Six new pregnane glycosides with an acyl at C-12 and a straight sugar chain at C-3, namely otophyllosides H-M (1-6), were isolated from the roots of Cynanchum otophyllum (Asclepiadaceae) collected from Eryuan County in Yunnan province of China. Their structures were characterized to be qingyangshengenin 3-O-beta-d-glucopyranosyl-(1-->4)-beta-d-glucopyranosyl-(1-->4)-beta-d-cymaropyranosyl-(1-->4)-beta-d-oleandropyranosyl-(1-->4)-beta-d-digitoxopyranoside (1), qingyangshengenin 3-O-beta-d-glucopyranosyl-(1-->4)-beta-d-oleandropyranosyl-(1-->4)-beta-d-cymaropyranosyl-(1-->4)-beta-d-digitoxopyranoside (2), qingyangshengenin 3-O-beta-d-glucopyranosyl-(1-->4)-beta-d-cymaropyranosyl-(1-->4)-beta-d-oleandropyranosyl-(1-->4)-beta-d-cymaropyranosyl-(1-->4)-beta-d-digitoxopyranoside (3), qingyangshengenin 3-O-beta-d-glucopyranosyl-(1-->4)-beta-d-thevetopyranosyl-(1-->4)-beta-d-cymaropyranosyl-(1-->4)-beta-d-digitoxopyranoside (4), caudatin 3-O-beta-d-glucopyranosyl-(1-->4)-beta-d-glucopyranosyl-(1-->4)-beta-d-cymaropyranosyl-(1-->4)-beta-d-oleandropyranosyl-(1-->4)-beta-d-cymaropyranoside (5), caudatin 3-O-beta-d-glucopyranosyl-(1-->4)-beta-d-cymaropyranosyl-(1-->4)-beta-d-oleandropyranosyl-(1-->4)-beta-d-cymaropyranosyl-(1-->4)-beta-d-cymaropyranoside (6), respectively, on the basis of detailed spectroscopic analysis and chemical method.

(CA) is usually used to treat digestive disorders, such as anorexia, enteritis, dysentery, and indigestion. Functional dyspepsia (FD) is characterized by a group of symptoms associated with the gastroduodenal region. Recent pharmacological studies have demonstrated the efficacy of CA for treating FD.

Ethnopharmacological Relevance: Functional dyspepsia (FD) is a disorder caused by abnormal gut-brain axis regulation and is highly prevalent in China. Cynanchum auriculatum (CA) is often used to treat FD in the ethnic minority areas of Guizhou. Although several CA-based products are currently available in the market, it is unclear which components of CA are efficacious and what their oral absorption mechanism is.

In the present study, the excretion of four active components(qingyangshengenin, deacylmetaplexigenin, baishouwu benzophenone, and scopoletin) in Cynanchum auriculatum extract in the urine and feces of normal and functional dyspepsia(FD) rats was investigated. Rats were divided into a normal group and an FD model group. The FD model was induced by oral administration of ice hydrochloric acid combined with irregular feeding.

The present study aimed to investigate the intestinal absorption characteristics of six components(syringic acid, scopoletin, baishouwu benzophenone, caudatin, qingyangshengenin, and deacylmetaplexigenin) in Cynanchum auriculatum extract. In situ intestinal circulation perfusion model was employed to investigate the differences in intestinal absorption characteristics of C. auriculatum extract under the influence of different intestinal segments, different drug concentrations, and bile in the normal and functional dyspepsia(FD) states.

Article Synopsis
- The study examined how well the extract from Cynanchum auriculatum is absorbed in the intestines of normal versus functional dyspepsia (FD) model rats using an everted intestine sac model.
- The research identified six key chemical constituents in the extract and analyzed their absorption rates and mechanisms, finding that most were absorbed via passive diffusion, while scopoletin was absorbed through active transport.
- Results indicated differences in absorption characteristics between normal and FD model groups, highlighting that specific components were absorbed more effectively in the ileum and suggesting that FD status affects intestinal absorption patterns of these compounds, thus informing future clinical applications.
