A new interpretation of salicylic acid transport across the lipid bilayer: implications of pH-dependent but not carrier-mediated absorption from the gastrointestinal tract.

چکیده
Transport of several monocarboxylic acids across the lipid bilayer was examined in liposomes consisting of egg yolk phosphatidylcholine and cholesterol. In the presence of inward proton gradient, salicylic acid (SA) was taken up rapidly by liposomes showing overshoot, saturation and competitive inhibition phenomena. These carrier-mediated like profiles of SA uptake can be explained by assuming a very high permeability through the liposomal membrane of protonated SA. Protonated SA in the extraliposomal solution (pH 5.8) was taken up by liposomes rapidly, followed by a redissociation to anion according to the intraliposomal pH (pH 7.5). The concentration gradient of protonated SA across the liposomal membrane is maintained until the intraliposomal pH decreased to the extraliposomal level, which facilitates the uptake of SA into liposomes. The permeability of the lipid bilayer to several compounds was estimated from the inhibitory effects of those compounds on SA uptake by liposomes. Good linear relationships were observed between their inhibitory effects on the liposomal uptake of SA and the permeability of the intestinal membrane to them determined both in vivo and in vitro. These results clearly indicate that the carrier-independent transport mechanism of monocarboxylic acids observed in liposomes significantly contributes to their absorption from the intestinal tract under physiological conditions.

pH-Dependent passive and active transport of acidic drugs across Caco-2 cell monolayers.
The aim of this study was to investigate pH-dependent passive and active transport of acidic drugs across Caco-2 cells. Therefore, the bidirectional pH-dependent transport of two acidic drugs, indomethacin and salicylic acid, across Caco-2 cells was studied in the physiological pH range of the gastrointestinal tract. The transport of both drugs decreased with increased pH, as expected from the ...

Background: The intestinal absorption of fatty acids may take place through simple diffusion as well as through protein carrier mediated transport, although the relative importance of each pathway is dependent on the ambient condition of entrocytes. Cad-mium ion influences the absorption of fatty acids in entrocytes. However, the effect of cadmium ion on the absorption of fatty acids in differe...
متن کاملAbsorption of homocitrulline from the gastrointestinal tract.
1. Transport of L-homocitrulline, an amino acid which occurs in milk products, was studied with rat small intestine in vitro and from the human mouth in vivo. Absorption was partially dependent, in both systems, on the presence of sodium ions. 2. Metabolic inhibitors decreased L-homocitrulline uptake across the small intestine. Transport across the intestine did not occur against the concentrat...
متن کاملInvolvement of human organic anion transporting polypeptide OATP-B (SLC21A9) in pH-dependent transport across intestinal apical membrane.
Some organic anions are absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract through carrier-mediated transport mechanism(s), which may include proton-coupled transport, anion exchange transport, and others. However, the molecular identity of the organic anion transporters localized at the apical membrane of human intestinal epithelial cells has not been clearly demonstrated. In the present study, we focus...
متن کاملAspirin inhibition of glucose absorption from the human mouth.
Aspirin inhibited glucose absorption from the gastrointestinal tract of the human in viuo (Arvanitakis et al., 1977) and the rat in vitro (Cooke el al., 1979). Glucose was absorbed from the human mouth apparently by a Na+-dependent carrier-mediated process (Manning & Evered, 1976). The aim of the present study was to investigate whether aspirin also inhibited glucose transport across buccal muc...
