The effects of goldenseal (Hydrastis canadensis) and kava kava (Piper methysticum) supplementation on human CYP3A activity were evaluated using midazolam (MDZ) as a phenotypic probe. Sixteen healthy volunteers were randomly assigned to receive either goldenseal or kava kava for 14 days. Each supplementation phase was followed by a 30-day washout period. MDZ (8 mg, per os) was administered before and after each phase, and pharmacokinetic parameters were determined using standard non-compartmental methods. Comparisons of pre- and post-supplementation MDZ pharmacokinetic parameters revealed significant inhibition of CYP3A by goldenseal (AUC(0–N), 107.9743.3 vs 175.3774.8 ng x h/ml; Cl/F/kg, 1.2670.59 vs 0.8170.45 l/h/kg; T1/2, 2.0170.42 vs 3.1571.12 h; Cmax, 50.6726.9 vs 71.2750.5 ng/ml). MDZ disposition was not affected by kava kava supplementation. These findings suggest that significant herb–drug interactions may result from the concomitant ingestion of goldenseal and CYP3A substrates.

Comparisons of pre- and post-supplementation MDZ pharmacokinetic parameters revealed significant inhibition of CYP3A by goldenseal (AUC(0–N), 107.9743.3 vs 175.3774.8 ng x h/ml; Cl/F/kg, 1.2670.59 vs 0.8170.45 l/h/kg; T1/2, 2.0170.42 vs 3.1571.12 h; Cmax, 50.6726.9 vs 71.2750.5 ng/ml). MDZ disposition was not affected by kava kava supplementation.

Sixteen healthy volunteers were randomly assigned to receive either goldenseal or kava kava for 14 days. Each supplementation phase was followed by a 30-day washout period. MDZ (8 mg, per os) was administered before and after each phase, and pharmacokinetic parameters were determined using standard non-compartmental methods. Comparisons of pre- and post-supplementation MDZ pharmacokinetic parameters revealed significant inhibition of CYP3A by goldenseal (AUC(0–N), 107.9743.3 vs 175.3774.8 ng x h/ml; Cl/F/kg, 1.2670.59 vs 0.8170.45 l/h/kg; T1/2, 2.0170.42 vs 3.1571.12 h; Cmax, 50.6726.9 vs 71.2750.5 ng/ml). MDZ disposition was not affected by kava kava supplementation. These findings suggest that significant herb–drug interactions may result from the concomitant ingestion of goldenseal and CYP3A substrates.
