Furanocoumarins have been shown to inhibit CYP3A4 in vitro with varying degrees of potency [Pharmacogenetics1997, 7, 391–396; Chem. Res. Toxicol.1998, 11, 252–259; Drug Metab. Dispos.1997, 25, 1228–1233; Br. J. Pharmacol.2000, 130, 1369–1377]. In this study, we report the effects of a series of novel furanocoumarins based on the naturally occurring derivative 8-geranylepoxypsoralen which has been shown to be a more potent inhibitor of CYP3A4 than its 5-position-substituted counterpart bergamottin [Drug Metab. Dispos.2000, 28, 766–771; Jpn. J. Pharmacol.2000, 82, 122–129]. Compounds were designed, synthesised and tested for their ability to inhibit CYP3A4 activity in human liver microsomes using testosterone as the marker substrate. Both the saturated and unsaturated phenolic furanocoumarin derivatives were found to be inactive. However, the 8-alkyloxy-furanocoumarin analogues were shown to inhibit CYP3A4 activity in a dose dependent manner, with IC50 values ranging from 0.78 ± 0.11 to 3.93 ± 0.53 μM. The reduced furan derivative dihydro-8-geranyloxypsoralen showed a 4-fold decrease in inhibitory potency, suggesting that the furan moiety plays a role in the interaction between these compounds and CYP3A4.
The inhibitory effect of a series of 8-geranylpsoralens (1), an analogue of the 5-substituted counterpart bergamottin (2), on human CYP3A4 activity is described.Figure optionsDownload as PowerPoint slide
