Aim To study the biliary excretion characteristics of berberine,palmatine and jateorhizine in rat hepatocytes.Methods Berberine,palmatine and jateorhizine were incubated with the sandwich-cultured rat hepatocytes (SCRH) in standard Ca2+ buffer or Ca2+ free buffer.The accumulation of the three compounds under different conditions were measured by UPLC-MS/MS.The biliary excretion index and biliary clearance were calculated,and the effect of P-gp or Mrp2 inhibitor on the transport of three compounds was also investigated.Results While the incubation time increased,the accumulation of the three compounds also increased.There were obvious differences in accumulation of berberine,palmatine and jateorhizine in incubations treated with standard buffer and calcium-free buffer.The P-gp inhibitors ciclosporin A and verapamil could inhibit the biliary excretion of berberine,palmatine and jateorhizine.However,the Mrp2 inhibitors MK571 and probenecid had no effect on biliary excretion of the three compounds.Conclusions The biliary excretion of berberine,palmatine and jateorhizine is mainly through an active process.They are all the P-gp substrates other than Mrp2 substrates.%目的 研究小檗碱、巴马汀和药根碱在大鼠原代细胞的胆汁外排特征.方法 建立“三明治”培养大鼠原代肝细胞(sandwich cultured rat hepatocytes,SCRH)模型,分别加入小檗碱、巴马汀、药根碱,在含Ca2+和无Ca2+缓冲液中孵育,采用UPLC-MS/MS分别测定3种生物碱的细胞蓄积量,计算胆汁排泄指数和胆汁清除率,评价小檗碱、巴马汀、药根碱在大鼠原代细胞的胆汁外排特征;并考察P-gp、Mrp2抑制剂对3种活性成分在SCRH细胞模型中的外排转运影响.结果 随着孵育时间的延长,3种生物碱的细胞蓄积量增加,且含Ca2+条件下的细胞蓄积量与无Ca2+条件下相比具有明显差异;P-gp抑制剂环孢素A、维拉帕米均能减少小檗碱、巴马汀、药根碱的胆汁排泄,且呈浓度依赖性,Mrp2抑制剂MK571、丙磺舒对3种生物碱的胆汁排泄无明显影响.结论 小檗碱、巴马汀、药根碱均经过胆汁外排,P-gp介导了3种生物碱的胆汁外排,Mrp2未参与其胆汁排泄.
