摘要

Objective: To determine the effects of plant extract, nicotine and caffeine on the activities of the liver metabolizing-enzyme induced by pentobarbitone. Materials and Method: Seven groups of mice were pretreated with high doses of sample extracts (0.4 mg/g body weight sample extract, but nicotine at 0.1 mg/g body weight) and one control group was pretreated with saline. On day 5, pentobarbitone (0.005 ml of 8 mg/ml) was administered and the sleeping time was determined. The test was repeated but at low doses (0.1 mg/g body weight sample extract, but nicotine at 0.05mg/g body weight). Results: At high doses, bitter gourd, 'tempeh', nicotine, caffeine, nicotine+bitter gourd, nicotine+'tempeh' and nicotine+caffeine induced the activities of liver metabolizing enzyme significantly compared to control. At low doses, bitter gourd, nicotine, caffeine, nicotine+bitter gourd, nicotine+'tempeh' and nicotine+caffeine induced the enzyme but 'tempeh' did not. Conclusion: The findings suggest that bitter gourd, nicotine and caffeine act as enzyme inducers, but 'tempeh' only demonstrate this ability at high dose.

Some plant extracts such as leaves of Helietta apiculata [2] and grape fruit juices [3] have been documented to have certain effects on the activity of cytochrome P450. Cytochrome P450 is responsible for the metabolism of a large proportion of drugs [1]. Whenever two or more drugs are administered concurrently, the possibility of drug interaction exist [4]. Drug-drug interactions can be explained by alterations in the metabolic enzymes that are present in the liver and other extrahepatic tissues. Many of the major pharmacokinetic interactions between drugs are due to hepatic cytochrome P450 (P450 or CYP) enzymes being affected by previous administration of other drugs. After coadministration, some drugs act as potent enzyme inducers, whereas others as inhibitors [5].In this study, the effect of bitter gourd (Momordica charantia), ‘tempeh', nicotine and caffeine on liver metabolizing enzymes were assessed. Bitter gourd is a well known tropical vegetable in South East Asia. ‘Tempeh' also known as soy cake is made from fermented soy beans and is widely consumed in daily diet in Malaysia and Indonesia. Nicotine is a major substance found in tobacco while caffeine is found in coffee, soft drinks and other beverages. The effects of these chosen sample extracts on the activity of liver metabolizing enzyme cytochrome P450, were determined by measuring the sleeping time induced by pentobarbitone. Pentobarbitone is known to be metabolized by cytochrome P450 [6]. This study also investigated the effects of different doses of these sample extracts in affecting activity of the liver metabolizing enzymes. This was done as the literature has reported that metabolic drug interaction may depend on the magnitude of the change in the concentration of active species (parent drug and/or active metabolites) at the site of pharmacological action and the therapeutic index of the drug. The smaller the difference between toxic and effective concentration, the greater the likelihood that the drug interaction will have serious clinical consequences [7]. Materials and methods MaterialsThe study was carried out on mice (2 batches of 7 groups (10 mice per group)). The mice were maintained under standard laboratory conditions of food and water before the start of the experiment. The handling of mice was conducted in accordance with the Guiding Principles in the Use of Animals in Toxicology, which was adopted by the
