole were not affected by the co-administration of tofacitinib. In conclusion, the significantly greater AUC and slower CLNR of tofacitinib after intravenous and oral administration of both drugs were attributable to the non-competitive inhibition of tofacitinib metabolism via CYP3A1/2 and CYP2C11 by voriconazole in rats.

Abstract
In an ageing society, polypharmacy has become a major public health and economic issue. Overuse of medications, especially in patients with chronic diseases, carries major health risks. One common consequence of polypharmacy is the increased emergence of adverse drug events, mainly from drug–drug interactions. The majority of currently available drugs are metabolized by CYP450 enzymes. Interactions due to shared CYP450-mediated metabolic pathways for two or more drugs are frequent, especially through reversible or irreversible CYP450 inhibition. The magnitude of these interactions depends on several factors, including varying affinity and concentration of substrates, time delay between the administration of the drugs, and mechanisms of CYP450 inhibition. Various types of CYP450 inhibition (competitive, non-competitive, mechanism-based) have been observed clinically, and interactions of these types require a distinct clinical management strategy. This review focuses on mechanism-based inhibition, which occurs when a substrate forms a reactive intermediate, creating a stable enzyme–intermediate complex that irreversibly reduces enzyme activity. This type of inhibition can cause interactions with drugs such as omeprazole, paroxetine, macrolide antibiotics, or mirabegron. A good understanding of mechanism-based inhibition and proper clinical management is needed by clinicians when such drugs are prescribed. It is important to recognize mechanism-based inhibition since it cannot be prevented by separating the time of administration of the interacting drugs. Here, we provide a comprehensive overview of the different types of mechanism-based inhibition, along with illustrative examples of how mechanism-based inhibition might affect prescribing and clinical behaviors.

Abstract
The calcium channel blocker and antiarrhythmic agent verapamil is recommended by the FDA for drug–drug interaction (DDI) studies as a moderate clinical CYP3A4 index inhibitor and as a clinical Pgp inhibitor. The purpose of the presented work was to develop a mechanistic whole-body physiologically based pharmacokinetic (PBPK) model to investigate and predict DDIs with verapamil. The model was established in PK-Sim®, using 45 clinical studies (dosing range 0.1–250 mg), including literature as well as unpublished Boehringer Ingelheim data. The verapamil R- and S-enantiomers and their main metabolites R- and S-norverapamil are represented in the model. The processes implemented to describe the pharmacokinetics of verapamil and norverapamil include enantioselective plasma protein binding, enantioselective metabolism by CYP3A4, non-stereospecific Pgp transport, and passive glomerular filtration. To describe the auto-inhibitory and DDI potential, mechanism-based inactivation of CYP3A4 and non-competitive inhibition of Pgp by the verapamil and norverapamil enantiomers were incorporated based on in vitro literature. The resulting DDI performance was demonstrated by prediction of DDIs with midazolam, digoxin, rifampicin, and cimetidine, with 21/22 predicted DDI AUC ratios or Ctrough ratios within 1.5-fold of the observed values. The thoroughly built and qualified model will be freely available in the Open Systems Pharmacology model repository to support model-informed drug discovery and development.

Abstract
Petasites japonicus have been used since a long time in folk medicine to treat diseases including plague, pestilential fever, allergy, and inflammation in East Asia and European countries. Bioactive compounds that may prevent and treat infectious diseases are identified based on their ability to inhibit bacterial neuraminidase (NA). We aimed to isolate and identify bioactive compounds from leaves and stems of P. japonicas (PJA) and elucidate their mechanisms of NA inhibition. Key bioactive compounds of PJA responsible for NA inhibition were isolated using column chromatography, their chemical structures revealed using 1 H NMR, 13 C NMR, DEPT, and HMBC, and identified to be bakkenolide B (1), bakkenolide D (2), 1,5-di-O-caffeoylquinic acid (3), and 5-O-caffeoylquinic acid (4). Of these, 3 exhibited the most potent NA inhibitory activity (IC50 = 2.3 ± 0.4 μM). Enzyme kinetic studies revealed that 3 and 4 were competitive inhibitors, whereas 2 exhibited non-competitive inhibition. Furthermore, a molecular docking simulation revealed the binding affinity of these compounds to NA and their mechanism of inhibition. Negative-binding energies indicated high proximity of these compounds to the active site and allosteric sites of NA. Therefore, PJA has the potential to be further developed as an antibacterial agent for use against diseases associated with NA.

