| Targets |
Methyl cholate does not have a specific pharmacological target. It is the methyl ester form of cholic acid. Cholic acid, the parent compound, is one of the major bile acids produced by the liver, where it is synthesized from cholesterol. Bile acids function as detergents to emulsify fats and as signaling molecules.

| Cell Assay |
In vitro cellular studies are conducted using hepatocytes or other cell types to study bile acid metabolism and signaling. Cells are treated with methyl cholate at various concentrations. Bile acid uptake, metabolism, and efflux are assessed. Gene expression changes related to bile acid synthesis and metabolism are analyzed by qRT-PCR. Cell viability is assessed using standard cytotoxicity assays.
|
| Animal Protocol |
In vivo animal experiments are performed in models of bile acid metabolism and cholestasis. Animals are administered methyl cholate via oral gavage or injection. Bile acid levels in serum, liver, and bile are measured. Liver function tests and histopathological examination are performed. The compound's effects on lipid metabolism and inflammation are evaluated.
|
| ADME/Pharmacokinetics |
Methyl cholate has a molecular formula of C25H42O5 and a molecular weight of 422.60 g/mol. It appears as a white to almost white crystalline powder. For storage, it should be kept in a cool, dry place, protected from light and moisture. The compound is supplied with high purity for research purposes. It is the methyl ester form of cholic acid.
|
| Toxicity/Toxicokinetics |
As a research chemical, methyl cholate is not intended for human use. Its toxicological profile is not fully characterized. Standard laboratory safety precautions should be followed when handling it.

Solubility in Formulation 1: ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (5.92 mM) (saturation unknown) in 10% DMSO + 40% PEG300 + 5% Tween80 + 45% Saline (add these co-solvents sequentially from left to right, and one by one), clear solution.
For example, if 1 mL of working solution is to be prepared, you can add 100 μL of 25.0 mg/mL clear DMSO stock solution to 400 μL PEG300 and mix evenly; then add 50 μL Tween-80 to the above solution and mix evenly; then add 450 μL normal saline to adjust the volume to 1 mL. Preparation of saline: Dissolve 0.9 g of sodium chloride in 100 mL ddH₂ O to obtain a clear solution. Solubility in Formulation 2: ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (5.92 mM) (saturation unknown) in 10% DMSO + 90% (20% SBE-β-CD in Saline) (add these co-solvents sequentially from left to right, and one by one), clear solution. For example, if 1 mL of working solution is to be prepared, you can add 100 μL of 25.0 mg/mL clear DMSO stock solution to 900 μL of 20% SBE-β-CD physiological saline solution and mix evenly. Preparation of 20% SBE-β-CD in Saline (4°C,1 week): Dissolve 2 g SBE-β-CD in 10 mL saline to obtain a clear solution. View More

*Note: Please select an appropriate solvent for the preparation of stock solution based on your experiment needs. For most products, DMSO can be used for preparing stock solutions (e.g. 5 mM, 10 mM, or 20 mM concentration); some products with high aqueous solubility may be dissolved in water directly. Solubility information is available at the above Solubility Data section. Once the stock solution is prepared, aliquot it to routine usage volumes and store at -20°C or -80°C. Avoid repeated freeze and thaw cycles.
