- Paper Abstract
- The expression of cytochrome P450 is regulated by both endogenous factors and xenobiotics including chemical drugs and natural medicines. Induction on cytochrome P450 can reduce the therapeutic efficacy from drugs inactivated by this enzyme system, but may increase the efficacy or lead to intoxication for prodrugs. Shexiang Baoxin Pill (SBP) is a traditional Chinese medicine widely used for the treatment of angina pectoris and myocardial infarction in China and other oriental countries. To assess the potential of SBP to alter the activity and expression of cytochrome P450 3A (CYP3A) extensively involved in drug metabolism, we investigated the enzyme-inducing effects of SBP in HepG2 cells and in rats. The results showed that treatment with SBP increased the enzyme activity, mRNA levels and protein expression of CYP3A4 in a concentration-dependent manner in HepG2 cells. Moreover, treatment with SBP enhanced the activities and mRNA expressions of CYP3A1 and CYP3A2 ex vivo in rats. Furthermore, we utilized HepG2 cell line to identify individual components in SBP as potential inducers of CYP3A4. It was found that bufalin, cinobufagin, and resibufogenin were novel CYP3A4 inducers. Among them, bufalin and cinobufagin significantly promoted the CYP3A4 enzyme activity, mRNA and protein levels, with the maximal induction challenging or exceeding that of the induction by rifampicin, indicating that they might play a critical role in CYP3A4 enzyme-inducing effects of SBP. In addition, the metabolic studies with specific inhibitors of CYP isoforms suggested that the three CYP3A4 inducers in SBP are also the substrates for the enzyme. Overall, our results show that SBP contains constituents that can potently induce CYP3A and suggest that this traditional Chinese medicine should be examined clinically for potential drug metabolic interactions.
