LACK OF STANDARDIZATION OR INADEQUATE PROCESSING
III. LACK OF STANDARDIZATION OR INADEQUATE PROCESSING
Poor quality of herbs that require proper curing and of proprietary medicines is also found to be a major cause of herbal poisoning. The relative proportions of therapeutic and toxic components of plants vary depending on the part of the plant used, stage of ripeness, geographic area where the plant is grown, and storage conditions. Therefore, batch-to-batch reproducibility of active chemical ingredients should ideally be assessed in the production of marketed products, but in practice the active ingredients are often not known and most herbal suppliers and practitioners do not have the facilities or training to undertake chemical standardization, so product variation in herbal medicines can be significant.
Adverse Effects of CHM 889
A. Aconites One of the major causes of serious and sometimes fatal toxicity in Hong Kong
has been the use of aconites from the dried rootstocks of Aconitum carmichaeli and A. kusnezoffii (5–7). These preparations are commonly used in TCM for
their anti-inflammatory analgesic effects. They contain C 19 -diterpenoid esters, aconitine, mesaconitine, hypaconitine, and other derivatives, which activate sodium channels resulting in neurological and cardiac toxicity. Aconitine was previously popular in Western medicine but fell into disrepute toward the end of the nineteenth century when cases of toxicity were recognized, and its only role in Western medicine now is in experimental pharmacology to induce arrhythmias in animal preparations.
The initial symptoms of toxicity include paresthesias in the mouth and tongue with progression to involve the extremeties. Nausea and vomiting are common and there may be muscle weakness, hypotension, and dizziness (42– 44). The most serious effects are arrhythmias, which include both bradycardia and tachyarrhythmias such as ventricular flutter or fibrillation (45–48). A number of deaths have occurred from these ventricular arrhythmias (49).
Toxicity was often related to the use of excessive doses of these herbs or to inadequate processing. Like most herbs in CHM the aconites are subjected to a process of ‘‘curing,’’ which in this case involves steaming or boiling in water to reduce the toxicity by converting aconitine alkaloids to aconines and benzoylaconitines. The processed herb is supplied to the patient with a combination of other herbs and the patient is instructed to prepare a decoction by boiling the herbs for a certain period of time. This will further reduce the toxicity of the aconites. Thus there are a number of stages in this process where variations in technique may lead to excessive amounts of the toxic ingredients remaining in the preparation that the patient ingests. In some cases the dosage prescribed was too high. The recommended dosage in the Pharmacopoeia of the People’s Republic of China is 1.5–3 g for both caowu (main root of A. kusnezoffii) and for chuanwu (main root of A. carmichaeli) and 3–5 g for fuzi (lateral root of A. carmichaeli). Some prescriptions have included 6 g or more of each of the first two aconite preparations. Other factors that may contribute to toxicity include differences in the amount of alkaloids present in the plant roots at the time of harvest and the use of inappropriate combinations with other herbs.
IV. HEAVY METAL CONTAMINATION Heavy metals have been used over the centuries for their medicinal effects
although they have largely been replaced in allopathic medicine by less toxic pharmaceuticals. In the theory of TCM heavy metals may be used as active
890 Tomlinson et al.
ingredients of some herbal prescriptions and Chinese proprietary medicines often contain cinnabar (mercuric sulfide), realgar (arsenic sulfide), or litharge (lead oxide) as part of the traditional formula. Furthermore, during growth and storage, crude plant material can become contaminated by pesticide residues, microorganisms, aflatoxins, radioactive substances, and heavy metals; lead, cadmium, mercury, arsenic, and thallium have been reported as contaminants of some herbal preparations (50). In a case series of five patients in England with lead poisoning from Asian traditional remedies, the preparations implicated contained 6–60% by weight of lead (51).
