The aim of present study is to investigate the effect of naringin on the pharmacokinetics of verapamil and its major metabolite, norverapamil in rabbits. The pharmacokinetic parameters of verapamil and norverapamil were determined after administering verapamil (9 mg/kg) orally to rabbits in the pretreated with naringin (1.5, 7.5, and 15 mg/kg). Naringin pretreatment significantly altered the pharmacokinetic parameters of verapamil. Compared with the control group (given verapamil alone), the $K_a,\;C_{max}$ and AUC of verapamil were significantly (p<0.05 or p<0.01) increased in the pretreatment of naringin, However there were no significant change in $T_{max}\;and\;t_{1/2}$ of verapamil. Consequently, pretreatment of naringin significantly (p<0.05, p<0.01) increased the AB% of verapamil significantly in a dose dependent manner (p<0.05 or p<0.01 ), and elevated the RB% of verapamil by 1.26- to 1.69-fold. the MR of verapamil were significantly (p<0.05) increased in the pretreatment of naringin, implying that pretreatment of naringin may effectively inhibit the CYP3A4-mediated metabolism of verapamil. In conclusion, pretreatment of naringin enhanced the oral bioavailability of verapamil. Based on these results, the verapamil dosage should be adjusted when given with naringin or a naringin-containing dietary supplement.

목적: 본 연구는 천연항균물질인 나린진을 소프트 콘택트렌즈 수지용액에 첨가하여 소프트 콘택트렌즈를 제조하고, 제조된 콘택트렌즈에서 용출된 용액의 광학적 특성과 나린진의 물리화학적인 상태 그리고 식염수에서의 용출 특성 등에 대해 살펴보고자 하였다. 방법: 나린진이 첨가된 콘택트렌즈는 벌크(bulk)중합 방식을 이용하여 제조하였고, 제조된 나린진이 첨가된 콘택트렌즈에서 나린진의 결합상태와 식염수로의 나린진 용출과정, 그리고 시간에 따른 나린진의 용출량 등은 적외선 스펙트럼(IR spectrum)과 고성능 액체 크로마토그래피(HPLC)를 이용하여 살펴보았다. 결과: 나린진이 첨가된 콘택트렌즈에서 나린진의 용출은 일정농도를 유지하면서 약 1개월 동안 지속되었고, 용출된 나린진은 첨가하기 전과 동일한 구조를 유지하고 있었으며 투과율과 같은 광학적 특성 변화는 관찰할 수 없었다. IR spectrum과 HPLC 결과로부터 콘택트렌즈 내에서 나린진의 구조와 결합상태를 확인하였다. 결론: 나린진이 첨가된 콘택트렌즈에서 나린진은 폴리머 분자와 반데르발스(van der Waals) 인력이나 나린진 분자의 수산기 (hydroxyl group)와 약한 수소결합(hydrogen bonding)에 의해 상호 결합되어 있는 것으로 판단되었다. 나린진이 첨가된 콘택트렌즈로부터 나린진은 약 1개월 동안 일정농도씩 꾸준히 용출되었으며 1개월 후에도 하루 동안 용출된 나린진의 농도가 약 10 ppm으로 나타나 일정기간 동안 항균력의 유지가 지속적으로 필요한 소프트 콘택트렌즈의 제조에 나린진을 첨가하는 방법이 매우 효과적임을 알 수 있었다.

본 연구에서는 항고지혈, 항당뇨, 항동맥경화 등의 기능성이 잘 알려진 naringin을 이용하여 빛, 열, 산소 등의 산화환경을 개선시킴으로써 지질대사 개선에 대한 유용성이 증가되는지를 알아보고자 하였다. 즉, 불안정한 naringin 등의 flavonoid를 cyclodextrin 분자의 소수성 공동에 포접시켜 안정성을 증가시킴으로써 지질대사가 naringin 단독 보충에 비해 개선되는지를 분석하고, 이 연구 결과를 토대로 건강 기능식품에 적용 가능한지에 대한 여부를 검토하고자 하였다. 이에 20% 고지방식이에 0.02% naringin 및 naringin이 0.02% 첨가되도록 CD-naringin 량을 조절하여 10주간 C57BL/6 mice에 보충한 결과, 체중 및 식이 섭취량에는 차이가 없었으나, HFC 군에 비해 CD-N군 및 N군에서 백색지방 무게가 유의적으로 감소되었다. 뿐만 아니라, CD-N군 및 N군에서 혈장 총콜레스테롤, 유리지방산, 혈당 및 간 조직 콜레스테롤과 중성지방 농도가 HFC군에 비해 유의적으로 감소하였고, 혈장 HDL-콜레스테롤 농도는 유의적으로 증가하였다. 혈장 및 간조직 지질 농도는 간 조직 지질대사 관련 효소 활성도와 일치하는 경향을 보여주었는데, CD-naringin 및 naringin 보충은 지방산 산화 증가에는 효과가 없었으나, 간 조직 지방산, 중성지방 및 콜레스테롤 합성 억제에는 매우 효과적인 것으로 나타났다. 또한 지질대사 관련 호르몬 및 adipokine 농도 비교결과, 혈장 인슐린 농도는 CD-naringin 및 naringin 보충에 의해 유의 적으로 감소되었으나, leptin, adiponectin, resistin, IL-$1{\beta}$, IL-6 등은 유의적인 차이를 나타내지 않았다. 또한 췌장 lipase 억제제로서 비만 치료제로 이용되고 있는 orlistat에 비해 지질대사 개선 효과가 비슷하게 나타났으나, orlistat와는 다른 기전에 의한 지질대사 개선 효과로 보인다. 결론적으로, CD-naringin inclusion complex 및 naringin 단독 보충은 장기간의 고지방식이에 의한 지질대사 이상 및 인슐린 저항성 개선 효능을 기대해 볼 수 있으나, 혈장 leptin, resistin, IL-$1{\beta}$ 등의 염증성, 인슐린 저항성을 증가시키는 호르몬/adipokine 농도 감소 및 인슐린 저항성 개선 또는 항염증성 adipokine인 혈장 adiponectin 및 IL-6 농도 증가에 대한 효과는 나타나지 않는 것으로 판단되며, 두 물질의 효능 차이 또한 나타나지 않아 건강기능식품에 적용하기 위해서는 항산화 효과에 대한 CD-naringin의 유용성 연구가 필요할 것으로 판단된다.

