1 The effects of four individual ginsenosides (Rb1, Rb2, Rc and Rd), two ginkgolides (A and B) and one flavonoid (quercetin) on CYP2C19-dependent S-mephenytoin 4 cent-hydroxylation and CYP2D6-mediated bufuralol 1 cent-hydroxylation were evaluated in human liver microsomes. Mephenytoin cytochrome P450 family 2 subfamily C member 19 Homo sapiens
2 Increasing concentrations of each test compound were added to microsomal incubation mixtures containing a well-characterized marker substrate (S-mephenytoin for CYP2C19 or bufuralol for CYP2D6) to determine their IC(50) values (compound concentration yielding 50% inhibition of a marker enzyme activity), which were estimated by graphical inspection.
