Abstract Background Cornin is a commonly used herb in cardiology for its cardioprotective effect. The effect of herbs on the activity of cytochrome P450 enzymes (CYP450s) can induce adverse drug-drug interaction even treatment failure. Therefore, it is necessary to investigate the effect of cornin on the activity of CYP450s, which can provide more guidance for the clinical application of cornin. Methods Cornin (100 μM) was incubated with eight isoforms of CYP450s, including CYP1A2, 2A6, 3A4, 2C8, 2C9, 2C19, 2D6, and 2E1, in pooled human liver microsomes. The inhibition model and corresponding parameters were also investigated. Results Cornin exerted significant inhibitory effect on the activity of CYP3A4, 2C9, and 2E1 in a dose-dependent manner with the IC50 values of 9.20, 22.91, and 14.28 μM, respectively (p < 0.05). Cornin inhibited the activity of CYP3A4 non-competitively with the Ki value of 4.69 μM, while the inhibition of CYP2C9 and 2E1 by cornin was competitive with the Ki value of 11.31 and 6.54 μM, respectively. Additionally, the inhibition of CYP3A4 by cornin was found to be time-dependent with the KI/Kinact value of 6.40/0.055 min− 1·μM− 1. Conclusions The inhibitory effect of cornin on the activity of CYP3A4, 2C9, and 2E1 indicated the potential drug-drug interaction between cornin and drugs metabolized by these CYP450s, which needs further investigation and validation.

AbstractTurmeric, a popular ingredient in the cuisine of many Asian countries, comes from the roots of theCurcuma longaand is known for its use in Chinese and Ayurvedic medicine. Turmeric is rich in curcuminoids, including curcumin, demethoxycurcumin, and bisdemethoxycurcumin. Curcuminoids have potent wound healing, anti-inflammatory, and anti-carcinogenic activities. While curcuminoids have been studied for many years, not much is known about their effects on steroid metabolism. Since many anti-cancer drugs target enzymes from the steroidogenic pathway, we tested the effect of curcuminoids on cytochrome P450 CYP17A1, CYP21A2, and CYP19A1 enzyme activities. When using 10 µg/ml of curcuminoids, both the 17α-hydroxylase as well as 17,20 lyase activities of CYP17A1 were reduced significantly. On the other hand, only a mild reduction in CYP21A2 activity was observed. Furthermore, CYP19A1 activity was also reduced up to ~20% of control when using 1-100 µg/ml of curcuminoids in a dose-dependent manner. Molecular docking studies confirmed that curcumin could dock into the active sites of CYP17A1, CYP19A1 as well as CYP21A2. In CYP17A1 and CYP19A1, curcumin docked within 2.5 Å of central heme while in CYP21A2 the distance from heme was 3.4 Å, which is still in the same range or lower than distances of bound steroid substrates. These studies suggest that curcuminoids may cause inhibition of steroid metabolism, especially at higher dosages. Also, the recent popularity of turmeric powder as a dilatory supplement needs further evaluation for the effect of curcuminoids on steroid metabolism. Molecular structure of curcuminoids could be modified to generate better lead compounds with inhibitory effects on CYP17A1 and CYP19A1 for potential drugs against prostate cancer and breast cancer.

AbstractThis study assessed the inhibitory effects of Garcinia cambogia extract on the cytochrome P450 enzymes in vitro. G. cambogia extract was incubated with cytochrome P450 isozyme-specific substrates in human liver microsomes and recombinant CYP2B6 isozyme, and the formation of the marker metabolites was measured to investigate the inhibitory potential on cytochrome P450 enzyme activities. The results showed that G. cambogia extract has significant inhibitory effects on CYP2B6 activity in a concentration-dependent manner. Furthermore, the inhibition was potentiated following preincubation with NADPH, indicating that G. cambogia extract is a time-dependent inhibitor of CYP2B6. Meanwhile, hydroxycitric acid, the major bioactive ingredient of G. cambogia extract, did not exhibit significant inhibition effects on cytochrome P450 enzyme activities. G. cambogia extract could modulate the pharmacokinetics of CYP2B6 substrate drugs and lead to interactions with those drugs. Therefore, caution may be required with respect to concomitant intake of dietary supplements containing G. cambogia extract with CYP2B6 substrates.

Turmeric is a popular ingredient in the cuisine of many Asian countries. Turmeric is known for its use in Chinese and Ayurvedic medicine and comes from the roots of the Curcuma longa. Turmeric is rich in curcuminoids, including curcumin, demethoxycurcumin, and bisdemethoxycurcumin. Curcumin has potent anti-inflammatory and anti-carcinogenic activities. Since many anti-cancer drugs target enzymes from the steroidogenic pathway, we tested the bioactivity of curcuminoids on cytochrome P450 CYP17A1, CYP21A2, and CYP19A1 enzyme activities. Curcuminoids were extracted from turmeric with organic solvents. We conducted a cell-based assay for CYP17A1 and CYP21A2 activities using human adrenal cell line NCI-H295R. 3H-pregnenolone was used for CYP17A1 assays, and 3H-17alpha-hydroxyprogesterone was used as a substrate for CYP21A2. Curcuminoids were added at different concentrations and incubated for 24h. Steroids were separated by thin layer chromatography and analyzed by phosphorimager analysis. For CYP19A1 activity, an in vitro assay using endoplasmic reticulum from JEG3 were used with 3H-androstenedione as the substrate. Curcuminoids were incubated for 1h, and the formation of 3H-water from the androstenedione breakdown was measured by scintillation counting. When using 10 &micro;g/ml of curcuminoids, both the 17-hydroxylase as well as 17,20 lyase activities of CYP17A1 were reduced significantly. On the other hand, CYP21A2 activity was only reduced to ~50% control. Furthermore, CYP19A1 activity was reduced to ~20% of control when using 1-100 &micro;g/ml of curcuminoids in a dose-dependent manner. No effect on the activity of 5alpha reductase for the conversion of androstenedione to androstanedione was observed. Molecular docking studies confirmed that curcumin could dock into the active sites of CYP17A1, CYP19A1 as well as CYP21A2. In CYP17A1 and CYP19A1, curcumin docked within 2.5 &Aring; of central heme while in CYP21A2 the distance from heme was 3.4 &Aring;, which is still in the same range or lower than distances of bound steroid substrates. These studies show that curcuminoids may potentially cause inhibition of steroid metabolism, especially at higher dosages. The activities of CYP17A1 and CYP19A1 were inhibited by curcuminoids, which indicate potential anti-carcinogenic effects in case of prostate cancer as well as breast cancer, which can be targeted by inhibition of steroidogenesis. Also, the recent popularity of turmeric powder/curcumin as a dilatory supplement needs further evaluation for the effect of curcuminoids on steroid metabolism. Curcuminoids present in curcumin may affect activities of multiple steroid metabolizing cytochrome P450 enzymes. Computational docking suggests curcumin binds into the active sites of steroid metabolizing P450s and may serve as a model for lead discovery. Molecular structure of curcuminoids could be modified to generate better lead compounds with inhibitory effects on CYP17A1 and CYP19A1 for potential drugs against prostate cancer and breast cancer.
