Bergamottin, lime juice, and red wine as inhibitors of cytochrome P450 3a4 activity: comparison with grapefruit juice,
Bibliographic record
Abstract
OBJECTIVES: Our objective was to assess the importance of bergamottin in drug interactions through comparisons between grapefruit juice and lime juice and the potential for drug interactions with red wine. METHODS: Bergamottin content and in vitro reversible/irreversible inhibition of cytochrome P450 (CYP) 3A4 monooxygenase activities were determined for grapefruit and lime juices. The oral pharmacokinetics of felodipine and its primary metabolite (dehydrofelodipine) were determined with 250 mL of grapefruit juice, one quarter-strength lime juice, red wine, or water in a randomized crossover study. RESULTS: Bergamottin concentrations in grapefruit and lime juices were 25 and 100 micromol/L, respectively. For reversible inhibition, log volume-residual CYP3A4 activity relationships for grapefruit and lime juices had negative linear slopes that were parallel. The curve for grapefruit juice was 4.0-fold right-shifted, as compared with that for lime juice. For irreversible inhibition, the curves for grapefruit and lime juices were 4.0- and 1.4-fold left-shifted, as compared with those for reversible inhibition, respectively. Grapefruit juice increased the mean felodipine area under the plasma concentration-time curve (AUC) (mean +/- SE, 55 +/- 9 nmol. h/L versus 29 +/- 6 nmol. h/L; P <.05) and the plasma peak drug concentration (16 +/- 3 nmol/L versus 8 +/- 2 nmol/L, P <.05) and decreased the dehydrofelodipine/felodipine AUC ratio compared with those of water. One quarter-strength lime juice did not alter mean values. However, the changes in individual felodipine AUC after grapefruit juice and lime juice correlated (r(2) = 0.95) with a low slope (0.36). One quarter-strength lime juice more than doubled felodipine AUC and plasma peak drug concentration in 2 subjects. Red wine prolonged mean felodipine time to plasma peak drug concentration. Felodipine concentrations were low and peaked abruptly in 4 subjects. Adverse effects occurred in 1 subject. CONCLUSIONS: Bergamottin and reversible inhibition are not the primary substance and mechanism responsible for inhibition of CYP3A4 activity clinically. Red wine can cause dose dumping of extended-release felodipine in certain individuals.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
