the aglycones of naringin and hesperidin, occur naturally in citrus fruits. Naringin exerts a variety of pharmacological effects such as antioxidant activity, blood lipid lowering, anticancer
activity, and inhibition of selecteMod drug metabolizing cytochrome P450 enzymes, including CYP3A4 and CYP1A2, which may result in drug drug interactions in vivo. Ingestion of naringin and related
flavonoids can also affect the intestinal absorption of certain drugs, leading to either an increase or decrease in circulating drug levels
