Various studies have reported the potential inhibition of these enzymes by natural compounds, leading to possible drug-herb interaction. One study reported that the MeOH extract of Cinnamomum burmani inhibited CYP3A4 in a mechanism-based mode. Further phytochemical investigation on this plant led to the isolation of 17 compounds including 2 new compounds: cinnamic aldehyde cyclic syringylglycerol 1,3-acetal (1) and 5'-hydroxy-5-hydroxymethyl-4'',5''-methylenedioxy-1,2,3,4-dibenzo-1,3,5-cycloheptatriene (2). The isolated constituents were tested for their preincubation time-dependent inhibition of CYP3A4 at 0 and 20 min. Only the new compound 2 showed an increase in the inhibitory activity to >50 % after 20-min preincubation. Further investigations of the inactivation by 2 displayed characteristics of a mechanism-based inactivator, with KI and kappainact values of 7.7 icroM and 0.04 min(-1), respectively. ## Keywords - Cinnamomum - CYP3A4 - Stereochemistry - Methylenedioxy - Chemistry - Enzyme - Cytochrome P450 - In vitro - Hydroxymethyl - Biochemistry - Organic chemistry - Cassia - Medicine - Alternative medicine - Pathology - Halogen - Traditional Chinese medicine - Alkyl --- Sumber: Discover Unhas — RIMS Universitas Hasanuddin.
