We recently reported that the blood concentrations of Tacrolimus (FK506) in rats were markedly increased following the intake of a Chinese herbal preparation, Wuzhi Tablet (WZ, Schisandra sphenanthera extract). In order to identify the underlying mechanisms of the increase in FK506 level, we investigated the effects of WZ on the absorption and first-pass intestinal and hepatic metabolism of FK506 in vitro and in vivo. When co-administered with WZ, the AUC(0-infinity) value after oral FK506 dosing was increased by 2.1 fold, the oral bioavailability (F-oral) was increased from 5.4% to 13.2% (p = 0.0002), and the (F-abs x F-G) was 111.4% (p
