Oligosaccharide esters, which are among the main active components of Polygalae Radix (PR), demonstrate significant pharmacological activities in the human nervous system. In our previous research, some other constituents in PR were able to improve the bioavailability of oligosaccharide esters such as sibiricose A5 (SA5), sibiricose A6 (SA6), and 3,6'-disinapoyl sucrose (DISS), but the related components and their underlying mechanisms remain unknown. The present study aimed to investigate the intestinal absorptive profile of SA5, SA6, and DISS and the absorptive behavior influenced by the coadministration of polygalaxanthone III and total saponins of PR (TS) using an everted rat gut sac model, along with the possible mechanisms that may influence absorption. The results showed that TS could significantly enhance the absorption of SA5, SA6, and DISS monomers. Verapamil, a P-glycoprotein inhibitor, was able to elevate the absorption of SA5 and SA6, and an absorption experiment using Rho123 led us to conclude that TS influenced the absorption of SA5 and SA6 in a manner similar to that of a P-glycoprotein inhibitor. Sodium caprate, a paracellular absorption enhancer, was found to increase the absorption of SA5, SA6, and DISS. Results showed that the absorption mechanisms of SA5 and SA6 may combine active transport with paracellular passive penetration, while DISS's absorption was dominated by paracellular passive penetration. However, the relationship between polygala saponins and the absorption of SA5, SA6, and DISS by paracellular passive penetration remain to be examined. This is the direction of our future research.
寡糖酯是远志(PR)的主要活性成分之一,在人体神经系统中表现出显著的药理活性。在我们之前的研究中,PR中的其他一些成分能够提高寡糖酯如西伯利亚远志糖A5(SA5)、西伯利亚远志糖A6(SA6)和3,6'-二芥子酰蔗糖(DISS)的生物利用度,但相关成分及其潜在机制仍不清楚。本研究旨在使用外翻大鼠肠囊模型研究SA5、SA6和DISS的肠道吸收情况,以及与远志多酮三醇和PR总皂苷(TS)共同给药对吸收行为的影响,以及可能影响吸收的机制。结果表明,TS能显著提高SA5、SA6和DISS单体的吸收。维拉帕米是一种P-糖蛋白抑制剂,能够提高SA5和SA6的吸收,使用罗丹明123进行的吸收实验使我们得出结论,TS影响SA5和SA6吸收的方式类似于P-糖蛋白抑制剂。癸酸钠是一种细胞旁吸收增强剂,被发现可增加SA5、SA6和DISS的吸收。结果表明,SA5和SA6的吸收机制可能是主动转运与细胞旁被动渗透相结合,而DISS的吸收主要由细胞旁被动渗透主导。然而,远志皂苷与SA5、SA6和DISS通过细胞旁被动渗透吸收之间的关系仍有待研究。这是我们未来研究的方向。
