Abstract

Corydaline is a bioactive alkaloid with various antiacetylcholinesterase, antiallergic, and antinociceptive activities found in the medicinal herb Corydalis Tubers. The inhibitory potential of corydaline on the activities of seven major human cytochrome P450 and four UDP-glucuronosyltransferase enzymes in human liver microsomes was investigated using LC-tandem MS. Corydaline was found to inhibit CYP2C19-catalyzed S-mephenytoin-4'-hydroxylatoin and CYP2C9-catalyzed diclofenac 4-hydroxylation, with Ki values of 1.7 and 7.0 μM, respectively. Corydaline also demonstrated moderate inhibition of UGT1A1-mediated 17β-estradiol 3-glucuronidation and UGT1A9-mediated propofol glucuronidation with K i values of 57.6 and 37.3 μM, respectively. In the presence of corydaline, CYP3A-mediated midazolam hydroxylation showed a decrease with increasing preincubation time in a dose-dependent manner with Ki values of 30.0 μM. These in vitro results suggest that corydaline should be evaluated for potential pharmacokinetic drug interactions in vivo due to potent inhibition of CYP2C19 and CYP2C9.
