    Obesity is a growing global concern, and pancreatic lipase inhibitors have emerged as potential targets for anti-obesity strategies. This study evaluates the potential of Perilla frutescens (L.) Britton var. frutescens leaf tea as a pancreatic lipase inhibitor for managing dietary fat absorption. Perilla leaf tea significantly inhibited the pancreatic lipase-mediated hydrolysis of emulsified triglycerides, depending on its polyphenol and rosmarinic acid contents. However, the inhibitory effect diminished at higher concentrations, which coincided with the increased emulsion particle size. Perilla leaf tea did not inhibit the hydrolysis of solubilized p-nitrophenyl palmitate, whereas authentic rosmarinic acid reduced lipase activity against both substrate types. These findings suggest that perilla leaf tea and rosmarinic acid have different lipase inhibition mechanisms. This study implies that rosmarinic acid contributes to the lipase-inhibiting properties of perilla leaf tea and emulsion structure plays a pivotal role in modulating the ability of the tea to inhibit lipase activity.

    This study aimed to obtain information on the transport form and pathway from the intestine to the peripheral tissues and on the intestinal absorption and metabolism properties of oleamide (cis-9-octadecenamide). Oleamide was primarily transported via the portal vein. Density gradient centrifugation indicated that plasma oleamide was enriched in the fractions containing albumin in the portal and peripheral blood. Oleamide formed a complex with albumin in an endothermic reaction (apparent Kd = 4.4 μM). The CD36 inhibitor inhibited the oleamide uptake into the intestinal epithelial Caco-2 cells, and oleamide decreased the cell surface CD36 level. The fatty acid amide hydrolase (FAAH) inhibitor increased the transepithelial transport of oleamide across Caco-2 cells and the plasma oleamide concentration in mice intragastrically administered with oleamide. These results indicate that oleamide is transported primarily via the portal vein as a complex with albumin. Furthermore, we suggest that oleamide is taken up via CD36 in the small intestine and degraded intracellularly by FAAH.

    Cinnamic acid derivatives, which are dietary phenolic compounds, are attracting attention for their health benefits. Artepillin C, drupanin, baccharin, and p-coumaric acid are major cinnamic acid derivatives in Brazilian green propolis (BGP) used as functional food materials. To investigate the metabolism of these cinnamic acid derivatives, each compound was administered to rats, and their metabolic profiles were compared with those administered with BGP. Artepillin C is metabolized to hydroxylated metabolites (capillartemisin A), as well as glucuronide. Drupanin sulfate, glucuronide, and hydroxylated form were detected in plasma both after ingestion of drupanin and its 3-phenylpropionic acid ester (baccharin). p-Coumaric acid underwent sulfation, but not glucuronidation. These results reveal that the metabolic pathways of cinnamic acid derivatives in rats comprise ester hydrolysis and hydroxylation, as well as phase-II conjugation. Our findings may provide significant information for estimating the potential activity of various cinnamic acid derivatives derived from functional food materials.

    Brazilian green propolis (BGP) has chemical compounds from botanical origin that are mainly cinnamic acid derivatives (artepillin C, baccharin, and drupanin) and flavonoids (kaempferide and 6-methoxykaempferide). These compounds are expected to play an important role in the pharmacological activities of BGP. However, there is little known about the pharmacokinetics and metabolism of these compounds after oral administration of BGP. The aim of this study is to investigate the pharmacokinetics and metabolism of BGP components in humans. Twelve volunteers received 3 capsules containing 360 mg of BGP ethanol extract powder. Plasma samples were collected before and up to 24 h after the intake of BGP capsules. The collected plasma samples with or without hydrolysis by the deconjugating enzyme were analyzed by LC/MS/MS. After enzymatic hydrolysis, the Cmax values of artepillin C and drupanin, which were detected mainly in plasma after ingestion of BGP capsules, were 1255 ± 517 and 2893 ± 711 nM, respectively, of which 89.3% and 88.2% were found to be the phenolic glucuronide conjugate. This is the first time that the pharmacokinetics of the BGP components of human metabolites have been reported. Our results could provide useful information for the design and interpretation of studies to investigate the mechanisms and pharmacological effects of BGP.

