Grapefruit: the last decade acquisitions

B Tirillini. Fitoterapia. 2000 Aug.

Abstract

This review reports the last decade acquisitions on grapefruit. New coumarins and limonoids were isolated and characterised. The bioavailability of many drugs was tested with grapefruit juice (GJ) coadministration; the inhibition on cytochrome P450 seems due to a synergic action between flavonoids and coumarins. Antimicrobial, antifeeding, insecticidal, and antitumour activities were also reported.
