Limited sample stability of chenodeoxycholic acid in pharmaceutical quality control.

European journal of hospital pharmacy : science and practice2026 Mar 23

The Amsterdam UMC makes chenodeoxycholic acid (CDCA) capsules to treat their patients with the rare metabolic disease cerebrotendinous xanthomatosis. During routine quality control analysis of the CDCA active pharmaceutical ingredient according to the European Pharmacopoeia (PhEur), an unknown impurity was found in the test results for related substances. After re-analysis using a fresh sample solution, the impurity was not detected, and it was hypothesised that the impurity was caused by sample instability. Sample stability was investigated using the PhEur high pressure liquid chromatography with refractive index detection (HPLC-RI) test for related substances on different CDCA sample solutions (dissolved in methanol R) stored for 0, 1, 3 and 7 days at 5°C and 25°C. An unknown impurity appeared when stored for 1 day and its concentration increased over time and at a higher temperature, conforming sample instability. It is recommended to perform the test on related substances of CDCA with a fresh sample solution.

Plasma sterol profiling in autism spectrum disorder: insights from cerebrotendinous xanthomatosis screening and beyond.

Metabolic brain disease2026 Mar 18

Cerebrotendinous xanthomatosis (CTX) is a rare, treatable bile acid synthesis disorder characterized by increased levels of cholestanol. Studies indicate that autism spectrum disorder (ASD) may be an early manifestation of CTX. Independent of CTX, disturbances in sterol and bile acid metabolism are observed in ASD. Therefore, this study aimed to estimate the prevalence of CTX in a pediatric ASD cohort using cholestanol-based screening with reflex CYP27A1 sequencing and to compare plasma sterol profiles among children with ASD. We conducted a single-center, cross-sectional study including 103 patients with ASD and 70 age-matched, normally developed children. Fasting plasma cholestanol, campesterol, stigmasterol and sitosterol were quantified by gas chromatography/mass spectrometry. Participants with cholestanol ≥ 7 µg/ml underwent CYP27A1 sequencing, and five-day dietary recalls were analyzed in 75 ASD participants. Elevated cholestanol was observed in 27 of 103 patients with ASD (26.2%) but in none of the controls (p < 0.001). No participant had biallelic pathogenic CYP27A1 variants; one heterozygous variant of uncertain significance was detected. Median concentrations of cholestanol, campesterol, sitosterol and stigmasterol were significantly higher in patients with ASD than in controls (all p ≤ 0.001), and sterol fractions were strongly correlated (cholestanol–campesterol r = 0.74, p < 0.001). In summary, no cases of CTX were identified in this cohort, suggesting that cholestanol-based screening in unselected ASD populations may have limited yield, particularly in the absence of additional clinical features suggestive of CTX. Nevertheless, the elevated plasma sterol levels in ASD patients suggest dysregulated sterol and bile acid homeostasis, warranting further investigation.

Safety and Effectiveness of Pharmacy Compounded Chenodeoxycholic Acid Capsules for Patients With Cerebrotendinous Xanthomatosis.

Journal of inherited metabolic disease2026 Mar

Chenodeoxycholic acid (CDCA) is an essential drug for patients with rare metabolic disease cerebrotendinous xanthomatosis (CTX). To ensure continuation of treatment, the Amsterdam UMC hospital pharmacy developed pharmacy compounded CDCA capsules when the authorized CDCA capsules were no longer available for Dutch patients. This study reports the safety of pharmacy compounded CDCA through pharmacovigilance monitoring and assesses its effectiveness by evaluating biochemical outcome measures, both in patients who were previously treated with authorized CDCA and subsequently switched to the compounded formulation and in new patients. Data were generated during routine patient care and collected retrospectively. Adverse events were reported by 45% of the patients; the most reported adverse events were diarrhea (16%), constipation (7%), and fatigue (7%). Biochemically, plasma cholestanol levels and urinary bile alcohol levels remained normalized before and after switching from the authorized product to pharmacy compounded capsules. It can be concluded that the pharmacy compounded CDCA capsules are well tolerated by patients with CTX and that the desired biochemical effect was maintained, supporting the use of a compounded formulation when the authorized product is unavailable.