The present study was to investigate the effect of naringin, a flavonoid, on the pharmacokinetics of losartan in rats. Pharmacokinetic parameters of losartan in rats were determined after an oral administration of losartan (9 mg/kg) in the presence or absence of naringin (0.5, 2.5 and 10 mg/kg). The pharmacokinetic parameters of losartan were significantly altered by the presence of naringin compared with the control group (given losartan alone). Presence of naringin significantly (p<0.05, 2.5 mg/kg; p<0.01, 10 mg/kg) increased the area under the plasma concentration?time curve (AUC) of losartan by 43.7~63.0% and peak plasma concentration ($C_{max}$) of losartan by 31.7~45.5%. Consequently, the absolute bioavailability (AB) of losartan in the presence of naringin was 43.8~62.9%, which was enhanced significantly (p<0.05, p<0.01) compared to that in the oral control group (22.4%). The relative bioavailability (R.B.) of losartan increased by 1.44- to 1.63-fold in the presence of naringin. However, there was no significant change in the peak plasma concentration ($T_{max}$) and terminal half-life ($t_{1/2}$) of losartan in the presence of naringin. In conclusion, the presence of naringin significantly enhanced the oral bioavailability of losartan, implying that presence of naringin might be mainly effective to inhibit the cytochrome P450 (CYP)3A-mediated metabolism, resulting in reducing gastrointestinal and hepatic first-pass metabilism and Pglycoprotein (P-gp)-mediated efflux of losartan in small intestine. Concurrent use of naringin or naringin-containing dietary supplement with losartan should require close monitoring for potential drug interactions.

The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of naringin on the pharmacokinetics of tamoxifen in rats. Tamoxifen (10 mg/kg) was administered orally 0.5 h and 3 days after oral administration of naringin (5 mg/kg). The plasma concentrations of tamoxifen were increased significantly tv naringin compared to control. Absorption rate constant ($K_a$) of tamoxifen with naringin was increased significantly compared to that of the control. The areas under the plasma concentration-time curve (AUC) and the peak concentrations ($C_{max}$) of tamoxifen with naringin were significantly higher than those of the control. Consequently, the relative bioavailability (R.B${\%}$) of tamoxifen with naringin was 2-3-fold higher than the control, and absolute bioavailability (A.B${\%}$) of tamoxifen were significantly higher (p<0.05 with coadministration, p<0.01 with pretreatment) than those of the control. The increased bioavailability of tamoxifen in rats with naringin might be associated with the inhibition by naringin of an efflux pump P-glycoprotein and the first-pass metabolizing enzyme CYP3A4.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of naringin pretreatment on the bioavailability and phar-macokinetics of diltiazem and one of its metabolites, deacetyldiltiazem, in rabbits. Pharmacokinetic parameters of diltiazem and deacetyldiltiazem were determined after oral administration of diltiazem (15 mg/kg) pretreated with naringin (1.5, 7.5 and 15 mg/kg). Absorption rate constant ($k_a$) of diltiazem after oral administration of diltiazem pretreated with naringin was significantly (p<0.05 or p<0.0l) increased compared to the control group. Area under the plasma concentration-time curve (AUC) and peak concentration ($C_{max}$) of the diltiazem were significantly (p<0.05 or p<0.01) higher than those of the control. Absolute bioavailability ($AB\%$) of diltiazem pretreated with naringin ranged from $13.5\%$ to $18.6\%$, being enhanced compared to that of the control, $7.2\%$. Relative bioavailability ($RB\%$) of diltiazem was $1.9\~2.6$ times higher than that of the control group. There was no significant change in terminal half-life ($t_{1/2}$) and $T_{max}$ of diltiazem in the presence of naringin. AUC of deacetyldiltiazem pretreated with naringin was significantly (p<0.05) higher than (p<0.05) that of the control. But the metabolite ratios (MR) were significantly decreased (p<0.05), implying that pretreatment of naringin could be effective to inhibit the CYP 3A4-mediated metabolism of diltiazem. In this study, pretreatment of naringin significantly enhanced the oral bioavailability of diltiazem. These results suggested that the diltiazem dosage should be adjusted when it is administered with naringin or a naringin-containing dietary supplement in the clinical setting.

