Description
Ursocholic acid (Standard) is the analytical standard of Ursocholic acid. This product is intended for research and analytical applications. Ursocholic acid, a bile acid present in mammalian bile, is converted to deoxycholic acid (UDC) by the mouse intestinal flora. Ursocholic acid acts as a gallstone dissolving agent in the liver through anti-apoptosis, anti-inflammatory, immunomodulatory, bile regulation, and coordinated changes in mitochondrial integrity and cell signaling, Ursocholic acid also has favorable effects on bones in patients with chronic cholestasis[1][2][3][4][5].

Chemical Information

Ursocholic acid

Ursocholic acid is a bile acid that is 5beta-cholan-24-oic acid bearing three hydroxy substituents at positions 3alpha, 7beta and 12alpha. It has a role as an EC 1.1.1.159 (7alpha-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase) inhibitor and a human urinary metabolite. It is a C24-steroid, a trihydroxy-5beta-cholanic acid, a bile acid, a 7beta-hydroxy steroid, a 3alpha-hydroxy steroid and a 12alpha-hydroxy steroid. It is a conjugate acid of an ursocholate.
