The effects of oral co- and pre-administration of Sho-seiryu-to extract powder (TJ-19, 1 g/kg), a widely used Kampo (traditional Chinese herbal) medicine, on the pharmacokinetics of an anti-epileptic drug, carbamazepine (CBZ), and its active metabolite (carbamazepine-10,11-epoxide, CBZ-E) after oral administration of CBZ (50 mg/kg) were examined in male rats. The simultaneous administration of TJ-19 significantly lengthened the time to reach the peak plasma concentration (Tmax), but did not influence the peak plasma concentration, area under the plasma concentration-time curve or terminal elimination half-life (t1/2). Each parameter for CBZ or CBZ-E with a single pretreatment with TJ-19 was not significantly different from that with the vehicle. Tmax and the elimination rate constant for CBZ were significantly increased by 1-week repeated pretreatment with TJ-19, by 83% (p&lt;0.01) and 88% (p&lt;0.001), respectively. t1/2 and the mean residence time from zero to infinity (MRT0-infinity) in the TJ-19 pretreatment group were significantly shortened, by 52 and 34% (p&lt;0.005), respectively. No significant difference in the bound fraction of each drug at two concentrations (1 and 10 microg/ml) was observed between the control and TJ-19 pretreatment groups. These results indicate that simultaneous oral administration of TJ-19 delays the oral absorption of CBZ, while 1-week repeated pretreatment with TJ-19 accelerates the metabolism of CBZ in rats, without affecting the protein binding of CBZ.
