A furanocoumarin-free grapefruit juice establishes furanocoumarins as the mediators of the grapefruit juice–felodipine interaction [PDF]
Grapefruit juice (GFJ) enhances the systemic exposure of numerous CYP3A4 drug substrates, including felodipine, by inhibiting intestinal (but not hepatic) first-pass metabolism. Furanocoumarins have been identified as major CYP3A4 inhibitors contained in the juice, but their contribution to the GFJ effect in vivo remains unclear.To ascertain whether ...

The second‐generation crystalline sponge method allows structurally diverse molecular guests to crystallize under standardized crystallization conditions. The key is the predominant packing type of cages and anions in crystals. ABSTRACT Crystallization is typically highly sensitive to even minor structural differences in target molecules.

Convergent evolution leading to the appearance of furanocoumarins in citrus plants.
Furanocoumarins are defense molecules mainly described in four plant families that are phylogenetically distant. Molecular characterization of the biosynthetic pathway has been started for many years in Apiaceae and Rutaceae.

Gut Metabolism of Furanocoumarins: Proposed Function of Co O-Methyltransferase
Gut metabolism of natural products is of great interest due to the altered biological activity of the metabolites. To study the gut metabolism of the dietary furanocoumarins, the biotransformation of Angelica dahurica was studied with human gut ...
