A bile acid formed by bacterial action from cholate. It is usually conjugated with glycine or taurine. Deoxycholic acid acts as a detergent to solubilize fats for intestinal absorption, is reabsorbed itself, and is used as a choleretic and detergent.
Deoxycholic acid is a Cytolytic Agent. The physiologic effect of deoxycholic acid is by means of Decreased Cell Membrane Integrity.

4 Drug and Medication Information
4.1 Therapeutic Uses

Cholagogues and Choleretics; Detergents

National Library of Medicine's Medical Subject Headings online file (MeSH, 1999)


The useful effects of exogenous bile acids result from their capacity to decrease the cholesterol content of the bile and promote dissolution of cholesterol gallstones. /Bile acids/

4.2 Drug Indication

For improvement in appearance of moderate to severe fullness associated with submental fat in adults.

5 Pharmacology and Biochemistry
5.1 MeSH Pharmacological Classification

Cholagogues and Choleretics

Gastrointestinal agents that stimulate the flow of bile into the duodenum (cholagogues) or stimulate the production of bile by the liver (choleretic). (See all compounds classified as Cholagogues and Choleretics.)

5.4 Absorption, Distribution and Excretion

Absorption

Deoxycholic acid is rapidly absorbed after subcutaneous administration. After maximum recommended single treatment dose, 100mg, the post-treatment plasma levels returned to endogenous levels within 24 hours. With the proposed treatment guideline, no accumulation is expected.


Route of Elimination

The exogenous deoxycholic acid joins the endogenous bile acid pool in the enterohepatic circulation and is excreted unchanged in feces along with endogenous deoxycholic acid.


LIVER NORMALLY SECRETES APPROX 24 G OF BILE SALTS IN 700 TO 1000 ML OF BILE IN 24 HR. MOST OF BILE SALTS ARE REABSORBED IN LOWER SMALL INTESTINE & AGAIN BECOME AVAILABLE FOR SECRETION. ... POOL OF BILE SALTS IS APPROX 2 TO 5 G. /BILE SALTS/

Goodman, L.S., and A. Gilman. (eds.) The Pharmacological Basis of Therapeutics. 5th ed. New York: Macmillan Publishing Co., Inc., 1975., p. 971


5.5 Metabolism/Metabolites

Deoxycholic acid is not metabolized to any significant extent under normal conditions.


5.6 Mechanism of Action

As a bile acid, deoxycholic acid emulsifies fat in the gut. Synthetically derived deoxycholic acid, when injected, stimulates a targeted breakdown of adipose cells by disrupting the cell membrane and causing adipocytolysis. This results in an inflammatory reaction and clearing of the adipose tissue remnants by macrophages. Deoxycholic acid's actions are reduced by albumin and tissue-associated proteins, therefore its effect is limited to protein-poor subcutaneous fat tissue. Protein-rich tissues like muscle and skin are unaffected by deoxycholic acid, contributing to its safety profile.
