“A strong negative linear correlation of glyburide or gliclazide metabolites levels and the concentration of berberine confirmed the effect of berberine on the metabolism of sulfonylureas.”
“In vitro co-incubation of glyburide or gliclazide with berberine showed that each drug's metabolism was compromised as they share a common isozyme.”
“Understanding how metabolism of sulfonylureas like glyburide and gliclazide can be affected by the presence of berberine and vice versa can provide valuable information on the possible risk of toxicities caused by co-ingestion of drugs.”
