Warfarin, a widely prescribed anticoagulant, is highly effective for various coagulation disorders. However, its efficacy is limited by a narrow therapeutic index and frequent drug interactions, especially those involving metabolism by Cytochrome P450 (CYP450) enzymes. Piperine, found in black and long pepper, possesses blood-thinning properties and has been observed to inhibit CYP3A and CYP2C enzymes linked to warfarin metabolism. This study investigated the effect of piperine on warfarin metabolism in liver microsomes using a rapid and sensitive HPLC-Fluorescence method. The use of PFP (pentafluorophenyl) column with core shell particles provided the selectivity and resolution to resolve warfarin and its 4-, 6-, 7-, and 10-hydroxy metabolites in addition to the internal standard naproxen in less than 3 min. This is the fastest analytical assay for warfarin and its major metabolites reported to date, making it ideal for metabolic studies. The applicability of the method was demonstrated by monitoring the metabolism of S-warfarin in human and rat liver microsomes, and evaluating the inhibitory effect of piperine on metabolite formation. The results showed that piperine inhibited the formation of the major metabolite, 7-hydroxywarfarin, with half-maximal inhibitory concentration (IC<sub>50</sub>) 14.2 μM and 3.2 μM in human and rat liver microsomes, respectively. Furthermore, coagulation studies <i>in vitro</i> using rat plasma showed that piperine does not affect prothrombin time (PT) and activated partial thromboplastin time (aPTT). This study suggested that piperine may present a potential drug interaction with warfarin at the metabolism level, but has no direct effect on the activation of the extrinsic or intrinsic coagulation cascades. Further clinical investigation is therefore required, as piperine may increase the bioavailability of warfarin, thus increasing risk of serious adverse events in patients.
