Abstract

Background: Agarwood tea derived from Aquilaria malaccensis Lamk is becoming an increasingly popular herbal drink that is said to have multiple health benefits. Co-administration of this tea and clinical used drugs is possible, but it increases the risk of drug-herb interactions.

Objective: This in vitro study investigated the inhibitory effects of agarwood tea aqueous extract on the eight major human drug-metabolising cytochrome P450 (CYP) enzyme activities.

Methods: High-throughput fluorescence-based Vivid® CYP450 screening kits were employed to obtain the enzyme activities before and after incubation with agarwood tea aqueous extract.

Results: Agarwood aqueous extract potently inhibited CYP2C9, CYP2D6, and CYP3A4 activities with Ki values of 5.1, 34.5, and 20.3μg/ml, respectively. The most likely inhibition mode responsible for these inhibitions was non-competitive inhibition. On the other hand, at 1000μg/ml, agarwood tea aqueous extract negligibly inhibited CYP1A2, CYP2B6, CYP2C19, CYP2E1, and CYP3A5 activities.

Conclusion: These findings can be used to design additional in vitro investigations using clinical relevant drug substrates for CYP2C9, CYP2D6, and CYP3A4. Subsequently, future studies can be conducted to determine potential interactions between agarwood tea aqueous extract and CYP using in vivo models.

Keywords: Agarwood tea, Aquilaria malaccensis, cytochrome P450, CYP, drug-herb interactions, enzyme inhibition.