    Reinforcement of the hydroperoxide-eliminating activity in the small and large intestines should prevent associated diseases. We previously isolated a lactic acid bacterium, Pediococcus pentosaceus Be1 that facilitates a 2-electron reduction of hydrogen peroxide to water. In this study, we successfully isolated an alternative lactic acid bacterium, Lactobacillus plantarum P1-2, that can efficiently reduce environmental alkyl hydroperoxides and fatty acid hydroperoxides to their corresponding hydroxyl derivatives through a 2-electron reduction. Each strain exhibited a wide concentration range with regard to the environmental reducing activity for each hydroperoxide. Given this, the two lactic acid bacteria were orally administered to an oxygen-sensitive short-lived nematode mutant, and this resulted in a significant expansion of its lifespan. This observation suggests that P. pentosaceus Be1 and L. plantarum P1-2 inhibit internal oxidative stress. To determine the specific organs involved in this response, we performed a similar experiment in rats, involving induced lipid peroxidation by iron-overloading. We observed that only L. plantarum P1-2 inhibited colonic mucosa lipid peroxidation in rats with induced oxidative stress.

    Quercetin is a major dietary flavonoid found in onions and other vegetables. It is known that dietary quercetin is metabolized in the intestinal mucosa and the liver and is present as its glucuronide/sulfate conjugates with or without methylation. Although quercetin is known to possess strong antioxidant activity, there are only limited reports on the antioxidant activity of its metabolites. In this study, the antioxidant capacity of quercetin metabolites under physiological conditions was investigated. After consumption of cooked onion, more than 80% of quercetin metabolites were localized in the human plasma fraction containing concentrated serum albumin. Other lipoprotein fractions contained only small amounts of quercetin metabolites. Addition of quercetin 3-O-beta-glucuronide to the lipoprotein-eliminated plasma fraction generated antioxidant activity against LDL oxidation in a dose-dependent manner. However, onion consumption failed to enhance the antioxidant activity of the lipoprotein-eliminated plasma fraction against LDL oxidation, probably because the amount of quercetin metabolites bound to albumin was less than the effective level in an ex vivo study. The physiological role of plasma albumin in retaining quercetin metabolites needs to be further clarified.

    The efficiency of intestinal absorption and metabolic conversion of quercetin aglycone and its glucosides, quercetin-4'-O-beta-D-glucoside (Q4'G), quercetin-3-O-beta-D-glucoside (Q3G), and quercetin-3,4'-di-O-beta-D-glucoside (Q3,4'G), was estimated by using Caco-2 cell monolayers as an intestinal epithelial cell model. Aglycone was significantly lost from the apical side, resulting in the appearance of free and conjugated forms of quercetin and those of isorhamnetin in the cellular extracts. In the basolateral solution, the conjugated form of quercetin was predominant and increased with the elapse of incubation. As compared with quercetin aglycone, none of the quercetin glucosides were absorbed efficiently from apical side. However, Q4'G yielded conjugated quercetin and isorhamnetin in basolateral solution at higher amounts than Q3G or Q3,4'G. Lipophilicity of Q4'G was found to be higher than that of Q3G or Q3,4'G. This suggests that lipophilicity contributes to the relatively efficient absorption of Q4'G. It is likely that the occurrence of hydrolysis enhances the efficiency of intestinal absorption and metabolic conversion of dietary quercetin glucosides.

  • Absorption and Metabolism of Polyphenols: Hydrophilicity/Hydrophobicity of Flavonoid Glycosides and Their Bioavailability

    Murota Kaeko

    Foods & Food Ingredients Journal of Japan   231 ( 1 )   016 - 023   2026.01（ ISSN:0919-9772 ） （ eISSN:2436-5998 ）

