Centella asiatica (CA) shows considerable promise for development as a botanical drug for cognitive decline. Its primary bioactive components include triterpene glycosides asiaticoside and madecassoside and their corresponding aglycons asiatic acid and madecassic acid. Exploration of the bioactivity of CA’s caffeoylquinic acids is ongoing. In this study, an aqueous extract of CA (CAW-R61J) was evaluated for drug interaction potential through inhibition or induction of P 450 enzymes, as required by the US Food and Drug Administration. CAW-R61J was assessed for induction potential of CYP1A2, CYP2B6, and CYP3A4 using transporter-certified cryopreserved human hepatocytes in sandwich culture. Gene expression of these target P450s was quantified, and enzyme activities were determined to confirm gene expression results. No induction was observed up to 16.7μg/mL CAW-R61J (equivalent to 1.1μM asiaticoside, 0.8μM madecassoside, 0.09μM asiatic acid, and 0.12μM madecassic acid). Reversible and time-dependent inhibitory effects of CAW-R61J on CYP1A2, CYP2B6, CYP2C8, CYP2C9, CYP2C19, CYP2D6, and CYP3A4/5 were evaluated using human liver microsomes. CAW-R61J showed weak reversible inhibition of most of the P 450 forms tested, with the strongest being CYP2C9 (IC50 of 330μg/mL). CAW-R61J (â?000μg/mL) was not a time-dependent inhibitor of any of these P 450 enzymes. In summary, CAW-R61J had no, or only a weak impact, on P 450 induction and inhibition in vitro. The clin. relevance of these results will depend on the in vivo concentration of CAW-R61J components achieved in humans. Plasma triterpene concentrations measured in our recent clin. studies suggest minimal risk of P 450-mediated drug interactions by these components.
