Available from, as of June 2, 2015: https://www.ema.europa.eu/docs/en_GB/document_library/EPAR_-_Public_assessment_report/human/001250/WC500131542.pdf
Orally administered cholic acid is subject to the same metabolic pathway as endogenous cholic acid. Cholic acid is absorbed by passive diffusion along the length of the gastrointestinal tract. Once absorbed, cholic acid enters into the body's bile acid pool and undergoes enterohepatic circulation mainly in conjugated forms. In the liver, cholic acid is conjugated with glycine or taurine by bile acid-CoA synthetase and bile acid-CoA: amino acid N-acetyltransferase. Conjugated cholic acid is actively secreted into bile mainly by the Bile Salt Efflux Pump (BSEP), and then released into the small intestine, along with other components of bile. Conjugated cholic acid is mostly re-absorbed in the ileum mainly by the apical-sodium-dependent-bile acid transporter, passed back to the liver by transporters including sodium-taurocholate cotransporting polypeptide and organic anion transport protein and enters another cycle of enterohepatic circulation. Any conjugated cholic acid not absorbed in the ileum passes into the colon where deconjugation and 7-dehydroxylation are mediated by bacteria to form cholic acid and deoxycholic acid which may be re-absorbed in the colon or excreted in the feces. The loss of cholic acid is compensated by de-novo synthesis of cholic acids from cholesterol to maintain the bile acid pool in healthy subjects.

Excretion studies in rat showed that cholic acid (CA) is almost exclusively excreted in the feces in the form of metabolite. Only minor amounts of CA were found in the unconjugated form in rat feces. Urinary excretion of bile acids is minimal and in mice fed a 1% CA diet, the excretion of bile acids was 2000-fold higher in feces than in urine

The mechanism and sequence of side chain hydroxylation of cholesterol in bile acid synthesis was studied in the isolated perfused rabbit liver. A comparison was made between the importance of 26- and 25-hydroxylation in cholic acid biosynthesis in the rabbit. The formation of [G-(3)H]cholic acid was observed when the liver was perfused with 5beta-[G-(3)H]cholestane-3alpha, 7alpha-diol, 5beta-[G-(3)H]cholestane-3alpha, 7alpha-12alpha-triol, and 5beta-[G-(3)H]cholestane-3alpha, 7alpha, 26-triol. No [G-(3)H]chenodeoxycholic acid was detected in the bile. These findings indicate that potential precursors of chenodeoxycholic acid were hydroxylated at position 12alpha either subsequent to or before hydroxylation of the cholesterol side chain. In addition, no other intermediates (tetrahydroxy or pentahydroxy bile alcohols) were found in the bile when these compounds were perfused in the liver. Bile acid precursors were detected in bile when the rabbit liver was perfused with 5beta-[24-(14)C]cholestane-3alpha, 7alpha, 25-triol. The 5beta-[24-(14)C]cholestane-3alpha, 7alpha, 25-triol was hydroxylated in the liver at the 12alpha position to yield the corresponding 5beta-cholestane-3alpha, 7alpha, 12alpha, 25-tetrol. The tetrol was further metabolized to a series of pentols (5beta-cholestane-3alpha, 7alpha, 12alpha, 22, 25-pentol; 5beta-cholestane-3alpha, 7alpha, 12alpha, 23, 25-pentol; 5beta-cholestane-3alpha, 7alpha, 12alpha, 24, 25-pentol; and 5beta-cholestane-3alpha, 7alpha, 12alpha, 25, 26-pentol). The major bile acid obtained from the perfusion of the 5beta-cholestane-3alpha, 7alpha, 25-triol was cholic acid. The experiments indicated that in the rabbit liver 12alpha-hydroxylation can occur after hydroxylation of the cholesterol side chain at either C-25 (5 beta-cholestane-3alpha, 7alpha, 25-triol) or C-26 (5beta-cholestane-3alpha, 7alpha-26-triol). Apparently, the rabbit can form cholic acid via the classical 26-hydroxylation pathway as well as via 25-hydroxylated intermediates.

