Product Description
7-keto-lithocholic acid is the metabolite of cholic acid in Clostridium absonum. 7-keto-lithocholic acid can also be transformed from Lactobacillus and Bifidobacterium under specific conditions.
7-keto-Deoxycholic acid (CAS: 911-40-0) is a bile acid metabolite, also known as 7-ketolithocholic acid or 3α,12α-dihydroxy-7-oxo-5β-cholic acid. The molecular formula is C24H38O5 and molecular weight is 406.56. This compound is a metabolite of cholic acid produced by Clostridium absonum and can also be converted from Lactobacillus and Bifidobacterium under specific conditions. 7-keto-Deoxycholic acid is a 7-oxosteroid and oxo-5β-cholic acid, and it is the conjugate acid of 3α,12α-dihydroxy-7-oxo-5β-cholic acid. Bile acids and their metabolites play important roles in lipid digestion and absorption, cholesterol homeostasis, and regulation of various metabolic processes. 7-keto-Deoxycholic acid is a key intermediate in the microbial metabolism of bile acids in the gut, where gut microbiota convert primary bile acids to secondary bile acids through dehydroxylation and oxidation reactions. The compound is useful for studying bile acid metabolism, gut microbiota function, and the role of bile acid metabolites in health and disease.
Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
As a bile acid metabolite, 7-keto-Deoxycholic acid does not have a specific defined biological target in the same way as a drug. However, bile acids and their metabolites interact with various receptors and signaling pathways including the farnesoid X receptor (FXR), the G protein-coupled bile acid receptor (TGR5/GPBAR1), and other nuclear receptors. 7-keto-Deoxycholic acid may modulate these pathways, influencing bile acid synthesis, glucose metabolism, lipid metabolism, and energy homeostasis. The compound is also a substrate or product of microbial enzymes involved in bile acid metabolism, including 7α-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenases and 7β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenases. By studying this metabolite, researchers can gain insights into the complex interplay between the gut microbiome, bile acid metabolism, and host physiology. The compound is a valuable tool for studying bile acid biology and the role of the gut microbiome in health and disease.
ln Vitro
7-ketolithocholic acid exhibits an increased rate of biotransformation when equimolar amounts of non-metabolized deoxycholic acid are added [1]. Deoxycholic acid induces 7-ketolithocholic acid, which is subsequently metabolized [1]. 3.7% of 2 mM cholic acid is converted to 7-ketodeoxycholic acid and 81.7% to deoxycholic acid by the E. lentum-like c-25 in an anaerobic culture [2]. Under anaerobic culture, E. lentum-like c-25 converts 1.1% of 150 mg/mL of cholic acid into 7-ketodeoxycholic acid and 91.5% of the original acid into deoxycholic acid [2].
In vitro, 7-keto-Deoxycholic acid has been studied for its role in bile acid metabolism. When equimolar amounts of non-metabolized deoxycholic acid are added, 7-ketolithocholic acid exhibits an increased rate of biotransformation. Deoxycholic acid induces 7-ketolithocholic acid, which is subsequently metabolized. In anaerobic culture, E. lentum-like c-25 converts 3.7% of 2 mM cholic acid to 7-ketodeoxycholic acid and 81.7% to deoxycholic acid. Under similar conditions, 1.1% of 150 mg/mL of cholic acid is converted to 7-ketodeoxycholic acid and 91.5% to deoxycholic acid. These in vitro studies demonstrate the microbial conversion of cholic acid to 7-keto-Deoxycholic acid and other bile acid metabolites. The compound's role as a metabolite makes it useful for studying bile acid transformation pathways and the enzymes involved in these processes.
ln Vivo
In vivo, 7-keto-Deoxycholic acid is a metabolite of cholic acid produced by gut microbiota including Clostridium absonum. The compound can be detected in biological samples such as feces, bile, and plasma, reflecting the activity of the gut microbiome in bile acid metabolism. The compound may play a role in regulating bile acid homeostasis and influencing host metabolism through interactions with bile acid receptors. However, specific in vivo effects of exogenously administered 7-keto-Deoxycholic acid have not been extensively reported. The compound is primarily studied as a metabolite marker and as a tool for understanding bile acid metabolism and gut microbiome function. Researchers interested in in vivo applications should consult the primary literature for updated information.
Enzyme Assay
In vitro enzyme assays for 7-keto-Deoxycholic acid focus on its role as a substrate or product of microbial enzymes involved in bile acid metabolism. 7α-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenases and 7β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenases catalyze the interconversion of 7-hydroxy and 7-keto bile acids. These enzyme activities can be measured using spectrophotometric assays that monitor NAD(P)H production or consumption, or by HPLC analysis of substrate and product. The compound's conversion from cholic acid by gut bacteria (e.g., Clostridium absonum, E. lentum-like c-25) can be studied in anaerobic cultures. These assays are useful for characterizing the enzymes and bacteria involved in bile acid metabolism and for studying the factors that influence bile acid transformation.
Cell Assay
Cell-based assays for 7-keto-Deoxycholic acid are not extensively documented. As a bile acid metabolite, the compound may be studied in cell lines relevant to bile acid biology, such as hepatocytes (e.g., HepG2), intestinal epithelial cells (e.g., Caco-2), or cells expressing bile acid receptors (e.g., FXR, TGR5). Cells would be treated with the compound at various concentrations, and effects on gene expression (e.g., FXR target genes), signaling pathways, and cellular functions would be assessed. However, specific cell-based assay protocols for 7-keto-Deoxycholic acid are not well-documented in the available literature. Researchers should develop appropriate cell-based assays based on the compound's mechanism of action and research objectives.
Animal Protocol
In vivo animal experiments with 7-keto-Deoxycholic acid are not extensively documented. As a bile acid metabolite, the compound could be administered to animal models to study its effects on bile acid metabolism, gut microbiome function, and host physiology. Typical study designs would involve administration of the compound (oral, intraperitoneal, or intravenous) to rodents, followed by collection of biological samples (blood, bile, feces, tissues) for analysis of bile acid profiles, metabolic parameters, and gene expression. However, no specific in vivo protocols have been reported in the available literature. Researchers should consult primary literature and conduct appropriate studies based on their research questions.
ADME/Pharmacokinetics
Pharmacokinetic properties of 7-keto-Deoxycholic acid have not been extensively characterized. As a bile acid metabolite, it is expected to be absorbed in the intestine and undergo enterohepatic circulation, similar to other bile acids. The compound has molecular weight 406.56 and molecular formula C24H38O5. It is a white to off-white solid powder with melting point 54-60°C and logP 3.656. The compound is soluble in organic solvents. Storage: powder at -20°C for 3 years, in solvent at -80°C for 1 year. Specific pharmacokinetic parameters such as half-life, Cmax, AUC, and bioavailability have not been reported. Researchers planning in vivo studies should conduct appropriate pharmacokinetic characterization.
Toxicity/Toxicokinetics
Toxicology data for 7-keto-Deoxycholic acid are limited in publicly available sources. As a naturally occurring bile acid metabolite, the compound is expected to have relatively low toxicity, but specific toxicology studies have not been reported. The compound is for research use only and is not approved for human therapeutic use. Standard laboratory safety precautions should be followed when handling the compound. The compound should be stored properly and disposed of in accordance with applicable regulations. Researchers should consult the material safety data sheet (MSDS) for detailed safety information. No specific toxicity data (LD50, organ-specific toxicity, etc.) have been reported.
