, (2019/02/15)
The present disclosure provides methods of preparing cholic acid, deoxycholic acid, or chenodeoxycholic acid, an ester thereof, or a pharmaceutically or cosmetically acceptable salt thereof, and novel and useful synthetic intermediates, for example, as described for methods 1, 1A, 1B, 2, 3, 3A, and 4. The method can start with a plant derived steroid as a starting material, such as dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) or Acetyl-dehydroepiandrosterone (Ac-DHEA). Also provided are pharmaceutical or cosmetic compositions and uses thereof, which comprise one or more of cholic acid, deoxycholic acid, or chenodeoxycholic acid, an ester thereof, or a pharmaceutically or cosmetically acceptable salt thereof, which is of high purity, for example, free of animal derived impurities.

A series of cholic acid derivatives was synthesized by enzyme catalysis. Eleven acetyl and ester derivatives of cholic acid, eight of them new compounds, were obtained through regioselective lipase-catalyzed reactions in very good to excellent yield. The influence of various reaction parameters in the enzymatic esterification, acetylation and alcoholysis reactions, such as enzyme source, alcohol or acylating agent: substrate ratio, enzyme: substrate ratio, solvent and temperature, was studied. Moreover, in order to shed light to cholic acid behavior in the enzymatic reactions, molecular docking of the lipase with cholic acid and some derivatives was carried out.

Dehydrocholic acid (DHCA), an unnatural bile acid, is manufactured by oxidation of cholic acid. Its biotransformation by two basidiomycetes (Trametes hirsuta and Collybia velutipes) is reported. These mycelia showed different affinities for the substrate and selectivities of attack: T. hirsuta in particular regio- and stereoselectively reduced the 3-keto group to yield 3α-hydroxy-7,12-diketo-5β-cholan-24-oic acid (7,12-diketolithocolic acid) as the main product. A number of different chemical reductions were carried out on DHCA; among them hydrogenation with Raney Nickel in water under high-intensity ultrasound proved highly regio- and stereoselective, yielding 7,12-diketolithocolic acid exclusively. 1H and 13C resonances were assigned in details thanks to a series of 1D and 2D NMR runs including DEPT, NOESY, H-H COSY, gHSQC and gHMBC.
