Outline of Final Research Achievements

The ketogenic diet is hyper high-fat/low-carbohydrate diet that helps to control seizures in patients with refractory epilepsy. Phenytoin is used for epilepsy, and phenytoin elimination is a saturable process obeying Michaelis-Menten kinetics. High-fat diet and high-fat/high-cholesterol diet may affect the expression and activity of drug-metabolizing enzymes. In this study, we clarified the effects of the ketogenic diet on phenytoin pharmacokinetics. In enzyme inhibition study, α-linolenic acid and linoleic acid contained in the ketogenic diet inhibited the metabolism of phenytoin. In vivo pharmacokinetic study, simultaneous administration of phenytoin and α-linolenic acid decreased the oral clearance of phenytoin. These results suggest that polyunsaturated fatty acids contained in the ketogenic diet are factors of the phenytoin pharmacokinetics fluctuation.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

フェニトイン薬物療法においてα-リノレン酸は注意すべき薬物-飲食物間相互作用となる可能性が示され、てんかん治療においてケトン食療法を併用する際は,ケトン食を構成する脂肪酸の割合や摂取量に注意を払う必要があることが提起された。
