ABSTRACT
The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of apigenin on UGT1 A1 enzyme activity and to predict the potential drug-drug interaction of apigenin in clinical use. First,on the basis of previous experiments,the binding targets and binding strength of apigenin to UGT1 A1 enzyme were predicted by computer molecular docking method. Then the inhibitory effect of apigenin on UGT1 A1 enzyme was evaluated by in vitro human liver microsomal incubation system. Molecular docking results showed that apigenin was docked into the active region of UGT1 A1 enzyme protein F,consistent with the active region of bilirubin docking,with moderate affinity. Apigenin flavone mother nucleus mainly interacted with amino acid residues ILE343 and VAL345 to form hydrophobic binding Pi-Alkyl. At the same time,the hydroxyl group on the mother nucleus and the amino acid residue LYS346 formed an additional hydrogen bond,which increased the binding of the molecule to the protein. These results suggested that the flavonoid mother nucleus structure had a special structure binding to the enzyme protein UGT1 A1,and the introduction of hydroxyl groups into the mother nucleus can increase the binding ability. In vitro inhibition experiments showed that apigenin had a moderate inhibitory effect on UGT1 A1 enzyme in a way of competitive inhibition,which was consistent with the results of molecular docking. The results of two experiments showed that apigenin was the substrate of UGT1 A1 enzyme,which could inhibit the activity of UGT1 A1 enzyme competitively,and there was a risk of drug interaction between apigenin and UGT1 A1 enzyme substrate in clinical use.