In classic cholic acid biosynthesis, a series of ring modifications of cholesterol precede side chain cleavage and yield 5beta-cholestane-3alpha, 7alpha, 12alpha-triol. Side chain reactions of the triol then proceed either by the mitochondrial 27-hydroxylation pathway or by the microsomal 25-hydroxylation pathway. We have developed specific and precise assay methods to measure the activities of key enzymes in both pathways, 5beta-cholestane-3alpha, 7alpha, 12alpha-triol 25- and 27-hydroxylases and 5beta-cholestane-3alpha, 7alpha, 12alpha, 25-tetrol 23R-, 24R-, 24S- and 27-hydroxylases. The extracts from either the mitochondrial or microsomal incubation mixtures were purified by means of a disposable silica cartridge column, derivatized into trimethylsilyl ethers, and quantified by gas chromatography;-mass spectrometry with selected-ion monitoring in a high resolution mode. Compared with the addition of substrates in acetone, those in 2-hydroxypropyl-beta-cyclodextrin increased mitochondrial triol 27-hydroxylase activity 132% but decreased activities of the enzymes in microsomal 25-hydroxylation pathway (triol 25-hydroxylase and 5beta-cholestane-3alpha, 7alpha, 12alpha, 25-tetrol 23R-, 24R-, 24S- and 27-hydroxylases) 13;-60% in human liver. The enzyme activities in both pathways were generally 2- to 4-times higher in mouse and rabbit livers compared with human liver. In all species, microsomal triol 25-hydroxylase activities were 4- to 11-times larger than mitochondrial triol 27-hydroxylase activities but the activities of tetrol 24S-hydroxylase were similar to triol 27-hydroxylase activities in our assay conditions. The regulation of both pathways in rabbit liver was studied after bile acid synthesis was perturbed. Cholesterol feeding up-regulated enzyme activities involved in both 25- (64;-142%) and 27- (77%) hydroxylation pathways, while bile drainage up-regulated only the enzymes in the 25-hydroxylation pathway (178;-371%). Using these new assays, we demonstrated that the 25- and 27-hydroxylation pathways for cholic acid biosynthesis are more active in mouse and rabbit than human livers and are separately regulated in rabbit liver.

Deoxycholic acid is the main metabolite of cholic acid. Patients with 3alpha-HSD deficiency and delta4-3-oxoR deficiency and subjects with a normal bile acid metabolism have shown that upon treatment with cholic acid, serum and bile predominantly contain cholic acid and deoxycholic acid, while chenodeoxycholic acid and its metabolites appear to be reduced. Under cholic acid treatment, patients are therefore exposed to higher than normal deoxycholic acid concentrations, although the exact quantifications of these concentrations have not been described. In single- and repeat-dose studies, deoxycholic acid showed lethal effects, gastrointestinal and hepatic toxicities at approximately half the doses needed for cholic acid to produce the same effects. It is therefore considered that deoxycholic acid is more toxic than cholic acid and may in fact be the causative agent of some of cholic acid's toxicity. Mutagenicity data from bacterial test for deoxycholic acid is ambiguous but deoxycholic acid was genotoxic in an in vitro micronucleus assay. Additionally, ... the genotoxic potential of BA (focusing on chenodeoxycholic acid and deoxycholic acid) on human colonocytes and colon tumor cells HT 29 by a comet assay /was investigated/. In both cell types a clear dose-dependent genotoxic effect induced by the two bile acids was observed, with deoxycholic acid being more genotoxic. Viability of cells appeared to be greater than 75%. Use of a nuclease III modified comet assay suggested that the DNA damage could be mediated by reactive oxygen species production but was somewhat protected by inclusion of anti-oxidants. Short term carcinogenicity studies suggest that deoxycholic acid like cholic acid has carcinogenicity promoting properties. In rat liver, deoxycholic acid (75-150 mg/kg) exerted promoting activity as evidenced by significantly increased values of alpha-glutamyl transpeptidase-positive (alpha-GT+) liver foci compared with the corresponding controls given the carcinogen, diethylnitrosamine (DEN) alone. Deoxycholic acid (20 mg/kg) enhanced the development and growth of azoxymethane (AOM)-induced aberrant crypt foci in rat colons. In a parallel study, deoxycholic acid in the absence of AOM did not significantly induce aberrant crypt foci. However, /a study/ concluded that deoxycholic acid may act not only as promoters but also initiators of the multistage process of carcinogenesis.

