Rhubarb decreased the systemic exposure of cyclosporine, a probe substrate of P-glycoprotein and CYP 3A

Abstract 1. Rhubarb, rhizome of Rheum palmatum L. (RP), is an important herb in clinical Chinese medicine. 2. Cyclosporine (CSP) is an immunosuppressant with narrow therapeutic window. The oral bioavailability of CSP was associated with P-glycoprotein (P-gp) and CYP 3A4. CSP was used as a probe substrate to investigate the in vivo modulation effects of RP on P-gp and CYP 3A. 3. Rats were orally administered 2.5 mg/kg of CSP with and without 0.25 and 1.0 g/kg of RP. The blood CSP concentration was determined by a specific monoclonal fluorescence polarization immunoassay. 4. Both dosages of RP significantly decreased the Cmax and AUC0–t of CSP in rats. Mechanism studies indicated that RP activated the functions of P-gp and CYP 3A. 5. RP ingestion reduced the systemic exposure of CSP through activating P-gp and CYP 3A.
