Abstract: AIM: To predict the herb-drug interactions in clinical application, Huanglianjiedu Decoction was evaluated for its in vitro inhibition effect on 6 cytochrome P450 isoforms (CYP1A2, CYP2C8, CYP2C9, CYP2C19, CYP2D6 and CYP3A4) in human liver microsomes.METHODS: Seven metabolites of cytochrome P450 probe substrate (including Paracetamol for CYP1A2, 6α- Hydroxypaclitaxel for CYP2C8, 4-Hydroxydiclofenac for CYP2C9, 4-Hydroxymephenytoin for CYP2C19, Dextrorphan for CYP2D6, 6β-Hydroxytestosterone and 1-Hydroxymidazolam for CYP3A4) were simultaneously measured by LC-MS/MS. Huanglianjiedu Decoction was incubated with human liver microsomes in the presence of seven probe substrates of CYP450 isforms, and the inhibitory effect were evaluated with IC50 values.RESULTS: IC50 value of Huanglianjiedu Decoction on CYP2D6 and CYP1A2 were 3.54 and 10.8 μg/mL, and the other IC50 values were 67.7, 299, 530, 199 and 607 μg/mL with respect to CYP2C8, CYP2C9, CYP2C19, CYP3A4_T and CYP3A4_M isoforms.CONCLUSION: Huanglianjiedu Decoction shows inhibitory effect on CYP2D6 and CYP1A2, but minor inhibitory effects on CYP2C8, CYP2C9, CYP2C19 and CYP3A4.
