In the present study, the pharmacokinetics and bioavailability studies of morroniside were conducted on Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats. A rat in situ intestinal perfusion model was used to characterize the absorption of morroniside. Caco-2 cells were used to examine the transport mechanisms of morroniside. The pharmacokinetic study of morroniside exhibited linear dose-proportional pharmacokinetic characteristics and low bioavailability (4.3 %) in SD rats. Its average Peff value for transport across the small intestinal segments changed from (3.09 ㊣ 2.03) ℅ 10每6 to (4.53 ㊣ 0.94) ℅ 10每6 cm s每1. In Caco-2 cells, the Papp values ranged from (1.61 ㊣ 0.53) ℅ 10每9 to (1.19 ㊣ 0.22) ℅ 10每7 cm s每1 for the apical to basolateral side and the Pratio values at three concentrations were all lower than 1.16. Morroniside showed poor absorption and it might not be a specific substrate of P-glycoprotein (P-gp) %K morroniside %K pharmacokinetics %K absorption %K rats %K in situ single-pass intestinal perfusion %K Caco-2 cell %U https://hrcak.srce.hr/index.php?show=clanak&id_clanak_jezik=305144
