Pharmacokinetic study of the interaction between luteolin and magnoflorine in rats

Chemical Biology and Drug Design

Magnoflorine increased the systemic exposure and metabolic stability and suppressed the transport of luteolin. CaCO-2 cell transwell assay was employed for transport evaluation, and the metabolic stability of luteolin and CYP3A activity were assessed in rat liver microsomes.

Effect of ophiopogonin D on the pharmacokinetics and transport of cryptotanshinone during their co?administration and the potential mechanism

Chemical Biology and Drug Design

The co-administration of cryptotanshinone with ophiopogonin D induced pharmacokinetic interaction prolonging the systemic exposure and improving metabolic stability of cryptotanshinone. The Caco-2 cells were employed to evaluate the transport of cryptotanshinone, and the metabolic stability was studied in the rat liver microsomes.

N-glucuronidation: the human element

Metabolite Tales Blog

To curb glucuronidation at that position a gem-dimethyl group was incorporated which not only boosted metabolic stability, but also resulted in increased potency of the final lead compound. Figure 4: Optimisation of an IDO1 inhibitor incorporating installation of a gem-dimethyl group to control glucuronidation of a key hydroxyl group.
