Abstract

Possible Influence of Some Foods on the Metabolism of Ibrutinib by Dieter Kronabel

Since 2014, Ibrutinib has been available as a new drug for the treatment of leukemic diseases. Ibrutinib (Imbruvica) is metabolized in the liver mainly by the isoenzyme CYP3A4 and to a minor extent by CYP2D6. Simultaneous application of Imbruvica and consumption of foods containing secondary metabolites strongly inhibiting the CYP3A4 isoform, could significantly influence the toxicity of this drug. This article references the respective foods.
