Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Utilizing 5-HT syndrome rats, the effects of excessive level of 5-HT in the body and small intestine on the drug absorption from the small intestine have been investigated. As for the drug absorption via passive diffusion, the drug transport through transcellular route via passive diffusion was not changed at all for antipyrine. On the other hand, the drug transport through paracellular route via passive diffusion was significantly enhanced for FITC-dextran. As for the drug absorption via PEPT1, AUC of cephalexin after oral administration was significantly enhanced, suggesting the enhancement of its absorption. The transport study utilizing an isolated sheet of small intestine indicated that the activity of PEPT1 in jejunum was significantly decreased and that the transport via passive diffusion was enhanced in both jejunum and ileum.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements |
多くの重篤な消化器疾患では5-HT代謝異常を含むENSの機能異常が深く関わっていると考えられている。一方で5-HT代謝異常時における薬物吸収挙動に関する情報はほとんどない。本研究で得られた成果は5-HT異常時に細胞間隙経路を介した薬物吸収、PEPT1を介した薬物吸収が変動する可能性を示唆することに成功しており引き続きの研究遂行により5-HTが関与する消化器系疾患時における有効かつ安全な薬物治療を行うための投与設計立案に結び付くものと考える。ENSによる薬物吸収制御に関する検討は依然として極めて少なく学問的に有意義であるばかりでなく病態時における吸収特性の変化を理解するために重要な知見と考える。
