Aegeline and Tisotumab Vedotin-Tftv

Here is the interaction we found between these two, with the evidence behind it.

Minor

CYTOCHROME P450 3A4 (CYP3A4) SUBSTRATES

Why this applies to Tisotumab Vedotin-Tftv

Tisotumab Vedotin-Tftv falls under CYTOCHROME P450 3A4 (CYP3A4) SUBSTRATES — the group Aegeline interacts with.

Aegeline inhibits cytochrome P450 3A4 (CYP3A4) activity in vitro. So far, this interaction has not been reported in humans. Theoretically, aegeline may increase levels of drugs metabolized by CYP3A4. Some drugs metabolized by CYP3A4 include lovastatin (Mevacor), ketoconazole (Nizoral), itraconazole (Sporanox), fexofenadine (Allegra), triazolam (Halcion), and numerous others. Use aegeline cautiously or avoid in patients taking these drugs.
Severity Minor Likelihood Possible Evidence D

Interaction has been documented in animal or in lab research, or the interaction has been documented in humans but is limited to case reports or conflicting clinical research exists.

Dr. Brian Staiger, PharmD, BCPS
Dr. Brian Staiger explains PharmD, Clinical Pharmacist

Let me put this one in perspective. Tivdak is an antibody-drug conjugate given by IV in a cancer clinic, and part of it (a chemotherapy payload called MMAE) is cleared with help from the liver enzyme CYP3A4. Aegeline has been shown in test-tube studies to slow that same enzyme. In theory, blocking CYP3A4 could let more of that toxic payload hang around, which might mean more bruising or bleeding, nerve tingling or numbness, eye irritation, nausea, or low blood counts.

That said, this is lab-only data and has never been seen in real patients, so I wouldn't lose sleep over it. The bigger issue is aegeline itself, which has been tied to serious liver injury and is one many people should simply avoid. Please loop in your oncology team before using any supplement during this treatment.

About Aegeline

What is Aegeline?

  • Weight loss
  • Fat burning / metabolism support
  • Sports and bodybuilding supplements
  • General 'energy' products

Aegeline is a compound originally identified in the bael tree (Aegle marmelos) that gained attention because it was added to some weight-loss and workout supplements. It is best known for being linked to serious liver injury in a product called OxyELITE Pro, and U.S. regulators warned against products containing it. There is no good evidence it safely helps with weight loss, and it should generally be avoided.
