Organoelement derivatives of steroids: Synthesis and structural features of organosilicon, -tin and -lead derivatives of cholesterol and desoxycholic…

1987

Some organo-Main-Group-IV-element compounds of steroids of the type R3M(COL), R2Sn(COL)2 and (R3M)2(HDCA) (where R = Me or Ph; M = Si, Sn and Pb; HCOL = cholest-5-en-3β-ol; H3DCA = 3α, 12α-dihydroxy-5β-cholan-24-oic acid), have been synthesized. The structures of these compounds have been investigated by vibrational, mass, NMR (1H, 13C, 29Si, 119Sn and 207Pb) and 119Sn Mossbauer spectroscopy. For Me3Sn(COL) both in solution and in the solid state an associated structure with distorted trigonal bipyramidal geometry around tin and three-coordinated oxygen atoms is postulated. Discrete tetrahedral geometries are assigned to Ph3M(COL) complexes and to R2Sn(COL)2 complexes in solution. The latte…

Experimental Studies on the Influence of Surfactants on Intestinal Absorption of Drugs Cefadroxil as model drug and sodium taurocholate as natural mo…

2011

The influence of the natural bile acid surfactant sodium taurocholate (CAS 81-24-3) on colic and duodenal (i.e. the proximal third of the small intestine) absorption of cefadroxil (CAS 50370-12-2) was studied using the in situ rat gut technique, and compared with the effect of sodium lauryl sulfate (CAS 151-21-3), the most widely used synthetic anionic surfactant. Previously, the stability, compatibility, and micelle-solubilization characteristics of taurocholate were assessed in order to correct, when necessary, the absorption results. White the passive absorption rate constants (kf, h-1) determined in colon in the presence of increasing lauryl sulfate concentrations showed an asymptotic v…

Epigenetic Regulation of Early- and Late-Response Genes in Acute Pancreatitis

2015

Abstract Chromatin remodeling seems to regulate the patterns of proinflammatory genes. Our aim was to provide new insights into the epigenetic mechanisms that control transcriptional activation of early- and late-response genes in initiation and development of severe acute pancreatitis as a model of acute inflammation. Chromatin changes were studied by chromatin immunoprecipitation analysis, nucleosome positioning, and determination of histone modifications in promoters of proinflammatory genes in vivo in the course of taurocholate-induced necrotizing pancreatitis in rats and in vitro in rat pancreatic AR42J acinar cells stimulated with taurocholate or TNF-α. Here we show that the upregulat…

Methods for diagnosing bile acid malabsorption: a systematic review

2019

Abstract Background Bile acid malabsorption (BAM) and bile acid-related diarrhea represent an under-recognized cause of chronic diarrhea mainly because of limited guidance on appropriate diagnostic and laboratory tests. We aimed to perform a systematic review of the literature in order to identify and compare the diagnostic accuracy of different diagnostic methods for patients with BAM, despite a proven gold standard test is still lacking. Methods A PubMed literature review and a manual search were carried out. Relevant full papers, evaluating the diagnostic accuracy of different methods for BAM, were assessed. Available data were analyzed to estimate the sensitivity and specificity of each…

Microwave assisted synthesis and solid-state characterization of lithocholyl amides of isomeric aminopyridines

2011

Microwave (MW) assisted synthesis and solid state structural characterizations of novel lithocholyl amides of 2-, 3-, and 4-aminopyridine are reported. It is shown that the MW technique is a proper method in the preparation of N-lithocholyl amides of isomeric aminopyridines. It offers many advantages compared to conventional heating. The molecular and crystal structures as well as the polymorphic and hydrated forms of prepared conjugates with their thermodynamic stabilities have been characterized by means of high resolution liquid- and solid-state NMR spectroscopy, single crystal and powder X-ray diffraction, and thermogravimetric analysis. Owing to the many biological functions of bile ac…

Deoxycholic Acid Methyl Ester — a Novel Bacterial Metabolite of Cholic Acid

1985

Summary Methyl deoxycholate was identified as a novel bacterial metabolite of cholate, produced anaerobically by strains of most saccharolytic Bacteroides species ( B. distasonis, B. eggerthii, B. fragilis, B. incommunis, B. thetaiotaomicron, B. uniformis, B. variabilis, B. vulgatus , and unnamed species). It was also detected with a few strains of Eubacterium and Lactobacillus species. Among 2476 freshly isolated human fecal cultures the frequency of carboxyl group esterification was comparable with that of 7α-dehydroxylation (92 versus 102 cultures). Both activities were, however, lost for unknown reasons after serial transfers. Two of ten mixed fecal cultures tested esterified 3α,7α- or …

Epimerization, oxidation and reduction of bile acids by Eubacterium lentum

1984

Summary Twenty-eight strains of Eubacterium lentum were divided into five groups on the basis of their ability to metabolize cholic acid and dehydrocholic acid: (I) Strains with 3α- and 3/β-dehydrogenating activities (1 strain), (II) strains with 12α-dehydrogenating activity (5 strains), (III) strains with 3α-, 3β-, 7α-, and 12α-dehydrogenating activities (8 isolates), (IV) transition stages between group II and III (1 strain), (V) strains devoid of any measurable bile acid metabolizing activities or with only trace activities (11 isolates). Using appropriate bile acids it was demonstrated that hydroxyl or keto groups at positions C 3 , C 7 , and C 12 did not influence bile acid transformat…

Determination of cationic surfactants by capillary zone electrophoresis and micellar electrokinetic chromatography with deoxycholate micelles in the …

2000

Mixtures of the cationic surfactants benzalkonium chloride (BKC) and cetylpyridinium chloride (CPC) were quickly resolved and reproducibly and reliably determined by using background electrolytes (BGEs) containing 80 mM borate, pH 8.5, bile salts and large concentrations of an organic solvent. When the bile salt is present, the separation mechanism changes from capillary zone electrophoresis (CZE) to a mixed micellar electrokinetic chromatography (MEKC)-CZE, with predominant MEKC interactions, which lead to an excellent resolution of all the solutes, including the C12-C18 homologues of BKC and CPC. A BGE containing 50 mM sodium deoxycholate and 30% ethanol for an extreme resolution, or 20% …
