The in vitro studies of triptolide with CYP isoforms and P-gp indicate that triptolide has the potential to cause pharmacokinetic drug interactions with other co-administered drugs metabolized by CYP1A2 and CYP3A4. Further clinical studies are needed to evaluate the significance of this interaction.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
