Since the late 1980s, chemotherapy-induced cognitive impairment, also known as “chemobrain”, has been a recognized side effect in patients undergoing cancer treatment . Although products containingGinkgo bilobamay be used by patients undergoing chemotherapy with paclitaxel and other agents, the potential for an herb–drug interaction with this combination has not been adequately explored. This report describes the inhibition of paclitaxel metabolism byGinkgopreparations in vitro in human hepatocytes. Hydrolyzate ofGinkgoextract (10–100 mM in terpene lactone concentration) caused a dose-dependent inhibition of the 6α -hydroxylation of paclitaxel, the enzymatic activity responsible for the majority of the clearance of that drug in clinical applications; parent extract had no effect. Contrary to the assumed therapeutic benefit ofGinkgo, its concomitant use with paclitaxel could result in elevated blood levels of the chemotherapeutic, with attendant exacerbation of cognitive impairment and other toxic effects associated with cancer therapy.
