Targets |
- Sodium-glucose cotransporter 1 (SGLT1) (Ki = 0.2 μM in rabbit intestinal brush-border membranes) [4]
- Sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT2) (IC50 = 3.9 μM in rat renal cortex) [3] |
---|---|
ln Vitro |
- Inhibition of intestinal glucose absorption: Phloridzin (0.1-10 μM) inhibited Na+-dependent glucose uptake in rabbit intestinal brush-border membrane vesicles, with maximum inhibition (~80%) at 10 μM. This effect was competitive with glucose, as indicated by increased Km values for glucose uptake without changing Vmax [4]
- Inhibition of renal glucose reabsorption: In rat renal cortex slices, Phloridzin (1-50 μM) reduced Na+-dependent glucose uptake in a concentration-dependent manner, with 50% inhibition at 3.9 μM. It had no significant effect on Na+-independent glucose transport [3] |
ln Vivo |
- Antihyperglycemic effect in diabetic rats: In streptozotocin-induced diabetic rats, intravenous administration of Phloridzin (5-20 mg/kg) dose-dependently reduced blood glucose levels by 30-60% within 1 hour, accompanied by a 5-10-fold increase in urinary glucose excretion. The effect lasted for 2-4 hours [2]
- Glucose tolerance improvement: In normal rats, oral Phloridzin (50 mg/kg) administered 30 minutes before an oral glucose load (2 g/kg) reduced the postprandial glucose peak by ~40% and blunted the glucose excursion over 2 hours [2] - Effect on insulin and glucagon: In diabetic rats, Phloridzin (10 mg/kg, i.v.) increased plasma insulin levels by ~25% and decreased glucagon levels by ~20% at 1 hour post-administration, possibly due to improved glucose utilization [1] |
Enzyme Assay |
- SGLT activity in brush-border membranes: Rabbit intestinal brush-border membrane vesicles were prepared and incubated with Phloridzin (0.1-100 μM) in the presence of [¹⁴C]-glucose and Na+ gradient. After 10 minutes, vesicles were filtered, and radioactivity was measured. Kinetic parameters (Km, Vmax) were calculated to determine competitive inhibition [4]
- Renal SGLT inhibition assay: Rat renal cortex slices were incubated with Phloridzin (1-50 μM) and [¹⁴C]-glucose in Na+-containing or Na+-free buffer. Glucose uptake was measured after 30 minutes, and IC50 was determined from the dose-response curve [3] |
Cell Assay |
Renal cell glucose uptake assay: Primary cultures of rat renal proximal tubule cells were treated with Phloridzin (5-50 μM) and [³H]-glucose in medium with or without Na+. After 1 hour, cells were lysed, and radioactivity was counted to assess Na+-dependent glucose uptake [3]
|
Animal Protocol |
- Diabetic rat model: Streptozotocin-induced diabetic rats (blood glucose >300 mg/dL) were anesthetized, and Phloridzin (5, 10, 20 mg/kg) was administered via tail vein injection. Blood glucose was measured at 0, 30, 60, 120, and 240 minutes using a glucometer. Urine was collected over 4 hours to quantify glucose excretion via colorimetric assay [2]
- Oral glucose tolerance test: Normal rats were fasted overnight, then given Phloridzin (50 mg/kg) by oral gavage. Thirty minutes later, they received an oral glucose load (2 g/kg). Blood glucose was measured at 0, 30, 60, 90, and 120 minutes [2] |
ADME/Pharmacokinetics |
- Oral absorption: Phloridzin has low oral bioavailability (~10%) in rats due to hydrolysis by intestinal β-glucosidases, producing phloretin and glucose [2]
- Metabolism: In vivo, Phloridzin is rapidly metabolized to phloretin (aglycone) in the intestine and liver, which is further conjugated with glucuronic acid [2] - Excretion: In rats, intravenously administered Phloridzin (10 mg/kg) is excreted primarily in urine (60-70%) within 24 hours, mostly as metabolites [2] |
Toxicity/Toxicokinetics |
- Acute toxicity: In mice, the LD50 of Phloridzin after intraperitoneal injection is ~500 mg/kg, with death occurring within 24 hours due to severe hypoglycemia [2]
- Chronic toxicity: Rats treated with Phloridzin (20 mg/kg/day, i.p.) for 4 weeks showed no significant changes in liver or kidney function tests, but slight weight loss (~5%) was observed [1] |

Additional Infomation |
- Phloridzin is a natural glycoside isolated from apple tree bark (Malus pumila). It was one of the first identified SGLT inhibitors and serves as a prototype for the development of SGLT2 inhibitors used in type 2 diabetes treatment [1][2]
- Its mechanism of action involves blocking renal glucose reabsorption and intestinal glucose absorption, thereby reducing blood glucose levels through increased urinary glucose excretion [3][4] |
