Abstract

Berberine (1) is an alkaloid used widely in the treatment of several diseases. However, its physicochemical properties, pharmacokinetics, and metabolism remain unclear, and conflicting data have been reported. In this study, the main physicochemical properties of 1 and its metabolites were evaluated, including lipophilicity, solubility, pKa, and albumin binding. A sensitive HPLC-ESIMS/MS method was developed and validated to identify 1 and its main metabolites in human plasma. This method was used to quantify their levels in the plasma of healthy volunteers and hypercholesterolemic patients following a single dose and chronic administration, respectively. In both cases, berberrubine (2) was found to be the main metabolite. Surprisingly, 2 is more lipophilic than 1, which suggests that this compound tautomerizes to a highly conjugated, electroneutral quinoid structure. This was confirmed by NMR studies. These results indicate that the higher plasma concentration of 2 was a consequence of a more efficient intestinal absorption, suggesting that berberrubine is potentially more pharmacologically active than berberine.

Abstract

Background and aim: Although the lack of extensive data in humans, bile acids (BAs) and particularly CDCA a potent FXR and TGR5 ligand, are signaling molecules in glucose, lipid and energy metabolism. Aim of our study was to evaluate serum BA profile including Glycine (G), Taurine (T) and Unconjugated (U)-Bas in blood donors (BD) and to identify correlations between individual BA concentration in normal and insulin-resistant (IR) subjects. Material and methods:We prospectively enrolled 160 blood donors from our Transfusion Center, from January to June 2011. Exclusion criteria were: alteration in blood tests, history of liver or GI disease, previous abdominal surgery and treatment with metabolic and GI medications. All patients underwent biochemistry tests (fasting glucose and insulin, total cholesterol, HDL, LDL, triglycerides (TG), ALT, GammaGT, ALP) and serum BA profile measurement (HPLC-ESI-MS/MS). All patients underwent an abdominal ultrasound within a week from enrollment. Medical history, laboratory parameters and ultrasonographic findings of all subjects were reviewed from our physicians and subjects were classified as Healthy (H, n=120), IR (n=28) and gallstone subjects (GS, n=12, excluded from analysis). Results: 148 subjects (84 male/64 female; mean age 41.7±12.6) met the inclusion criteria. BMI was 25.1±3.7; total cholesterol 194.6±35.6; HDL 60.5±15.2; TG 91.8±48.7; ALT, GammaGt, ALP and other mean biochemical index were within normal limits. In IR subjects, total serum BAs (5.02±2.39 vs 3.56±2.55 μmol/l; P= 0.0017), serum unconjugated BAs (1.95±1.25 vs 1.40±1.17 μmol/l; P= 0.025) and CDCA (2.28±1.39 vs 1.63±1.43; P=0.03) were significantly higher than in healthy subjects. On multivariate analysis, BMI (r=0.35; P