Bile acids (BAs) are known to regulate BA synthesis and transport by the farnesoid X receptor in the liver (FXR-SHP) and intestine (FXR-Fgf15). However, the relative importance of individual BAs in regulating these processes is not known. Therefore, mice were fed various doses of five individual BAs, including cholic acid (CA), chenodeoxycholic acid (CDCA), deoxoycholic acid (DCA), lithocholic acid (LCA), and ursodeoxycholic acid (UDCA) in their diets at various concentrations for one week to increase the concentration of one BA in the enterohepatic circulation. The mRNA of BA synthesis and transporting genes in liver and ileum were quantified. In the liver, the mRNA of SHP, which is the prototypical target gene of FXR, increased in mice fed all concentrations of BAs. In the ileum, the mRNA of the intestinal FXR target gene Fgf15 was increased at lower doses and to a higher extent by CA and DCA than by CDCA and LCA. Cyp7a1, the rate-limiting enzyme in BA synthesis, was decreased more by CA and DCA than CDCA and LCA. Cyp8b1, the enzyme that 12-hydroxylates BAs and is thus responsible for the synthesis of CA, was decreased much more by CA and DCA than CDCA and LCA. Surprisingly, neither a decrease in the conjugated BA uptake transporter (Ntcp) nor increase in BA efflux transporter (Bsep) was observed by FXR activation, but an increase in the cholesterol efflux transporter (Abcg5/Abcg8) was observed with FXR activation. Thus in conclusion, CA and DCA are more potent FXR activators than CDCA and LCA when fed to mice, and thus they are more effective in decreasing the expression of the rate limiting gene in BA synthesis Cyp7a1 and the 12-hydroxylation of BAs Cyp8b1, and are also more effective in increasing the expression of Abcg5/Abcg8, which is responsible for biliary cholesterol excretion. However, feeding BAs do not alter the mRNA or protein levels of Ntcp or Bsep, suggesting that the uptake or efflux of BAs is not regulated by FXR at physiological and pharmacological concentrations of BAs.

Cholic acid is a primary bile acid synthesized from cholesterol in the liver. In bile acid synthesis disorders due to single enzyme defects (SEDs) in the biosynthetic pathway, and in peroxisomal disorders (PDs) including Zellweger spectrum disorders, deficiency of primary bile acids leads to unregulated accumulation of intermediate bile acids and cholestasis. Bile acids facilitate fat digestion and absorption by forming mixed micelles, and facilitate absorption of fat-soluble vitamins in the intestine. Endogenous bile acids including cholic acid enhance bile flow and provide the physiologic feedback inhibition of bile acid synthesis. The mechanism of action of cholic acid has not been fully established; however, it is known that cholic acid and its conjugates are endogenous ligands of the nuclear receptor, farnesoid X receptor (FXR). FXR regulates enzymes and transporters that are involved in bile acid synthesis and in the enterohepatic circulation to maintain bile acid homeostasis under normal physiologic conditions.

A Colalin CEP of the European Pharmacopoeia monograph is often referred to as a Colalin Certificate of Suitability (COS). The purpose of a Colalin CEP is to show that the European Pharmacopoeia monograph adequately controls the purity of Colalin EP produced by a given manufacturer. Suppliers of raw materials can prove the suitability of Colalin to their clients by showing that a Colalin CEP has been issued for it. The manufacturer submits a Colalin CEP (COS) as part of the market authorization procedure, and it takes on the role of a Colalin CEP holder for the record. Additionally, the data presented in the Colalin CEP (COS) is managed confidentially and offers a centralized system acknowledged by numerous nations, exactly like the Colalin DMF.
A Colalin CEP (COS) is recognised by all 36 nations that make up the European Pharmacopoeia Convention. Colalin CEPs may be accepted in nations that are not members of the Ph. Eur. at the discretion of the authorities there.
