| Abstract: | Praeruptorin A (PA) and B (PB) are two important compounds isolated from Bai‐hua Qian‐hu and have been reported to exert multiple biochemical and pharmacological activities. The present study aims to determine the inhibition of PA and PB on the activity of important phase II drug‐metabolizing enzymes uridine 5'‐diphospho‐glucuronosyltransferase (UGTs) isoforms. In vitro UGT incubation system was used to determine the inhibition potential of PA and PB on the activity of various UGT isoforms. In silico docking was performed to explain the inhibition difference between PA and PB towards the activity of UGT1A6. Inhibition behaviour was determined, and in vitro–in vivo extrapolation was performed by using the combination of in vitro inhibition kinetic parameter (Ki) and in vivo exposure level of PA. Praeruptorin A (100 μM) exhibited the strongest inhibition on the activity of UGT1A6 and UGT2B7, with 97.8% and 90.1% activity inhibited by 100 μM of PA, respectively. In silico docking study indicates the significant contribution of hydrogen bond interaction towards the stronger inhibition of PA than PB towards UGT1A6. Praeruptorin A noncompetitively inhibited the activity of UGT1A6 and competitively inhibited the activity of UGT2B7. The inhibition kinetic parameter (Ki) of PA towards UGT1A6 and UGT2B7 was calculated to be 1.2 and 3.3 μM, respectively. The I]/Ki value was calculated to be 15.8 and 5.8 for the inhibition of PA on UGT1A6 and UGT2B7, indicating high inhibition potential of PA towards these two UGT isoforms in vivo. Therefore, closely monitoring the interaction between PA and drugs mainly undergoing UGT1A6 or UGT2B7‐catalyzed metabolism is very necessary. Copyright © 2016 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd. |
