Modulatory effects of Benjakul extract on rat hepatic cytochrome P450 enzymes
Benjakul, a traditional Thai formulation, has been used as a carminative and adaptogenic drug. It consists of five plants, Piper chaba Hunter, Piper sarmentosum Roxb., Piper interruptum Opiz., Plumbago indica Linn., and Zingiber officinale Roscoe, in equal ratios. Some individual herbs present in Be...

Adult male rats were orally administered 200, 400, or 600 mg/kg BW Benjakul extract for 28 days. Serum alanine aminotransferase (ALT), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), blood urea nitrogen (BUN) and creatinine levels were assayed. CYP2C11 and CYP3A1 activities were analyzed using cytochrome P450 assay kits. The mRNA expression of CYP2C11 and CYP3A1 was measured using a quantitative real-time PCR assay. Benjakul treatment significantly increased the serum ALT and BUN levels. At doses of 200, 400, and 600 mg/kg BW, Benjakul treatment increased hepatic CYP3A1 activity and CYP3A1 mRNA expression. CYP2C11 mRNA expression was unchanged by treatment with Benjakul extract; however, treatment with the high and middle doses of Benjakul extract increased CYP2C11 activity.