The protective effects of the Naringin, on carbon tetrachloride ($CCl_4$)-induced hepatotoxicity and the possible mechanisms involved in this protection were investigated in mice. Pretreatment with Naringin prior to the administration of $CCl_4$ significantly prevented an increase in serum alanine, aspartate aminotransferase activity and hepatic lipid peroxidation in a dose-dependent manner. In addition, pretreatment with Naringin also significantly prevented the depletion of glutathione (GSH) content in the livers of $CCl_4$-induced mice. However, reduced hepatic glutathione levels was unaffected by treatment with Naringin alone. In addition, Naringin prevented $CCl_4$-induced apoptosis and necrosis, as indicated by a liver DNA laddering. To determine whether caspase-8,-3 pathway involved in $CCl_4$-induced acute liver injury, caspase-8, -3 activities were tested by ELISA. Naringin attenuated $CCl_4$induced caspase-8, -3 activities in mouse livers. $CCl_4$-induced hepatotoxicity was also prevented, as indicated by a liver histopathologic study. The effects of Naringin on the cytochrome P450 (CYP) 2E1, the major isozyme involved in $CCl_4$ were also investigated. Treatment of mice with Naringin resulted in a significant decrease of the CYP2E1-dependent hydroxyl at ion and aniline in a dose-dependent manner. These findings suggest that protective effects of Naringin against the $CCl_4$-induced hepatotoxicity may be due to its ability to block CYP2E1-mediated $CCl_4$ bioactivation and that is also protects against caspase-8, -3 pathway mediated apoptosis.

The pharmacokinetics of oral nifedipine (5 mg/kg) was studied in rabbits given after or simultaneously with naringin (1.5, 7.5 and 15 mg/kg, respectively). The area under the plasma concentration-time curve (AUC) and the peak concentration $(C_{max})$ of nifedipine coadministered or pretreated with naringin were significantly increased (p < 0.05, coad.; p < 0.01, pret.) compared with the control group. The absolute bioavailability (AB%) of nifedipine was significantly (p < 0.05, coad.; p < 0.01, pret.) higher by 22.3 - 28.1 % compared to the control (17.9%). The relative bioavailability (RB%) of nifedipine was higher by 1.24 - 1.43 times (coad.) and 1.32 -1.57 times (pret.) than those of the control, showing that preatreatrnent of naringin was more effective than that of the coadministration of naringin. Naringin did not show significant effect on the Tmax and $t_{1/2}$ of nifedipine. It is suggested that naringin may alter pharmacokinetic paramiters of nifedipine by inhibition of P-glycoprotein efflux pump and its first-pass metabolism. The dosage of nifedipine should be adjusted when it is administered with naringin in a clinical situation.

Background: Naringin and its aglycone naringenin are citrus-derived flavonoids with several pharmacological effects. On the other hand, the mechanism for the anti-diabetic effects of naringenin and naringin are controversial and remain to be clarified further. Objective: This study examined the relationship between glucose uptake and AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) phosphorylation by naringenin and naringin in high glucose-treated HepG2 cells. Methods: Glucose uptake was measured using the 2-NBDG fluorescent D-glucose analog. The phosphorylation levels of AMPK and GSK3β (Glycogen synthase kinase 3 beta) were observed by Western blotting. Molecular docking analysis was performed to evaluate the binding affinity of naringenin and naringin to the γ-subunit of AMPK. Results: The treatment with naringenin and naringin stimulated glucose uptake regardless of insulin stimulation in high glucose-treated HepG2 cells. Both flavonoids increased glucose uptake by promoting the phosphorylation of AMPK at Thr172 and increased the phosphorylation of GSK3β. Molecular docking analysis showed that both naringenin and naringin bind to the γ-subunit of AMPK with high binding affinities. In particular, naringin showed higher binding affinity than the true modulator, AMP with all three CBS domains (CBS1, 3, and 4) in the γ-subunit of AMPK. Therefore, both naringenin and naringin could be positive modulators of AMPK activation, which enhance glucose uptake regardless of insulin stimulation in high glucose-treated HepG2 cells. Conclusions: The increased phosphorylation of AMPK at Thr172 by naringenin and naringin might enhance glucose uptake regardless of insulin stimulation in high glucose treated HepG2 cells.
