We investigated the impact of human intestinal microbiota on bioavailability of the flavone apigenin-7-glucoside (A7G) by comparing germ-free and human microbiota-associated (HMA) rats. First, the ability of the human intestinal microbiota to convert A7G was proven in vitro by incubating A7G with fecal suspensions. Apigenin, naringenin, and 3-(4-hydroxyphenyl)propionic acid were formed as main metabolites. After application of A7G to germ-free rats, apigenin, luteolin, and their conjugates were detected in urine and feces. In HMA rats, naringenin, eriodictyol, phloretin, 3-(3,4-dihydroxyphenyl)propionic acid, 3-(4-hydroxyphenyl)propionic acid, 3-(3-hydroxyphenyl)propionic acid, and 4-hydroxycinnamic acid in their free and conjugated forms were additionally formed. In whole-blood samples from germ-free and HMA rats, only apigenin conjugates and phloretin, respectively, were detected. The total excretion of A7G and its metabolites within 48 h was similarly low in both germ-free and HMA rats, with 11 and 13% of the A7G dose, respectively. In germ-free rats, A7G metabolites dominated by apigenin and its conjugates were mainly excreted with feces. In contrast, the compounds in HMA rats were predominantly recovered from urine, 3-(4-hydroxyphenyl)propionic acid being the main metabolite. The ability of selected gut bacteria and the host intestinal mucosa to deglycosylate A7G was tested using cell extracts. Apigenin was formed by cytosolic extracts of Eubacterium ramulus and Bacteroides distasonis and by the microsomal fraction of the small intestinal mucosa of rats. Overall, human intestinal microbiota largely contributed to A7G metabolism, indicating its influence on the bioactivity of flavones.
