Evaluación de la farmacocinética y el potencial de interacción farmacológica del suplemento dietético botánico Canela

4 de noviembre de 2026 actualizado por: Mary Paine, Washington State University

The purpose of this study is to evaluate a well-characterized, commercially available cinnamon dietary supplement as a precipitant of pharmacokinetic interactions with cytochrome P450 (CYP) 2A6 drug substrates in healthy volunteers. Nicotine gum will be used as the CYP2A6 probe drug (i.e., positive control) and letrozole as a high-impact object drug. Results will be used to inform future research on the potential use of cinnamon as a smoking cessation agent, as well as the clinical impact on pharmacotherapeutic regimens involving letrozole in cancer patients.

Descripción general del estudio

Descripción detallada

Cinnamon is used worldwide as both an additive and a botanical dietary supplement, the latter of which ranked within the 30 top-selling herbal supplements in 2020. Cinnamon is added to a variety of products, ranging from foods (e.g., breakfast cereals, baked goods) to fragrances and essential oils, to improve taste or smell. As a dietary supplement, cinnamon is commonly used to lower blood sugar and reduce inflammation. Cinnamon contains the abundant component, cinnamaldehyde (CA), a phenylpropanoid that emanates the flavor and scent of cinnamon. Research by Harrelson and colleagues has shown CA to inhibit the drug metabolizing enzyme cytochrome P450 (CYP) 2A6 in a time-dependent manner. That is, CYP2A6 metabolizes CA to a reactive intermediate that destroys the enzyme. Such substrates are also referred to as "suicide substrates". This type of enzyme inhibition is similar to that of grapefruit juice, which contains furanocoumarins that are time-dependent inhibitors of CYP3A in the intestine, leading to numerous potential adverse interactions with drugs metabolized by CYP3A. Unlike competitive inhibitors, time-dependent inhibitors inactivate the enzyme permanently, requiring de novo synthesis of the enzyme. As such, drug interactions with time-dependent inhibitors can last for several days. Relative to CYP3A, the list of clinically relevant CYP2A6 substrates is very short. However, two critical substrates include nicotine and the anticancer agent letrozole. Using an in vitro-to-in vivo extrapolation approach, CA was predicted to increase the area under the plasma concentration vs. time curve (AUC) of both substrates by 4- to 5-fold exceeding the FDA recommended cutoff (1.25) These compelling observations prompted this clinical study.

Armas e Intervenciones

Intervención / Tratamiento
Experimental: Cinnamon

Arm 1 will consist of administration of a single dose of cinnamon (2 g) with water by mouth to 6 subjects (3 males, 3 females). Blood will be drawn from 0-48 hours. Urine will be collected from 0-24 hours. The subjects may or may not elect to participate in Arms 2-5. If they do, a washout of at least 7 days will occur between Arm 1 administration of cinnamon and the Arm 2 administration of nicotine.

oral capsules, 2 g

Experimental: Nicotine

Arm 2 will consist of administration of a single dose of nicotine gum (2 mg) to 16 subjects. If these subjects participated in Arm 1, they will have completed a washout of 7 days since administration of cinnamon before starting Arm 2. Blood and urine will be collected from 0-12 hours relative to nicotine administration. Participants will undergo a washout of at least 4 days before beginning Arm 3.

  • Nicorette
Experimental: Letrozole

Arm 3 will consist of administration of a single oral dose of letrozole (2.5 mg) to the same 16 subjects who participate in Arm 2. Blood and urine will be collected from 0-240 hours and 0-24 hours, respectively, relative to letrozole administration. Participants will undergo a washout of at least 14 days before beginning Arm 4.
