Abstract:The human liver enzyme CYP3A4 plays an important role in the biotransformation of xenobiotics from herbs to harmless and excretable metabolites. However, CYP3A4 catalytic activity may also produce more toxic metabolites. Predicting sites of metabolism (SOMs) in the xenobiotics may prevent unwanted CYP3A4 products. The evidence to explain the comprehensive biotransformation of major compounds from Centella asiatica and Orthosiphon stamineus is inadequate. The aim of the present study was to determine the specif… Show more