A proprietary medicine, ‘‘Niuhuang Jiedu Pian,’’ was incriminated in a fatal case in Macau (52). The patient, a 13-year-old girl had taken a high
dosage of this proprietary medicine and developed an illness involving multiorgan failure, which was considered to be compatible with arsenic toxicity. When the tablets were analyzed they were found to contain excessive amounts of arsenic and this product and other similar ones were withdrawn from the market in Macau until they were proven to free of arsenic contamination. A number of cases of acute or chronic arsenic poisoning were reported from Singapore in children and adults taking ‘‘Sin Lak Pill’’, ‘‘Lu Shen Wan,’’ and other ‘‘antiasthma’’ preparations (53). These proprietary medicines, which were manufactured in China, Hong Kong, and other Asian countries, were found to contain levels of inorganic arsenic ranging from 25 to 107,000 ppm. In Taiwan, heavy-metal poisoning of newborn infants fed ‘‘Ba Pao Neu Hwang San’’ is reported annually (54). In 1983, the death of a 5- month-old female infant resulted from consumption of the drug, which was found to have contained lead at 44,000 ppm. Despite such cases this TCM is still widely used. In 1992, a survey revealed mercury contamination of this product ranging from 34,500 to 65,700 ppm (54).
V. ADULTERATION WITH WESTERN DRUGS Data from Taiwan have highlighted the widespread use of adulterants in
TCM preparations. Examination of 2,609 products found 23.7% were adulterated and of these 52.8% contained two or more adulterants (55). Of the adulterants 34.5% contained caffeine, 27.0% paracetamol, 24.6% indo- methacin, 20.6% hydrochlorothiazide, and 14.8% prednisolone (55). TCM hospitals had the lowest rates of adulteration (9.0%) with herbalists providing the least authentic preparations, with 34.6% containing adulterants (55). Ginseng preparations in the United States were found to be adulterated with a number of different components including Mandragora officinarum (scopol- amine), Rauwolfia serpentia (reserpine), and Cola species.

VI. HERB-DRUG INTERACTIONS Interactions between herbs and drugs have been the subject of a number of
reviews (21,22,26,56–60). However, data regarding interactions with CHM are relatively few and the subject has not been studied systematically although attempts are being made to remedy this (40). The study of some of these interactions has provided insights into the mechanisms involved and helps to predict what other problems may occur. Problems are most likely to be encountered with drugs that have a narrow therapeutic window such as warfarin, digoxin, or cyclosporin. Much of the evidence of interactions of CHM with such drugs comes from anecdotal reports and the true risk is difficult to assess (61).
A. Grapefruit Juice Drug interactions with grapefruit juice serve as a good example of how an
apparently innocuous dietary constituent can interact with potent drugs, which could result in serious toxicity. A number of Chinese herbal medicines are derived from citrus fruits such as chen pi (rind of Citrus reticulata) or zhi shi (unripe fruits of Citrus aurantium) and these could have similar effects although it has been suggested that the interaction is specific for grapefruit products and in vitro findings suggested the flavonoid, naringenin, or the furanocoumarin, 6V,7V-dihydroxybergamottin, were the active components causing drug interactions (62).
The serendipitous finding that grapefruit juice increased the oral bioavailability of felodipine and to a lesser extent nifedipine provided the instigation for a series of investigations to explore the mechanism of this effect (63). Lown and colleagues reported that grapefruit juice decreased small- bowel epithelial cell CYP3A4 concentration by 62%, but did not alter CYP3A4 mRNA levels or the concentrations of small-bowel CYP1A1, CYP2D6, or P-glycoprotein, or colonic CYP3A5, or the activity of hepatic CYP3A4 (64). They concluded that grapefruit juice caused selective post- translational downregulation of CYP3A4 expression in the intestinal wall. This interaction is likely to have the greatest effect in individuals with the highest inherent baseline enteric CYP3A4 and with drugs with innately low oral bioavailability because of substantial presystemic metabolism mediated by CYP3A4 (62). Clinically relevant interactions are likely with cyclosporin, terfenadine, saquinavir, some HMG CoA reductase inhibitors, and a number of other drugs. Understanding this mechanism should help to limit possible adverse drug interactions and might also be useful to develop possible beneficial drug combinations that could lower treatment costs or increase efficacy.

