Bishop's Weed and Gilteritinib Fumarate

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

Moderate

CYTOCHROME P450 3A4 (CYP3A4) SUBSTRATES

Why this applies to Gilteritinib Fumarate

Gilteritinib Fumarate falls under CYTOCHROME P450 3A4 (CYP3A4) SUBSTRATES — the group Bishop's Weed interacts with.

Bergapten, a constituent of bishop's weed, has been shown to inhibit cytochrome P450 3A4 (CYP3A4) in vitro. Theoretically, bishop's weed might inhibit elimination and increase blood levels of drugs metabolized by CYP3A4.
Some drugs metabolized by CYP3A4 include alprazolam (Xanax), amitriptyline (Elavil), amiodarone (Cordarone), buspirone (Buspar), cerivastatin (Baycol), citalopram (Celexa), felodipine (Plendil), fexofenadine (Allegra), itraconazole (Sporanox), ketoconazole (Nizoral), lansoprazole (Prevacid), losartan (Cozaar), lovastatin (Mevacor), ondansetron (Zofran), prednisone (Deltasone, Orasone), sertraline (Zoloft), sibutramine (Meridia), sildenafil (Viagra), simvastatin (Zocor), verapamil (Calan, Covera-HS, Isoptin), and many others.
Severity Moderate Likelihood Possible Evidence B

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 key thing with Xospata (gilteritinib): your liver clears it using an enzyme called CYP3A4. A compound in Bishop's Weed called bergapten can slow that enzyme down, at least in lab studies. If that happens in the body, gilteritinib could be cleared more slowly and build up to higher levels than intended.

For a leukemia drug like this, higher levels can mean more of its side effects, things like fatigue, muscle and joint aches, nausea, swelling, low blood pressure, or changes in your heart rhythm (QT prolongation). I want to be honest though: this is mostly a theoretical concern based on weak evidence, not strong human data. Still, gilteritinib is a serious cancer medicine, so please don't add Bishop's Weed without first clearing it with your oncologist or pharmacist.

About Bishop's Weed

What is Bishop's Weed?

Bishop's Weed
  • Vitiligo (loss of skin color)
  • Psoriasis
  • Digestive complaints
  • Asthma and breathing problems
  • Kidney stones
  • Diuretic (increasing urine)

Bishop's Weed (Ammi majus) is a flowering plant whose seeds contain natural light-sensitizing compounds called psoralens, which have been studied mainly for skin conditions like vitiligo and psoriasis when combined with light therapy. The plant is potentially toxic and can cause severe skin and eye reactions when exposed to sunlight, so it is not something to take on your own. If you are interested in psoralen-based treatments, work with a dermatologist rather than self-treating.

About Gilteritinib

What Is Gilteritinib Used For?

Brand name: Xospata

Xospata (gilteritinib) is used to treat adults with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) — a fast-moving blood and bone marrow cancer — when the disease has come back after prior treatment (relapsed) or stopped responding to treatment (refractory). It is only used when a laboratory test approved by the FDA has confirmed that the leukemia cells carry a FLT3 mutation, a genetic change that helps the cancer grow.

Because response can take time, treatment for at least 6 months is generally recommended as long as the disease is not progressing and side effects are manageable.
