title: A phosphorylated phloretin derivative. Synthesis and effect on intestinal Na(+)-dependent phosphate absorption.
abstract: 2'-Phosphophloretin (2'-PP), a phosphorylated derivative of the plant chalcone, was synthesized. The effect of 2'-PP, on Na(+)-dependent phosphate uptake into intestinal brush-border membrane vesicles (BBMV) isolated from rabbit and rat duodenum and jejunum was examined. 2'-PP decreased Na(+)-dependent phosphate uptake into rabbit BBMV with an IC(50) of 55 nM and into rat BBMV with an IC(50) of 58 nM. 2'-PP did not affect Na(+)-dependent glucose, Na(+)-dependent sulfate, or Na(+)-dependent alanine uptake by rabbit intestinal BBMVs. 2'-PP inhibition of rabbit intestinal BBMV Na(+)-dependent phosphate uptake was sensitive to external phosphate concentration, suggesting that 2'-PP inhibition of Na(+)-dependent phosphate uptake was competitive with respect to phosphate. Binding of [(3)H]2'-PP to rabbit intestinal BBMV was examined. Binding of [(3)H]2'-PP was Na(+)-dependent with a K(0.5) for Na(+)(Na(+) concentration for 50% 2'-PP binding) of 30 mM. The apparent K(s) for Na(+)-dependent [(3)H]2'-PP binding to rabbit BBMVs was 58 nM in agreement with the IC(50) for 2'-PP inhibition of Na(+)-dependent phosphate uptake. These results indicate that 2'-PP bound to rabbit or rat intestinal BBMV Na(+)-phosphate cotransporter and inhibited Na(+)-dependent phosphate uptake. In rats treated with 2'-PP by daily gavage, the effect of 2'-PP on serum phosphate, serum glucose, and serum calcium was examined. In a concentration-dependent manner, 2'-PP reduced serum phosphate by 45% 1 wk after starting treatment. 2'-PP did not alter serum calcium or serum glucose. The apparent IC(50) for 2'-PP in vivo was 3 microM.
