Abstract

Functional constipation (FC), a common symptom that is primarily associated with intestinal motility dysfunction, is a common problem worldwide. Arctiin (Arc) is a lignan glycoside isolated from the Chinese herbal medicine Arctium lappa L., which is a health food in China. The present study aimed to evaluate the laxative effects of Arc against FC in mice. A model of FC induced by loperamide (5 mg/kg) was established in male Institute of Cancer Research (ICR) mice. Arc was administered at a dose of 100 mg/kg as a protective agent. The faecal status, intestinal motility and histological analyses were evaluated. Furthermore, the levels of gastrointestinal motility‑associated neurotransmitters, such as motilin (MTL), nitric oxide (NO), and brain‑derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) and the protective effect of Arc on interstitial cells of Cajal (ICC) were assessed. Arc treatment reversed the loperamide‑induced reduction in faecal number and water content and the intestinal transit ratio in ICR mice. Histological analysis confirmed that Arc administration mitigated colonic injury. Moreover, Arc treatment increased levels of motilin and brain‑derived neurotrophic factor while decreasing nitric oxide levels and ICC injury in the colon of FC mice. Arc decreased inflammation induction and aquaporin expression levels. Owing to its pro‑intestinal motility property, Arc was shown to have a protective effect against FC and may thus serve as a promising therapeutic strategy for the management of FC.
