Intestinal absorption of four cyclic dipeptides was studied in the everted small intestine of the rat. Cyclic seryltyrosine (cyclo(Ser-Tyr)) was stable enough to be transported whereas linear seryltyrosine was not. The absorption clearance of cyclo(Ser-Tyr) was concentration-dependent, and for cyclo(Ser-Tyr) at 125 microM decreased in the presence of glycylsarcosine (10 mM) or cephalexin (10 mM), which were reported to be absorbed by oligopeptide transporter. The absorption clearance was also reduced at 4 degrees C and in the presence of 1 mM dinitrophenol. Kinetic analysis of cyclo(Ser-Tyr) absorption showed that Km and Vmax were 19.8 microM and 0.295 nmol min(-1) cm(-1), respectively. It was also suggested that cyclic aspartylphenylalanine and cyclic histidylphenylalanine were absorbed by oligopeptide transporters, but cyclic histidylproline was not. The absorption clearance of cyclo(Ser-Tyr) in the control was much higher than the value of the correlation line representing a plot of passive transport (which was obtained from the absorption clearance of cyclic peptides in the presence of glycylsarcosine (10 mM)) against hydrophobicity (oil-water partition coefficient). These results indicate that cyclo(Ser-Tyr) is absorbed by the oligopeptide transporter.
