curcumin-glucuronide and bosutinib

This study aimed to investigate the potential pharmacokinetic interactions between curcumin, imatinib and bosutinib, combining In Vitro and in silico methods.. In Vitro metabolism of imatinib and bosutinib were investigated in pooled human liver microsomes and recombinant CYP3A4 enzyme in the presence and absence of curcumin and curcumin glucuronide using an LC-MS/MS assay for N-desmethyl metabolites. A physiologically-based pharmacokinetic (PBPK) model for curcumin formulated as solid lipid nanoparticles (SLN) was constructed using In Vitro glucuronidation kinetics and published clinical pharmacokinetic data. The potential effects of curcumin coadministration on systemic exposures of imatinib and bosutinib were predicted in silico using PBPK simulations.. Curcumin demonstrated potent reversible inhibition of cytochrome P450 (CYP)3A4-mediated N-demethylation of imatinib and bosutinib and CYP2C8-mediated metabolism of imatinib with inhibitory constants (k. A PBPK model for curcumin in a SLN formulation was successfully developed. Although curcumin possesses a strong In Vitro inhibitory activity towards CYP3A4 and CYP2C8 enzymes, its interactions with imatinib and bosutinib were unlikely to be of clinical importance due to curcumin's poor bioavailability.