Abstract
Previously, it was suggested that the natural compound curcumin is an irreversible inhibitor of rhodesain, the major lysosomal cysteine protease of the protozoan parasite Trypanosoma brucei. The suggestion was based on a time-dependent inhibition of the enzyme by curcumin and a lack of recovery of activity of the enzyme after pre-incubation with curcumin. This study provides clear evidence that curcumin is a reversible, non-competitive inhibitor of rhodesain. In addition, the study also shows that the apparent irreversible inhibition of curcumin is only observed when no thiol-reducing reagent is included in the measuring buffer and insufficient solubilising agent is added to fully dissolve curcumin in the aqueous solution. Thus, the previous observation that curcumin acts as an irreversible inhibitor for rhodesain was based on a misinterpretation of experimental findings.

Abstract
Determine the inhibition mechanism through which cyclosporine inhibits the uptake and metabolism of atorvastatin in fresh rat hepatocytes using mechanistic models applied to data generated using a high throughput oil spin method.Atorvastatin was incubated in fresh rat hepatocytes (0.05-150 nmol/ml) with or without 20 min pre-incubation with 10 nmol/ml cyclosporine and sampled over 0.25-60 min using a high throughput oil spin method. Micro-rate constant and macro-rate constant mechanistic models were ranked based on goodness of fit values.The best fitting model to the data was a micro-rate constant mechanistic model including non-competitive inhibition of uptake and competitive inhibition of metabolism by cyclosporine (Model 2). The association rate constant for atorvastatin was 150-fold greater than the dissociation rate constant and 10-fold greater than the translocation into the cell. The association and dissociation rate constants for cyclosporine were 7-fold smaller and 10-fold greater, respectively, than atorvastatin. The simulated atorvastatin-transporter-cyclosporine complex derived using the micro-rate constant parameter estimates increased in line with the incubation concentration of atorvastatin.The increased amount of data generated with the high throughput oil spin method, combined with a micro-rate constant mechanistic model helps to explain the inhibition of uptake by cyclosporine following pre-incubation.

Abstract
The inhibition effect of the selected heavy metals (Ag+, Cd2+, Cu2+, and Hg2+) on glucose oxidase (GOx) enzyme from Aspergillus niger (EC 1.1.3.4.) was studied using a new amperometric biosensor with an electrochemical transducer based on a glassy carbon electrode (GCE) covered with a thin layer of multi-wall carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) incorporated with ruthenium(IV) oxide as a redox mediator. Direct adsorption of multi-wall carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) and subsequent covering with Nafion® layer was used for immobilization of Gox. The analytical figures of merit of the developed glucose (Glc) biosensor are sufficient for determination of Glc in body fluids in clinical analysis. From all tested heavy metals, mercury(II) has the highest inhibition effect. However, it is necessary to remember that cadmium and silver ions also significantly inhibit the catalytic activity of Gox. Therefore, the development of Gox biosensors for selective indirect determination of each heavy metal still represents a challenge in the field of bioelectroanalysis. It can be concluded that amperometric biosensors, differing in the utilized enzyme, could find their application in the toxicity studies of various poisons.

