Ursodiol (UDCA) is a secondary bile acid derived from the 7α/β isomerization of the primary bile acid chenodeoxycholic acid (CDCA) by microorganisms. Ursodiol can be used in the study of various liver diseases and gastrointestinal diseases. Ursodiol has cytoprotective, anti-apoptotic, membrane-stabilizing, antioxidant and immunomodulatory effects[1-3].
Ursodiol can inhibit the viability of HepG2 and BEL7402 cells with IC50 of 0.92 mmol/L and 0.86 mmol/L, respectively, but Ursodiol has no effect on the viability of normal hepatocytes L-02. After Ursodiol (1.0 mmol/L) treatment, the apoptosis rate of HepG2 and BEL7402 cells was significantly increased in a concentration-dependent manner, whereas the apoptosis rate of L-02 cells did not change significantly.Ursodiol inhibits Bcl-2 expression and promotes Bax expression [2].
Mice treated with low and high doses (50 and 450 mg/kg/day) of Ursodiol showed significant weight loss, whereas 150 mg/kg/day had no significant effect on mouse body weight. After 21 days of ursodiol treatment, the microbial community structure and bile acid pool in the ileum and cecum contents and feces of mice were significantly changed compared with those before treatment. Ursodeoxycholic acid (UDCA), Tauroursodeoxycholic acid (TUDCA), Glycoursodeoxycholic acid (GUDCA) and Lithocholic acid (LCA) levels were significantly elevated in the ileum of mice treated with Ursodiol 450 mg/kg[1]. Ursodiol treatment at 416 mg/kg reduces SARS-CoV-2 transmission in a Syrian golden hamster SARS-CoV-2 infection model[4].

Protocol
| Cell experiment [1]: | |
|
Cell lines |
Hepatoma cells BEL7402 and HepG2 and normal liver cells L-02 |
|
Preparation Method |
Hepatoma cells BEL7402 and HepG2 and normal liver cells L-02 were treated with Ursodiol at concentrations ranging from 0.05mmol/L to 1.0mmol/L, and the cell growth inhibition rate was detected by MTT method at 48 hours, 72 hours and 96 hours. |
|
Reaction Conditions |
0.05 mmol/L-1.0 mmol/L, 48,72 and 96 h |
|
Applications |
Ursodiol can inhibit the viability of HepG2 and BEL7402 cells. After 48 hours of Ursodiol treatment, the IC50 values of HepG2 and BEL7402 were 0.92 mmol/L and 0.86 mmol/L, respectively. |
| Animal experiment [2]: | |
|
Animal models |
C57BL/6J wildtype mice |
|
Preparation Method |
Five-week-old C57BL/6J WT mice (male and female) were treated with three different doses of Ursodiol (50, 150 and 450 mg/kg) for 21 days, and the mice were weighed daily during the experimental period. |
|
Dosage form |
50, 150 and 450 mg/kg/day, 21 days, i.g. |
|
Applications |
Compared with the control mice, the mice in the 50 and 450 mg/kg Ursodiol treatment groups continued to lose weight within one week of Ursodiol administration, and there was no significant difference in the body weight of the mice in the 150 mg/kg Ursodiol treatment group. |
