  • Title: Inhibitory effects of sesamin on CYP2C9-dependent 7-hydroxylation of S-warfarin.
    Author: Fujii M, Yasuda K, Sakaki T.
    Journal: Drug Metab Pharmacokinet; 2020 Aug; 35(4):368-373. PubMed ID: 32601017.
    Abstract:
    A recent report demonstrated that sesamin strongly and non-competitively inhibits S-warfarin 7-hydroxylation activity in human liver microsomes with a Ki value of 0.2 μM. This finding suggests that sesamin predominantly binds to CYP2C9 at another site for which it has a higher affinity than its affinity for the active site, thereby inhibiting the activity of CYP2C9 non-competitively. In this study, we found that sesamin competitively inhibited the 7-hydroxylation activity of S-warfarin in human liver microsomes with a Ki value of 15.7 μM. In addition, the recombinant CYP2C9-dependent 7-hydroxylation activity of S-warfarin was competitively inhibited by sesamin with a Ki value of 13.1 μM. These results are consistent with the fact that sesamin is a good substrate of CYP2C9, and its activity follows Michaelis-Menten kinetics. As the plasma concentration of sesamin after its administration is usually lower than 0.01 μM, the inhibition of S-warfarin metabolism by sesamin does not appear to be severe.