Abstract
Single-celled bacteria are capable of acting as a community by sensing and responding to population density via quorum signalling. Quorum signalling in Chromobacterium violaceum, mediated by the luxI/R homologue, cviI/R, regulates a variety of phenotypes including violacein pigmentation, virulence and biofilm formation. A number of biological and organic molecules have been described as quorum signalling inhibitors but, to date, metal-based inhibitors have not been widely tested. In this study, we show that quorum sensing is inhibited in C. violaceum in the presence of sub-lethal concentrations of cadmium salts. Notable Cd2+-inhibition was seen against pigmentation, motility, chitinase production and biofilm formation. Cd-inhibition of quorum-signalling genes occurred at the level of transcription. There was no direct inhibition of chitinase activity by Cd2+ at the concentrations tested. Addition of the cognate quorum signals, N-hexanoyl homoserine lactone or N-decanoyl homoserine lactone, even at concentrations in excess of physiological levels, did not reverse the inhibition, suggesting that Cd-inhibition of quorum signaling is irreversible. This study represents the first description of heavy metal-based quorum inhibition in C. violaceum.

Abstract
We investigated the molecular mechanisms involved in the angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibition by (-)-epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCg), a major tea catechin. EGCg inhibited both the ACE activity in the lysate of human colorectal cancer cells and human recombinant ACE (rh-ACE) in a dose-dependent manner. Co-incubation with zinc sulfate showed no influence on the rh-ACE inhibition by EGCg, whereas it completely counteracted the inhibitory effect of ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid, a chelating-type ACE inhibitor. Although hydrogen peroxide was produced by the autoxidation of EGCg, hydrogen peroxide itself had little effect on the ACE activity. Conversely, the co-incubation of EGCg with borate or ascorbic acid significantly diminished the EGCg inhibition. A redox-cycling staining experiment revealed that rh-ACE was covalently modified by EGCg. A Lineweaver-Burk plot analysis indicated that EGCg inhibited the ACE activity in a non-competitive manner. These results suggested that EGCg might allosterically inhibit the ACE activity through oxidative conversion into an electrophilic quinone.

Abstract
Here, we found a natural compound, embonic acid (EA), that can specifically inhibit the enzymatic activity of mitochondrial NAD(P)+-dependent malic enzyme (m-NAD(P)-ME, ME2) either in vitro or in vivo. The in vitro IC50 value of EA for m-NAD(P)-ME was 1.4 ± 0.4 μM. Mutagenesis and binding studies revealed that the putative binding site of EA on m-NAD(P)-ME is located at the fumarate binding site or at the dimer interface near the site. Inhibition studies reveal that EA displayed a non-competitive inhibition pattern, which demonstrated that the binding site of EA was distinct from the active site of the enzyme. Therefore, EA is thought to be an allosteric inhibitor of m-NAD(P)-ME. Both EA treatment and knockdown of m-NAD(P)-ME by shRNA inhibited the growth of H1299 cancer cells. The protein expression and mRNA synthesis of m-NAD(P)-ME in H1299 cells were not influenced by EA, suggesting that the EA-inhibited H1299 cell growth occurs through the suppression of in vivo m-NAD(P)-ME activity EA treatment further induced the cellular senescence of H1299 cells. However, down-regulation of the enzyme-induced cellular senescence was not through p53. Therefore, the EA-evoked senescence of H1299 cells may occur directly through the inhibition of ME2 or a p53-independent pathway.

Abstract
Selaginellin derivatives 1–3 isolated from Selaginellatamariscina were evaluated for their inhibition of soluble epoxide hydrolase (sEH) to demonstrate their potential for the treatment of cardiovascular disease. All selaginellin derivatives (1–3) inhibited sEH enzymatic activity and PHOME hydrolysis, in a dose-dependent manner, with IC50 values of 3.1 ± 0.1, 8.2 ± 2.2, and 4.2 ± 0.2 μM, respectively. We further determined that the derivatives function as non-competitive inhibitors. Moreover, the predicted that binding sites and interaction between 1–3 and sEH were solved by docking simulations. According to quantitative analysis, 1–3 were confirmed to have high content in the roots of S. tamariscina; among them, selaginellin 3 exhibited the highest content of 189.3 ± 0.0 μg/g.
