Abstract
P-glycoprotein (P-gp) and CYP3A4 both play very important roles in drug bioavailability, resistance and interactions. Our in vitro studies indicated that P-gp function was activated by many isoflavones. This study investigated the in vivo effects of soymilk and miso, isoflavone-rich soy foods, on P-gp and CYP3A by tracing the pharmacokinetics of cyclosporine (CSP), a probe drug of P-gp. Rats were orally administered CSP with and without soymilk or miso. A specific monoclonal fluorescence polarisation immunoassay was used to determine the blood concentration of CSP. The results showed that soymilk and miso significantly decreased the Cmax of CSP by 64.5% and 78.3%, and reduced the AUC0-540 by 64.9% and 78.3%, respectively. Mechanism studies revealed that the activities of P-gp and CYP3A4 were induced by soymilk and miso. In conclusion, ingestion of soymilk and miso significantly activated the functions of P-gp and CYP3A.
