6',7'-DIHYDROXYBERGAMOTTIN Chemische Eigenschaften,Einsatz,Produktion Methoden
Beschreibung
6,7-
dihydroxy Bergamottin (6,7-
DHB) is a potent inhibitor of CYP3A4 (IC
50 = 25 μM). It appears to be the primary compound in grapefruit juice that is responsible for inhibition of testosterone 6β-
hydrolase activity. Ingestion of grapefruit juice during treatment regimes with drugs normally metabolized by cytochrome P450 enzymes of the CYP3A subfamily results in a substantial increase in plasma concentration of these agents. However, giving a patient grapefruit juice or just 6,7-
DHB could be advantageous in cases where a drug is metabolized too quickly by CYP3A4.
Verwenden
A minor metabolite of Bergamottin. Metabolization of Bergamottin by cytochromes P 450 2B6 and 3A5.
Biochem/physiol Actions
CYP3A4 inhibitor.
