Piperine has been reported to inhibit the enzyme activity of cytochrome P450 (CYP) 3A4. The aim of this study was to develop and validate a physiologically based pharmacokinetic (PBPK) model for piperine and to predict potential food–drug interactions (FDIs) between piperine and CYP3A4 substrate drugs using these models. The PBPK model for piperine was successfully developed and validated. Using this model, FDIs with ten CYP3A4 substrate drugs were simulated. The predicted area under the curve (AUC) ratios (with and without piperine, following a 7-day intake of 20 mg/day) for six drugs were found to exceed 1.25, with significant increases in AUC observed for ritonavir (31%), nifedipine (34%), cyclosporine (35%), triazolam (36%), alfentanil (39%), and simvastatin (59%) in humans. These findings suggest that caution should be exercised when consuming amounts of black pepper equivalent to a daily intake of 20 mg piperine during treatment with CYP3A4 substrate drugs, as it may significantly alter their pharmacokinetics.
