Methyl cholate
Based on 1 Customer Validation
Methyl cholate is a bile acid analog and a specific inhibitor of TcdB toxin from Clostridioides difficile. Methyl cholate exerts a stronger selective inhibitory effect on TcdB than on TcdA. Methyl cholate induces conformational stabilization by binding to a unique site of TcdB, thereby blocking the binding of the toxin to host receptors and its self-processing process. Methyl cholate effectively protects human fibroblasts from TcdB-induced cytopathic effects. Methyl cholate exhibits dose-dependent anti-hepatic fibrosis activity in both cellular and zebrafish models, and significantly reduces the expression levels of α-SMA and COL-I. Methyl cholate is suitable for in-depth research in the fields of Clostridioides difficile infection and hepatic fibrosis.

Biological Activity
Methyl cholate (0.1-100 μM; 10 min pre-incubation, 3.5 hr combined exposure) dose-dependently protects human IMR-90 fibroblasts from TcdB-induced cell rounding with an IC50 of 11 μM, but does not protect against TcdA-induced cell rounding[1].
Methyl cholate (0.8-200 μM; 30 min pre-incubation, 3 hr reaction) dose-dependently inhibits IP6-induced autoprocessing of full-length Clostridium difficile TcdB, but does not affect autoprocessing of the isolated GTD-CPD truncated construct[1].
Methyl cholate (40 μM; 45 min pre-incubation with TcdB, 45 min incubation with cells) potently inhibits Clostridium difficile TcdB binding to Vero cells, reducing bound toxin to ~10% of vehicle control levels[1].
Methyl cholate (0.1-100 μM; 3 hr combined exposure) dose-dependently protects human IMR-90 fibroblasts from TcdB-induced necrosis with an IC50 of 4.3 μM[1].
Methyl cholate (80.64 μg/mL; 48 h) inhibits HSC-T6 hepatic stellate cell proliferation with an IC50 of 80.64 μg/mL after 48 h of incubation[2].
Methyl cholate (low to high dose range; duration sufficient to alter protein expression) dose-dependently reduces α-SMA protein expression, a marker of hepatic stellate cell activation, in HSC-T6 cells[2].
Methyl cholate (duration sufficient to alter protein expression) increases PIK3-α protein expression in HSC-T6 hepatic stellate cells[2].

Cell Line:Vero cells
-
Concentration:40 μM
-
Incubation Time:45 min pre-incubation with TcdB; 45 min incubation with cells
-
Result:Reduced TcdB binding to Vero cells to levels similar to the neutralizing monoclonal antibody bezlotoxumab, with only ~10% of TcdB remaining bound relative to vehicle controls.
-
Cell Line:HSC-T6 hepatic stellate cells
-
Concentration:80.64 μg/mL
-
Incubation Time:48 h
-
Result:Inhibited HSC-T6 cell proliferation in a dose-dependent manner, with a calculated half-maximal inhibitory concentration (IC50) of 80.64 μg/mL after 48 h of treatment.