B. St. John’s Wort St. John’s wort, derived from the flowering tips of Hypericum perforatum,
provides another example where a herbal drug that has gained considerable popularity in Western countries proved to be capable of causing important herb-drug interactions. It appeared to be a safe alternative antidepressant with an efficacy similar to low-dose tricyclic antidepressants or selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (65–69) apart from the risk that it might interact with the serotonin reuptake inhibitors to produce a mild serotonin syndrome (26,56,70,71). However, in 1999 reports started to appear of interactions between St. John’s wort and a variety of drugs and it was shown to reduce the plasma concentrations of digoxin (72) and theophylline (73) and to result in breakthrough bleeding during oral contraceptive use (74). Case reports then emerged suggesting interactions with cyclosporin could reduce the immuno- suppressive effect resulting in rejection of transplanted organs including heart (75,76), liver (77), and renal (78–80) transplants. It was also shown to decrease plasma levels of the HIV protease inhibitors indinavir (81) and nevirapine (82), as well as amitriptyline (83) and some HMG CoA reductase inhibitors (84).
Studies examining the mechanism of these interactions showed that administration of St. John’s wort extract to rats for 14 days resulted in a 3.8- fold increase in expression of the intestinal drug efflux transporter P-glyco- protein, the product of the multidrug resistance (MDR) gene 1, and in a 2.5- fold increase in hepatic CYP3A2expression (85). In healthy volunteers administration of St. John’s wort extract for 14 days resulted in 1.4- and 1.5-fold increased expressions of duodenal P-glycoprotein/MDR1 and CYP3A4, respectively, and in a 1.4-fold increase in the functional activity of hepatic CYP3A4 assessed by 14C-erythromycin breath test (85). Likewise, St. John’s wort given for 16 days produced a 4.2-fold increase in expression of P -glycoprotein and enhanced the P-glycoprotein-mediated drug efflux func- tion in peripheral blood lymphocytes of healthy volunteers (86).
Another study using an in vivo probe drug cocktail approach showed that short-term administration of St. John’s wort had no effect on CYP activities whereas long-term (2weeks) administration decreased the bioavail- ability of oral midazolam by >50% but when midazolam was given intra- venously there was only a 20% decrease, indicating relatively selective induction of CYP3A activity in the intestinal wall (87). There was no change in CYP1A2, CYP2C9, or CYP2D6 activities as a result of St. John’s wort administration (87). However, in the LS180 intestinal cell model St. John’s wort increased the expression of CYP1A2in a concentration- and time- dependent manner (88). Conversely, incubation of St. John’s wort in vitro with a panel of recombinant human CYP isoforms showed inhibition of the 1A2, the 2C6, and especially the 2C19 isoforms (89).
Adverse Effects of CHM 893
A molecular mechanism for the interaction was demonstrated as hyper- forin, a constituent of St. John’s wort with antidepressant activity, was found to be a potent ligand for the pregnane X receptor, an orphan nuclear receptor that regulates expression of the cytochrome P450 (CYP) 3A4 (90). Treatment of primary human hepatocytes with hypericum extracts or hyperforin results in a marked induction of CYP3A4 expression. Activation of this nuclear receptor would lead to upregulation of the expression of P-glycoprotein/ MDRI and CYP3A4 expression in the intestinal wall and to a lesser extent CYP3A4 in the liver.
C. Danshen Danshen, the root of Salvia miltiorrhiza, is a herb commonly used in TCM
for the treatment of atherosclerotic cardio- and cerebrovascular diseases. It has been reported to have a number of anticoagulatory effects, including inhibition of platelet aggregation, antithrombin III–like activity, antagonism of extrinsic blood coagulation, and profibrinolytic properties (91). One study showed some components may have scavenging effects on free radicals (92). When taken in combination with the anticoagulant warfarin, excessive anticoagulation has been reported in a number of cases (93–96). This could represent a pharmacodynamic interaction on different coagulation mecha- nisms, but as danshen does not usually affect the PT directly the increases seen in prothrombin time suggests a pharmacokinetic effect and danshen has also been reported to increase plasma concentrations of both R- and S -warfarin and decrease clearance in a rat model (97). Much of the activity of danshen has been attributed to the tanshionone components that can
be identified following hydrophobic extraction, and include tanshionone IIA and sodium tanshionone sulfonate. Recently, the sulfonate has been reported to be a noncompetitive inhibitor of CYP2C9 in human hepatic mi- crosomes (98).
