Intestinal absorption and first-pass metabolism of polyphenol compounds in rat and their transport dynamics in Caco-2 cells.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Polyphenols, a group of complex naturally occurring compounds, are widely distributed throughout the plant kingdom and are therefore readily consumed by humans. The relationship between their chemical structure and intestinal absorption, transport, and first-pass metabolism remains unresolved, however.

Methods

Here, we investigated the intestinal absorption and first-pass metabolism of four polyphenol compounds, apigenin, resveratrol, emodin and chrysophanol, using the in vitro Caco-2 cell monolayer model system and in situ intestinal perfusion and in vivo pharmacokinetic studies in rats, so as to better understand the relationship between the chemical structure and biological fate of the dietary polyphenols.

Conclusion

After oral administration, emodin and chrysophanol exhibited different absorptive and metabolic behaviours compared to apigenin and resveratrol. The differences in their chemical structures presumably resulted in differing affinities for drug-metabolizing enzymes, such as glucuronidase and sulphatase, and transporters, such as MRP2, SGLT1, and P-glycoprotein, which are found in intestinal epithelial cells.

Project description:In this work, we studied the intestinal absorption of a peptide with a molecular weight of 4353 Da (MEDI7219) and a protein having a molecular weight of 11 740 Da (PEP12210) in the rat intestinal instillation model and compared their absorption to fluorescein isothiocyanate (FITC)-labeled dextrans of similar molecular weights (4 and 10 kDa). To increase the absorption of the compounds, the permeation enhancer sodium caprate (C10) was included in the liquid formulations at concentrations of 50 and 300 mM. All studied compounds displayed an increased absorption rate and extent when delivered together with 50 mM C10 as compared to control formulations not containing C10. The time period during which the macromolecules maintained an increased permeability through the intestinal epithelium was approximately 20 min for all studied compounds at 50 mM C10. For the formulations containing 300 mM C10, it was noted that the dextrans displayed an increased absorption rate (compared to 50 mM C10), and their absorption continued for at least 60 min. The absorption rate of MEDI7219, on the other hand, was similar at both studied C10 concentrations, but the duration of absorption was extended at the higher enhancer concentration, leading to an increase in the overall extent of absorption. The absorption of PEP12210 was similar in terms of the rate and duration at both studied C10 concentrations. This is likely caused by the instability of this molecule in the intestinal lumen. The degradation decreases the luminal concentrations over time, which in turn limits absorption at time points beyond 20 min. The results from this study show that permeation enhancement effects cannot be extrapolated between different types of macromolecules. Furthermore, to maximize the absorption of a macromolecule delivered together with C10, prolonging the duration of absorption appears to be important. In addition, the macromolecule needs to be stable enough in the intestinal lumen to take advantage of the prolonged absorption time window enabled by the permeation enhancer.
