Grapefruit juice is a potent inhibitor of CYP3A4‐mediated drug metabolism. We wanted to investigate how long the inhibitory effect of grapefruit juice lasts, with the CYP3A4 substrate simvastatin used as a model drug.

Drug Interactions with Grapefruit Juice

The consistent findings across studies of diverse cytochrome P450 (CYP3A) 3A substrates support the mechanistic hypothesis that 1 or more grapefruit juice components inhibit CYP3A enzymes in the gastrointestinal tract.

Grapefruit juice-drug interactions.

In vitro findings support the flavonoid, naringin, or the furanocoumarin, 6',7'-dihydroxybergamottin, as being active ingredients, but a recent investigation indicated that neither of these substances made a major contribution to grapefruit juice-drug interactions in humans.

Grapefruit juice–felodipine interaction: Mechanism, predictability, and effect of naringin

Intersubject changes in felodipine and dehydrofelodipines AUC supported inhibition of both primary and secondary metabolic steps as a mechanism, and the interaction could not be predicted from baseline pharmacokinetics with water and did not result in more consistent bioavailability among individuals.

Effect of grapefruit juice and naringin on nisoldipine pharmacokinetics

Current information supports the cautioning of patients about concomitant ingestion of grapefruit juice and nisoldipine, and the interaction could not be predicted from baseline pharmacokinetics with water and resulted in greater interindividual variability.