D. Dong Quai Dong quai, or danggui, is the Chinese herb prepared from the dried root of
Angelica sinensis . It is used as an antispasmodic, a ‘‘blood purifier,’’ and a tonic and as a treatment for various gynecological disorders including menstrual cramping, irregular menses, and menopausal symptoms. Phyto- chemical analyses showed it contains coumarin derivatives and other con- stituents possessing antithrombotic and antiarrhythmic effects (99) and it is recommended to avoid using it in patients with coagulation disorders (100). Some of the pharmacological effects may be related to the phytoestrogen content and gynecomastia has been reported in a man taking a dong quai
894 Tomlinson et al.
preparation (101) although no evidence of an estrogen effect was seen in a study in postmenopausal women (102), and in an in vitro study it did not have an estrogen effect but it did increase the growth of a human breast cancer cell line (103). A case was described of a patient stabilized on warfarin who showed an increase in prothrombin time and INR after taking dong quai (104). The exact mechanism of the interaction is not known although one study showed that dong quai affected the pharmacodynamics but not the pharmacokinetics of warfarin in rabbits (105).
E. Ginkgo (Ginkgo biloba) The fruits and seeds of ginkgo have been used in TCM for thousands of years
and leaf extracts are one of the most commonly used European herbal extracts (22,106). The active components have been attributed with a number of activities that promote small-vessel blood flow, including that in the cerebral arteries, as well as antiplatelet and other hemorrheological actions, antihy- poxic, neuroprotective, membrane-stabilizing, and capillary-fragility-de- creasing effects (21,22,106). Ginkgo has been reported to provide moderate improvements in symptoms of intermittent claudication (107) and a stan- dardized form of the leaf extract (EGb761) has been approved in Germany for the treatment of dementia (21,22).
Ginkgo appears to be relatively safe with side effects that are usually mild and limited to gastrointestinal complaints, headache, nausea, and vomiting (22,106). However, a small number of serious bleeding problems have been reported for subjects taking ginkgo preparations, who in most cases were receiving concurrent anticoagulant drugs. These have included two subdural hematomas (108,109), one in a patient who was taking paracetamol and an ergotamine-caffeine preparation (109), one intracerebral hemorrhage when ginkgo was taken with warfarin (110), one subarachnoid hemorrhage (111), and a case of hyphema resulting from combination with aspirin (112). The significance of these reports is uncertain but it seems advisable for patients taking anticoagulants or antiplatelet drugs not to take ginkgo (22).
A study using probe drugs for CYP1A2, CYP2D6, CYP2E1, and CYP3A4 activity showed no significant effect on CYP activity with 28-day supplemen- tation with a G. biloba preparation (40).
F. Other Herbs Garlic or dasuan, the tuber of Allium sativum L., is used in TCM both orally
and topically for various effects including as an anthelmintic, antiseptic, antidote, and tonic. Various preparations of garlic exhibited an inhibitory effect on human CYP-mediated metabolism of marker substrates for 2C9*1,
Adverse Effects of CHM 895
2C19, 3A4, 3A5, and 3A7 but not 2D6, whereas extracts of fresh garlic stimulated CYP2C9*2 metabolism of the marker substrate in an in vitro system (113). Using the probe drug approach, in vivo garlic oil reduced CYP2E1 activity after 28 days but had no effect on CYP1A2, CYP2D6, or CYP3A4 activity (40).
Piperine, a major component of black pepper, inhibited P-glycoprotein- mediated digoxin and cyclosporin A transport in Caco-2cells and CYP3A4- mediated verapamil metabolism in human liver microsomes, so it could affect plasma concentrations of drugs subject to first-pass elimination by these mechanisms (114).
VII. CONCLUSIONS When used as monotherapy or in appropriate combinations recommended by
an experienced TCM practitioner, most of the herbal preparations used in CHM obtained from reliable sources are relatively safe with minor adverse effects. However, when obtained from unscrupulous sources there is an increased chance of misidentification, adulteration, or contamination that may be associated with serious adverse events. Additionally, concomitant use of pharmaceutical drugs may lead to herb-drug interactions that may be potentially fatal. Studies with grapefruit juice and St. John’s wort have demonstrated some mechanisms by which pharmacokinetic interactions may occur. However, despite clear evidence that herbal preparations may lead to severe interactions, information regarding possible and proven interactions is very limited. Care should be taken when herbal preparations are given with pharmaceutical drugs and physicians must identify the use of such herbal preparations to reduce the chances of these interactions occurring.
