Tóm tắt

The study was to investigate the absorption mechanism and transport modulation of phillyrin by P-gp in Caco-2 cells and MDR1-MDCKII cells. Three concentrations of phillyrin were tested in transport studies. The absorptive transports of phillyrin in the two cell models were not concentration-dependent which indicated passive diffusion as the dominating process in the test concentrations. The absorptive P app were 7.15, 6.39 and 10.03 × 10−6 cm s−1, respectively, for different concentrations (2.2, 4.8 and 8.4 μg ml−1) in Caco-2 cells. And the low absorptive P app was consistent with the low oral bioavailability of phillyrin observed in pharmacokinetic experiments. In transport inhibition experiment, the efflux inhibitors, verapamil and GF120918 can increase the absorption of phillyrin in Caco-2 cells which suggested the involvement of efflux transporters. In the further inhibition experiment in MDR1-MDCKII cells, the absorption was greatly increased and the efflux of phillyrin was competitively inhibited by verapamil and GF120918, which confirmed the involvement of P-gp in the efflux of phillyrin.
