The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of hesperidin on the pharmacokinetics of verapamil and its major metabolite, norverapamil, in rats. The pharmacokinetic parameters of verapamil and norverapamil in rats were measured after the oral administration of verapamil (9 mg/kg) in the presence or absence of hesperidin (3 or 10 mg/kg). Compared to the control group, the presence of hesperidin significantly (p<0.01) increased the area under the plasma concentration-time curve (AUC) of verapamil by 71.1-96.8% and the peak concentration of verapamil by 98.3-105.2%. Hesperidin significantly (p<0.01) decreased the total plasma clearance (CL/F) of verapamil by 41.6-49.2% in rats. However there was no significant change in the time to reach the peak plasma concentration , the elimination rate constant and the terminal half-life of verapamil in the presence of hesperidin. The AUC and of norverapamil were significantly (p<0.05) higher in rats coadministrated with hesperidin than those of the control. Consequently hesperidin significantly enhanced bioavailability of verapamil in rats. These results might be due to the decreased efflux and metabolism of verapamil in the intestine. Drug interactions should be concerned in the clinical setting when verapamil is used concomitantly with hesperidin or hesperidin-containing dietary.
