Student Achievement
Pharmaceutical Sciences and Molecular Medicine students
- Humayra Haque (graduate student, Clarke lab) and nine co-authors published a journal article in ASPET Discovery, 2026, titled, “Flavan-3-gallate catechins in green tea (Camellia sinensis) reduce amiodarone solubility and dissolution in fasted state simulated intestinal fluid.” In summary, the article suggests that green tea may reduce the bioavailability of amiodarone, as in vitro studies showed that one cup of brewed green tea reduces amiodarone dissolution by 74%. The flavan-3-gallate catechin from green tea decreased solubility by 50%. However, a pharmacokinetic study in fasted mice showed no significant changes in amiodarone’s area under the curve (AUC) or maximum concentration (Cmax), partly due to the effect of the vehicle used for liquid gavage. Further clinical studies are necessary to clarify this interaction.
