The pharmacokinetic parameters of theophylline in rats did not change significantly when the drug was intravenously administered after three consecutive days of pretreatment with 17mg/kg, orally, of 1-furan-2-yl-3-pyridine-2-yl-propenone (FPP-3), an investigatory drug having dual inhibitory action on cyclooxygenase (COX) and 5-lipoxygenase (5-LOX). However, significant changes were found in the pharmacokinetic parameters of the drug at doses of 34mg/kg and more of FPP-3. Results of cytochrome P450 activity test indicated that the alteration in pharmacokinetic parameters of the drug appears to be due to the inhibitory effect of FPP-3 on cytochrome P450 1A which is responsible for the metabolism of theophylline. Methoxyresorufin-O-demethylase (MROD) and ethoxyresorufin-O-deethylase (EROD) activity assays revealed that the relative activities of cytochrome P450 1A1 and 1A2 were dose-dependently reduced in the presence of 1, 5, and 10μM FPP-3 concentrations. Taking into consideration that FPP-3 is intended to be primarily used by geriatric patients with chronic diseases and therefore may be used in long-term basis, the investigatory drug needs to be assessed thoroughly in terms of drug interaction with other commonly prescribed medications.
