Effects of Cyclamen Trochopteranthum on Hepatic Drug-metabolizing Enzymes

چکیده
The modulatory effects of the Cyclamen trochopterantum tuber extract on hepatic drug-metabolizing enzymes, including aniline 4-hydroxylase (A4H; CYP2E1), ethoxyresorufin O-deethylase (EROD; CYP1A), methoxyresorufin O-demethylase (MROD; CYP1A), caffeine N-demethylase (C3ND; CYP1A2) aminopyrene N-demethylase (APND; CYP2C6), and erythromycin N-demethylase (ERND; CYP3A1), were examined in vivo in rats. The activities of all of these enzymes were induced by the cyclamen extract. In addition, Western-blot and RT-PCR results clearly showed that CYP2E1, CYP1A1/CYP1A2 and CYP2C6 protein and mRNA levels were substantially increased by four different doses of cyclamen. Although, the CYP3A1 protein level was increased significantly, the mRNA level was not changed. These results indicate that cyclamen tuber extract might have a potential not only to inhibit and/or induce the metabolism of certain co-administered drugs but also influence the development of toxicity and carcinogenesis due to the induction of the cytochrome P450-dependent drug-metabolizing enzymes.

The effects of fenvalerate on hepatic and cerebral xenobiotic metabolizing enzymes in selenium and/or iodine deficient rats
Objective(s): Particularly in developing countries, selenium and/or iodine deficiencies are encountered and use of pesticides in agriculture are not well-controlled. Fenvalerate is a pyrethroid insectide used in agriculture and has applications against a wide range of pests. This study was designed to evaluate the effects of fenvalerate on hepatic and cerebral xenobiotic metabolizing enzyme act...

CVT-E002, a proprietary extract from North American ginseng (Panax quinquefolium) showed immunomodulating activity. Cytochrome P450 (CYP), UDP-glucuronosyl transferase (UGT), and glutathione S-transferase (GST) are important drug-metabolizing enzymes. Modulation of drugmetabolizing enzymes is a main cause of drug interactions. To assess the possible metabolism-based drug interaction of CVT-E002...

Alterations of the hepatic xenobiotic-metabolizing enzymes by a glucosinolate-rich diet in germ-free rats: influence of a pre-induction with phenobarbital.
Germ-free growing rats were fed on a glucosinolate-rich diet (rapeseed-meal-based) and compared with counterparts fed on a glucosinolate-free diet (soya-bean-meal-based), both diets being isonitrogenous and isoenergetic. For each diet half the animals received phenobarbital in drinking water as an inducer of xenobiotic-metabolizing enzymes. Some of the usual deleterious glucosinolate-linked eff...
متن کاملEffect of 4-(4-chlorobenzyl)pyridine on rat hepatic microsomal cytochrome P450 and drug-metabolizing enzymes in vivo and in vitro.
The effect of 4-(4-chlorobenzyl)pyridine (4-CBP) on rat hepatic microsomal cytochrome P450 (P450) and its molecular species (CYP2B1, 2E1, 3A2, 2C11, and 2C12), and on drug-metabolizing enzyme activities were examined in vivo and in vitro. Treatment of rats with 4-CBP resulted in the induction of P450 and drug-metabolizing enzymes in a dose-dependent manner, but it was markedly inhibitory at hig...
