Protective Effects of Kaempferol on Isoniazid- and Rifampicin-Induced Hepatotoxicity

Abstract: Abstract. Isoniazid (INH) and rifampicin (RIF) are the first-line drugs for antituberculosis (anti-TB) chemotherapy. The levels of serum transaminases [aspartate aminotransferase (AST) and alanine aminotransferase (ALT)] are abnormal in 27% of patients undergoing INH and RIF treatments and in 19% of patients undergoing treatment with INH alone. Cytochrome P450 2E1 (CYP2E1) metabolizes many toxic substrates, including ethanol, carbon tetrachloride, and INH, which ultimately results in liver injury. The objectiv… Show more

“…Three cytochrome P450s enzymes, CYP2E1, CYP1A2 and CYP3A4, play a major role in ethanol metabolism in the liver (11,12), and CYP1A2 is also involved in the metabolism of kaempferol, as confirmed in a previous in vitro study (13). As a potent inhibitor of CYP2E1 and CYP 3A4, kaempferol can inhibit ethanol metabolism (14,15). In our investigations, kaempferol and ethanol co-administration clearly increased the AUC (Fig.…”

“…However, in rats or mice, even INH/rifampicin cotreatment did not model the toxicity seen in humans. Rather, the cotreatment mildly increased the leakage of liver enzymes and caused vacuolization of centrilobular hepatocytes, and increased the number of apoptotic cells in the liver, without causing overt liver damage . Only when using human hepatocytes in culture, rifampicin potentiated INH toxicity .…”

“…CYP2E1 inhibitors have proven to have a protective effect during co-treatment with isoniazid and rifampicin [59]. Mice treated with a CYP2E1 inhibitor, kaempferol, before co-treatment with isoniazid and rifampicin have a milder liver injury upon histological examination, such as hepatocellular disintegration and vacillation.…”
