This study investigated the absorptive potential of phyllanthin across the polarized Caco-2 monolayers and the potential role of phyllanthin in P-glycoprotein (P-gp)-mediated drug interaction.
The absorptive potential of phyllanthin was predicted from its apparent permeability (P ) across the Caco-2 monolayers under the pH gradient condition (pH 6.5 -7.4 ) at 37°C. Integrity of paracellular transport was assessed by monitoring transepithelial electrical resistance (TEER) and lucifer yellow (LY) leakage. P-gp-mediated interaction was evaluated by transport studies of phyllanthin and rhodamine-123.
The absorptive P of phyllanthin (34.90 ± 1.18 × 10 cm/s) was in the same rank order as the high permeable theophylline and antipyrine. Phyllanthin transport in the absorptive and secretive directions was comparable (the efflux ratio (ER) of 1.19 ± 0.01). Phyllanthin caused no changes in TEER nor LY leakage in the monolayers. However, phyllanthin increased rhodamine-123 ER in a concentration-dependent manner, suggesting its inhibition on P-gp function. In addition, phyllanthin aqueous solubility was <5 μg/ml at 37°C.
Phyllanthin is a highly permeable compound that could passively diffuse through the absorptive barrier via transcellular pathway with little hindrance from P-gp. Phyllanthin could interfere with transport of P-gp drug substrates, when concomitantly administered. In addition, aqueous solubility could be a limiting factor in phyllanthin absorption.
本研究旨在考察叶下珠素在 Caco-2 单层细胞中的吸收潜力及其在 P 糖蛋白(P-gp)介导的药物相互作用中的潜在作用。
在 37°C 下,通过测定叶下珠素在 pH 梯度条件下(pH 6.5-7.4)穿过 Caco-2 单层细胞的表观渗透系数(P )来预测其吸收潜力。通过监测跨上皮电阻(TEER)和荧光素黄(LY)渗漏来评估细胞旁转运的完整性。通过叶下珠素和罗丹明 123 的转运研究来评估 P-gp 介导的相互作用。
叶下珠素的吸收性 P(34.90±1.18×10-6cm/s)与高渗透性茶碱和安替比林相当。叶下珠素在吸收和分泌方向的转运相当(外排比(ER)为 1.19±0.01)。叶下珠素对单层细胞的 TEER 或 LY 渗漏没有影响。然而,叶下珠素以浓度依赖的方式增加了罗丹明 123 的 ER,表明其抑制了 P-gp 的功能。此外,叶下珠素在 37°C 时的水溶解度<5μg/ml。
叶下珠素是一种高渗透性化合物,可通过细胞旁路以被动扩散的方式穿过吸收屏障,很少受到 P-gp 的阻碍。当同时给予时,叶下珠素可能会干扰 P-gp 药物底物的转运。此外,水溶解度可能是叶下珠素吸收的限制因素。
