Bacopa and Mobocertinib Succinate

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

Moderate

CYTOCHROME P450 3A4 (CYP3A4) SUBSTRATES

Why this applies to Mobocertinib Succinate

Mobocertinib Succinate falls under CYTOCHROME P450 3A4 (CYP3A4) SUBSTRATES — the group Bacopa interacts with.

Theoretically, bacopa might increase the levels and adverse effects of CYP3A4 substrates.
Research on the effects of bacopa extracts on CYP3A4 enzymes is conflicting. Some in vitro evidence suggests that bacopa extract can moderately and competitively inhibit CYP3A4, while other in vitro evidence suggests that any effect is unlikely to be clinically significant.
Severity Moderate 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

Here's the simple version. Your body uses an enzyme called CYP3A4 to clear mobocertinib (Exkivity) out of your system. In lab dish studies, bacopa has shown it might slow that same enzyme down a bit. If that happened in real life, mobocertinib could build up higher than expected, which may mean more of its known side effects, like diarrhea, nausea, mouth sores, rash, and importantly changes to your heart rhythm (a longer QT interval).

The good news: this is only a theoretical concern based on conflicting test-tube data, not real patient cases, so it may not matter much at all. Still, mobocertinib is a serious cancer drug with real heart and gut risks, so don't start bacopa without first checking with your oncologist or pharmacist.

From our pharmacist’s overview on the Mobocertinib Succinate page

“Mobocertinib (Exkivity) is a targeted therapy for a hard-to-treat lung cancer, which makes dosing precision matter and this list worth real caution. Most of the 146 supplements on file can shift the drug's blood level, because mobocertinib is cleared by CYP3A4, an enzyme many botanicals speed up or slow down.”

About Bacopa

What is Bacopa?

Bacopa
  • Memory and cognitive support
  • Anxiety and stress
  • ADHD symptoms
  • Age-related memory decline
  • General brain health

Bacopa is an Ayurvedic herb most often used for memory and thinking. Some small studies suggest it may modestly help memory when taken regularly for several weeks, but the evidence is limited and quality varies. It is generally well tolerated but can cause stomach upset, and it should be avoided in pregnancy and breastfeeding due to a lack of safety data.

About Mobocertinib

What Is Mobocertinib Used For?

Brand name: Exkivity

  • Mobocertinib is used to treat a certain type of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) that cannot be removed by surgery and has spread to other parts of the body either during or after treatment with platinum chemotherapy medications. Mobocertinib is in a class of medications called kinase inhibitors. It works by blocking the action of the abnormal protein that signals cancer cells to multiply. This helps stop or slow the spread of cancer cells and may help shrink tumors.
