- Natural product: Kratom (Mitragyna speciosa)
- Associated study: Effects of mitragynine and 7-hydroxymitragynine (the alkaloids of Mitragyna speciosa Korth) on 4-methylumbelliferone glucuronidation in rat and human liver microsomes and recombinant human uridine 5’- diphospho-glucuronosyltransferase isoforms
In Vitro Enzyme Inhibition Experiment
Inhibition of UGT in human liver microsomes by buprenorphine
Inhibition was detected. Cutoff used —
IC50 > 10 μM are low potential inhibitors.
1 μM < IC50 < 10 μM are moderate potential inhibitors.
IC50 < 1 μM are high potential inhibitors.