    　More details

    This article discusses the absorption and metabolism of polyphenols, focusing on the glycosides of quercetin, a representative flavonoid, and the effects of side chain structure and hydrophilicity/hydrophobicity on bioavailability.<br>
    Most flavonoids are <i>O</i>-glycosides in which a sugar chain is β-linked to a phenolic hydroxyl group. Only a small proportion of flavonoid glycosides are absorbed in their original form after ingestion; most are hydrolyzed before absorption and/or further catabolized by intestinal microbiota. It is known that the site of absorption in the digestive tract differs depending on the number and type of sugar chains attached to <i>O</i>-glycosides. The stomach is an important site for anthocyanin absorption in their intact glycoside form. Flavonoid glycosides other than anthocyanins do not undergo structural changes in the stomach and are transported to the small intestine. Lactase hydrolyzes <i>O</i>-monoglucosides with various flavonoid backbones. In addition to the LPH pathway, it has also been reported that glucosides are taken up into the enterocytes as substrates of the sodium-glucose cotransporter (SGLT1) and then hydrolyzed by cytosolic β-glucosidase.<br>
    Glycosides other than monoglucosides are transported intact to the distal intestine, where they undergo metabolism by intestinal microbiota. The contribution of microbial degradation and enterohepatic circulation may exceed the influence of LPH expression. Flavonoid <i>C</i>-glycosides are poorly absorbed in the small intestine because they are not hydrolyzed; however, some are absorbed intact as glycosides.<br>
    Monoglucosides exhibit higher polarity than their aglycone forms after sugar removal, yet their polarity is not enough to dissolve readily in aqueous solutions. Industrially, molecules with enhanced water solubility are produced by enzymatically modifying the glycoside side chain, namely, removing β-linkages and then modifying the sugar chain with α-glucoside linkages that can be hydrolyzed by digestive enzymes in the body. Enzymatically modified isoquercitrin is one such example, and we have shown that it promotes the absorption of quercetin.<br>
    Polyphenols exist in the body as various conjugated metabolites. Flavonoid conjugates produced in the small intestine are mainly transported to the liver via the portal vein. Quercetin metabolites are not localized to lipoproteins in plasma. We have reported that flavonoids appear in lymphatic fluid after gastric and intestinal absorption. They exist in lymphatic fluid as highly water-soluble conjugates similarly to plasma, and are not incorporated into chylomicrons, unlike fat-soluble substances that are generally transported to the lymphatic system. However, due to their affinity for liposome membranes, conjugates may interact with the surfaces of lipoproteins such as chylomicrons in lymph and LDL in plasma.<br>
    To date, the physiological significance of lymphatic transport of flavonoids has not been elucidated. It is known that lymphatic transport functions as a pathway for delivering drug molecules with less metabolic change to peripheral tissues by bypassing the first-pass metabolic process in the liver. If lymphatic transport reduces the complex conjugates produced in the liver, it may facilitate flavonoid activity regulation through deconjugation. Since simultaneous administration with lipids promotes lymphatic transport of polyphenols, modifications that increase hydrophobicity, such as prenylation, can be expected to further promote lymphatic transport.<br>

    著者らはこれまで、フラボノイド配糖体の中でも特にケルセチンの配糖体に着目した生体利用性研究を行ってきた。フラボノイド配糖体を食品成分として摂取した場合、そのままの形で吸収される割合は低く、多くは加水分解で生じたアグリコンやその異化代謝物となって吸収される。そのため、フラボノイドの体内での機能性について明らかにするためには、フラボノイドの消化管内での消化・腸内細菌代謝動態を把握することが重要である。今回、ポリフェノールの消化吸収代謝について、化学構造という視点から、著者らの研究成果を含めこれまでの知見を以下の項目に分けて概説した。1)フラボノイド配糖体の消化吸収代謝。2)モノグルコシド配糖体の極性と吸収性。3)エステル体ポリフェノールの消化吸収代謝。4)ポリフェノールのリンパ系輸送経路と化学構造の関係。

    Flavonoids are present in various plant foods such as vegetables, fruits and beverages. Flavonoids are known as powerful antioxidants and have attracted much attention to their potential role in the prevention of various diseases. In plant foods, most flavonoids exist as glycosides and/or acidic forms, and the type of a sugar moiety is a major determinant of the intestinal absorption. In the gastrointestinal tract, dietary flavonoids are mainly absorbed as their aglycone forms by simple diffusion, whereas there are some kind of membrane transporters that may work for cellular influx of certain flavonoids. The predominant circulating molecules after an oral consumption are conjugative metabolites because flavonoids undergo extensive intestinal and hepatic glucuronidation and sulfation. ABC transporters have been shown to serve for the cellular efflux of flavonoid metabolites. This review will summarize the current literatures regarding on the transport mechanism of dietary flavonoids and their conjugative metabolites.

    Vegetables contain a variety of flavonoids, such as flavonols, flavones and anthocyanidins. Numerous in vitro studies have revealed diverse biochemical actions of flavonoids, and their antioxidant activity should be, at least partly, responsible for these actions. We are interested in quercetin (3, 3', 4', 5, 7-pentahydroxyflavone), a flavonol-type flavonoid as an anti-atherosclerotic food factor and have examined its bioavailability to evaluate the biological effect. Quercetin and other flavonoids frequently exist as their glycoside forms in vegetables. Glucoside-bound quercetin is absorbed and hydrolyzed in small intestine through glucose-transport system or passive transport after lactase phlorizin hydrolase (LPH)-dependent deglucosidation. Quercetin glycosides other than glucoside forms are likely to be absorbed in large intestine after hydrolysis with enterobacteria. Efficiency of the absorption is considerably affected by the coexisting food components. Lipids and emulsifiers were found to enhance the absorption. In any cases, resulting quercetin aglycone is converted to conjugated glucuronides and/or sulfates during the process of their absorption. Some metabolites circulating in the blood stream can act as free radical scavengers, as well as the inhibitors of lipoxygenase and xanthine oxidase. It is therefore likely that biological effect of quercetin is originated from conjugated metabolites. Metabolic conversion of flavonoids to their conjugates may be a process for regulating their action on cellular oxidative stress.
