Abstract:
Hydroxysafflor yellow A (HSYA), a primary active component in Carthami Flos, has been extensively applied in the treatment of cardiometabolic diseases. In this study, a natural deep eutectic solvent composed of glucose and choline chloride with 10% (v/v) of water (90% GCH) was evaluated to enhance the oral absorption of HSYA. Compared with HSYA in water, the relative oral bioavailability of HSYA in 90% GCH was increased to 326.08%. Furthermore, 90% GCH was demonstrated to decrease the mucus viscosity and increase the absorption rate constant of HSYA in the jejunum by 2.95 times. A pharmacodynamic study revealed that HSYA in 90% GCH was more effective in reducing body weight and correcting steatohepatitis and dyslipidemia in high-fat diet-induced obese rats. Serum metabolomics results showed that the correction of serum aromatic amino acid disorder may contribute to the anti-obesity effect of HSYA in 90% GCH. In conclusion, 90% GCH could be a delivery carrier for HSYA against obesity.
