Pallidifloside D, a saponin glycoside constituent from Smilax riparia, resist to hyperuricemia based on URAT1 and GLUT9 in hyperuricemic mice.

Abstract:

ETHNOPHARMACOLOGICAL RELEVANCE:The roots and rhizomes of Smilax riparia (SR), called "Niu-Wei-Cai" in traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), are believed to be effective in treating hyperuricemia and gout symptoms. This study was designed to isolate a saponin glycoside named pallidifloside D from the total saponins of Smilax riparia and to examine its effect in reducing serum uric acid levels in a hyperuricemic mouse model induced by potassium oxonate. MATERIALS AND METHODS:We examined the effects of pallidifloside D treated with 5, 10 and 20mg/kg on serum uric acid levels (SUA), Serum creatinine (SCr) and blood urea nitrogen (BUN) levels in a hyperuricemic mouse. A colorimetric method was used to evaluate the effects of pallidifloside D on the XOD activities, and Western Blotting analysis were carried out to observe protein levels of mURAT1, mGLUT9 and mOTA1 in hyperuricemic mice after treatment with pallidifloside D. RESULTS:The levels of serum uric acid levels (SUA) were suppressed significantly with dose-dependence by pallidifloside D treated with 5, 10 and 20mg/kg (p<0.05, p<0.01 and p<0.01 respectively). Pallidifloside D could down-regulate the expression levels of renal mURAT1 protein in hyperuricemic mice in a dose-dependent manner (p<0.05, p<0.01, and p<0.001 respectively), and the protein levels of mGLUT9 could be down-regulated with dose-dependence (p<0.05 and p<0.01 respectively) by pallidifloside D at the dose of 10 and 20mg/kg. CONCLUSION:These results suggest that pallidifloside D possesses a potent uricosuric effect in hyperuricemic mice through decreasing renal mURAT1 and GLUT9, which contribute to the enhancement of uric acid excretion and attenuate hyperuricemia-induced renal dysfunction.
