| Drug Interaction | Drug Names |
|---|---|
| Selected Chemotherapy Agents/Turmeric (Curcumin) SEVERITY LEVEL: 2-Severe Interaction: Action is required to reduce the risk of severe adverse interaction. MECHANISM OF ACTION: Curcumin, the major component of turmeric, has been shown to decrease chemotherapy-induced apoptosis by inhibition of reactive oxygen species generation and blockade of the c-Jun NH2-terminal kinase pathway.(1) CLINICAL EFFECTS: Concurrent use of turmeric (curcumin) may decrease the effectiveness of some chemotherapy agents.(1) PREDISPOSING FACTORS: None determined. PATIENT MANAGEMENT: Patients receiving cytotoxic therapy for breast cancer should be excluded from curcumin-based chemotherapy.(1) It would be prudent to instruct patients to avoid or limit consumption of curcumin or turmeric. DISCUSSION: In vitro studies in MCF-7 cancer cell lines showed that curcumin decreased camptothecin-induced, doxorubicin-induced, and mechlorethamine-induced apoptosis. In vivo tests in mice xenograft models of human breast cancer, dietary curcumin decreased cyclophosphamide-induced tumor regression.(1) |

| Cladribine/Selected Inhibitors of BCRP SEVERITY LEVEL: 2-Severe Interaction: Action is required to reduce the risk of severe adverse interaction. MECHANISM OF ACTION: Inhibitors of BCRP may increase the absorption of cladribine.(1-2) CLINICAL EFFECTS: The concurrent administration of cladribine with an inhibitor of BCRP may result in elevated levels of cladribine and signs of toxicity.(1-2) PREDISPOSING FACTORS: None determined. PATIENT MANAGEMENT: The manufacturer of cladribine states concurrent use of BCRP inhibitors should be avoided during the 4- to 5-day cladribine treatment.(1-2) Selection of an alternative concurrent medication with no or minimal transporter inhibiting proprieties should be considered. If this is not possible, dose reduction to the minimum mandatory dose of the BCRP inhibitor, separation in timing of administration, and careful patient monitoring is recommended.(1-2) Monitor for signs of hematologic toxicity. Lymphocyte counts should be monitored. DISCUSSION: Cladribine is a substrate of BCRP. Inhibitors of this transporter are expected to increase cladribine levels.(1-2) BCRP inhibitors linked to this monograph include: capmatinib, clopidogrel, cobicistat, curcumin, danicopan, darolutamide, eltrombopag, elvitegravir, grazoprevir, lazertinib, oteseconazole, pacritinib, ritonavir, roxadustat, tafamidis, ticagrelor, turmeric, and vadadustat.(1-4) |
