Product Description
3-Oxocholic acid is an oxo-bile acid (secondary bile acid) and a metabolite of cholic acid isolated from C. perfringens, which is a bacteria found in the intestines of mammals and in the environment. 3-Oxocholic acid serum levels increase following ileal transposition surgery in rats.
3-Oxocholic acid (CAS#: 2304-89-4) is a bile acid derived from cholesterol metabolism, chemically known as 7α,12α-dihydroxy-3-oxo-5β-cholan-24-oic acid. With the molecular formula C24H38O5 and a molecular weight of 406.56, this compound is a 3-oxo-5β-steroid and a dihydroxy-5β-cholanic acid. It is characterized by the presence of a keto group at the C-3 position and hydroxyl groups at the C-7 and C-12 positions. 3-Oxocholic acid is a metabolite found predominantly in the bile of mammals. It is also known as 3-dehydrocholic acid and is a conjugate acid of 7α,12α-dihydroxy-3-oxo-5β-cholan-24-oate.
Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
3-Oxocholic acid does not have a specific pharmacological target, as it is an endogenous bile acid metabolite. Bile acids and their metabolites, including 3-oxocholic acid, interact with various receptors and transporters involved in lipid metabolism and energy homeostasis. They are ligands for the farnesoid X receptor (FXR) and the G protein-coupled bile acid receptor (TGR5), which regulate bile acid synthesis, glucose metabolism, and inflammation. 3-Oxocholic acid may also interact with other nuclear receptors and transporters, but its specific binding affinities and activities have not been extensively characterized.
ln Vitro
3-Oxocholic acid does not possess significant pharmacological activity as it is an endogenous metabolite rather than a drug candidate. Its in vitro activity is related to its role as a bile acid metabolite that may modulate the activity of bile acid receptors such as FXR and TGR5. Studies on 3-oxocholic acid typically involve measuring its effects on receptor activation or its role as a biomarker for bile acid metabolism. The compound is also used as a reference standard in analytical chemistry for the identification and quantification of bile acids in biological samples.
ln Vivo
Ileal transposition (IT) surgery is performed on male Goto-Kakizaki (GK) rats. The metabolomics research shows that the IT rats have higher 3-Oxocholic acid than the Sham-IT animals[2].
In vivo activity of 3-oxocholic acid is related to its role as an endogenous bile acid metabolite. Bile acids and their metabolites are involved in the regulation of lipid metabolism, glucose homeostasis, and inflammation. 3-Oxocholic acid is found in blood, feces, and urine, indicating that it is produced and excreted as part of normal bile acid metabolism. Its levels may be altered in various disease states, such as liver disease or metabolic disorders, making it a potential biomarker for these conditions. However, the specific in vivo effects of 3-oxocholic acid have not been extensively studied.
Enzyme Assay
In vitro enzyme/receptor binding experiments for 3-oxocholic acid are not typical, as it is an endogenous metabolite rather than a pharmacologically active compound. However, studies may involve measuring its ability to activate bile acid receptors such as FXR or TGR5 in cell-based reporter assays. The compound can also be used as a reference standard in analytical chemistry for the identification and quantification of bile acids in biological samples using techniques such as HPLC or mass spectrometry. Its chemical properties, including its keto and hydroxyl groups, are characterized using standard analytical methods.
Cell Assay
In vitro cellular experiments for 3-oxocholic acid typically involve studying its effects on cells that express bile acid receptors, such as hepatocytes or intestinal cells. Cells are treated with the compound, and the activation of FXR or TGR5 is measured using reporter gene assays or by monitoring downstream signaling pathways. The compound can also be used to study its effects on bile acid transport and metabolism in cellular models. Cytotoxicity is assessed in parallel to ensure that the compound does not adversely affect cell viability at the concentrations used.
Animal Protocol
In vivo animal experiments for 3-oxocholic acid are not typical, as it is an endogenous metabolite rather than a drug candidate. However, studies may involve administering the compound to animals to study its effects on bile acid metabolism or to validate its use as a biomarker. Blood, feces, and urine samples are collected to measure the levels of 3-oxocholic acid and other bile acids. The compound's role in regulating lipid metabolism and energy homeostasis may also be studied in animal models of metabolic disease.
ADME/Pharmacokinetics
Pharmacokinetic properties of 3-oxocholic acid are related to its role as an endogenous bile acid metabolite. Bile acids are synthesized in the liver, secreted into the bile, and reabsorbed in the intestine through enterohepatic circulation. 3-Oxocholic acid is found in blood, feces, and urine, indicating that it is produced and excreted as part of normal bile acid metabolism. Its levels may be influenced by factors such as diet, liver function, and gut microbiota. Detailed pharmacokinetic studies of 3-oxocholic acid as a drug candidate have not been performed.
Toxicity/Toxicokinetics
Toxicological data for 3-oxocholic acid are limited, as it is an endogenous metabolite rather than a drug candidate. Bile acids can be cytotoxic at high concentrations, but the toxicity of 3-oxocholic acid specifically has not been extensively characterized. Standard safety precautions for handling organic chemicals apply, including the use of personal protective equipment and working in a well-ventilated area. The compound is not intended for human consumption, and its toxicity profile has not been extensively characterized.
