In Brief
An observational study evaluating St. Johns Wort for Drug Interactions. Completed, enrolled 13 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
The aim of the present study is to assess the impact of the cytochrome P450 2C9 (CYP2C9) genotype (\*2 and \*3 allele versus wild type; \~3-5% poor metabolisers in Caucasian population) on the pharmacokinetics of bosentan and the impact of CYP3A4-induction by St. John's wort (SJW) on steady state bosentan which is a CYP3A4 inducer itself.