Beyond bile acids synthesis: metabolomics profiling highlights extensive metabolic dysregulation and treatment response in CTX.

Orphanet journal of rare diseases2026 Jan 30

Cerebrotendinous xanthomatosis (CTX) is an inherited metabolic disorder caused by variants in CYP27A1 leading to loss of sterol-27-hydroxylase activity. Sterol-27-hydroxylase generates two classes of bioactive signaling molecules: bile acids and oxysterols. The broader metabolic consequences resulting from perturbations in bile acid and oxysterol signaling and their reversibility with FDA-approved treatment chenodeoxycholic acid (CDCA), are not fully described. To establish a comprehensive map of metabolic consequences of CTX, we performed large-scale, untargeted plasma metabolomics in a single subject with CTX, both before and after 6 months of CDCA therapy, and compared results with a reference cohort of over 1100 individuals. Data were analyzed for significant metabolite changes and pathway alterations. Untreated CTX exhibited marked depletion of bile acid intermediates and elevations in sterol precursors, consistent with the known enzymatic block in this pathway. Metabolomics highlighted additional pathways affected by bile acid and oxysterol signaling such as fatty acid metabolism, NAD+ de novo synthesis, phosphatidylethanolamines, sphingolipids and ferroptosis. Following six months of CDCA therapy, sterol precursors normalized, bile acid intermediates partially recovered, and phosphatidylethanolamines were restored toward reference ranges, while steroid and phosphatidylcholine metabolites remained largely unchanged. This study exposes the comprehensive nature of metabolic disturbance in CTX beyond the bile acids pathway, revealing perturbations in bile acids, steroids, fatty acids, phospholipids and NAD+ synthesis and highlights the dynamic early response to CDCA therapy. The metabolomic profile of untreated CTX can be leveraged for diagnostic screening. These findings report new candidate biomarkers for diagnosis and monitoring and underscore the potential of metabolomics to uncover broader metabolic consequences in rare disease.

Myoclonus in Pediatric Metabolic Diseases: Clinical Spectrum, Mechanisms, and Treatable Causes-A Systematic Review.

Metabolites2026 Jan 28

Background: Myoclonus, a sudden brief shock-like involuntary movement, represents a common yet under-recognized manifestation across many inherited metabolic disorders. Although its occurrence has been reported in case series and small cohorts, the overall spectrum, pathophysiological mechanisms, and therapeutic relevance of metabolic myoclonus have not been systematically summarized. Methods: A systematic search of PubMed was conducted for English-language publications from 2014 to 2025 using predefined MeSH terms related to myoclonus, movement disorders, and inborn errors of metabolism. Titles and abstracts were screened independently by three reviewers. After removal of duplicates, 27 articles were included, complemented by 65 additional references addressing individual disorders. Data were organized according to the International Classification of Inherited Metabolic Disorders (ICIMD). Results: Myoclonus was documented across six ICIMD categories, including intermediary metabolism, mitochondrial energy metabolism, lipid metabolism, disorders of complex molecules and organelles, cofactor and mineral metabolism, and metabolic cell signaling disorders. Clinical presentation ranged from isolated jerks to progressive myoclonic epilepsies. Several conditions-such as GLUT1 deficiency, cerebrotendinous xanthomatosis, and folate receptor α deficiency-are treatable through dietary or pharmacological interventions. Conclusions: Recognition of myoclonus as a presenting feature of inherited errors of metabolism (IEMs) is critical for timely diagnosis and treatment. Metabolic screening should be considered in all unexplained cases of myoclonus, particularly when accompanied by developmental delay or systemic abnormalities.
