An efficient and convenient procedure for the hydrolysis of bile acid methyl esters is described. This is achieved by the addition of aqueous lithium hydroxide in methanol/dioxane (or tetrahydrofuran) at room temperature. Under these conditions, the formates as well as the acetate derivatives were also hydrolyzed, and the desired bile acids were isolated in 86 to 94% yield.

Introduction: Deglycosylated azithromycin (Deg-AZM), a new transgelin agonist with positive therapeutic effects on slow transit constipation, has been approved for clinical trials in 2024. This work investigated the drug metabolism and transport of Deg-AZM to provide research data for further development of Deg-AZM.
Methods: A combination of UPLC-QTOF-MS was used to obtain metabolite spectra of Deg-AZM in plasma, urine, feces and bile.

Understanding lipid digestion is crucial for promoting human health. Traditional methods for studying lipolysis face challenges in sample representativeness and pre-treatment, and cannot measure real-time lipolysis in vivo. Thus, non-invasive techniques like magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) need to be developed.

Research has shown various hydrolyzed proteins possessed beneficial physiological functions; however, the mechanism of how hydrolysates influence metabolism is unclear. Therefore, the current study aimed to examine the effects of different sources of protein hydrolysates, being the main dietary protein source in extruded diets, on metabolism in healthy adult dogs. Three complete and balanced extruded canine diets were formulated: control chicken meal diet (CONd), chicken liver and heart hydrolysate diet (CLHd), mechanically separated chicken hydrolysate diet (CHd).

Chicken bile is a by-product of chicken processing, rich in chenodeoxycholic acid (CDCA), an active pharmaceutical raw material. In this study, a green measure for the extraction and purification of CDCA from chicken biles by enzymatic hydrolysis and macroporous resins refining was established. For the assisted extraction of CDCA, the active bile salt hydrolase (BSH) from Bifidobacterium was heterologously expressed and applied, its activities on GCDCA and TCDCA were 4.
