Modulation of erlotinib pharmacokinetics in mice by a novel cytochrome P450 3A4 inhibitor, BAS 100

Administration of BAS 100, a novel mechanism-based CYP3A4 inhibitor isolated from grapefruit juice, resulted in a 2.1-fold increase in erlotinib exposure following oral administration to wild-type and humanised CYP3A4 transgenic mice. This study illustrates the potential of BAS 100 to increase the l...

Zusammenfassung:Administration of BAS 100, a novel mechanism-based CYP3A4 inhibitor isolated from grapefruit juice, resulted in a 2.1-fold increase in erlotinib exposure following oral administration to wild-type and humanised CYP3A4 transgenic mice. This study illustrates the potential of BAS 100 to increase the low and variable oral bioavailability of erlotinib in cancer patients.
