NameTaurochenodeoxycholic acid
Groups experimental
DescriptionTaurochenodeoxycholic acid is an experimental drug that is normally produced in the liver. Its physiologic function is to emulsify lipids such as cholesterol in the bile. As a medication, taurochenodeoxycholic acid reduces cholesterol formation in the liver, and is likely used as a choleretic to increase the volume of bile secretion from the liver and as a cholagogue to increase bile discharge into the duodenum. It is also being investigated for its role in inflammation and cancer therapy.
Synonyms
  • Chenodeoxycholoyltaurine
  • Taurochenodeoxycholic acid
  • Taurochenodeoxycholate
  • Taurine chenodeoxycholate
IndicationTaurochenodeoxycholic acid is likely indicated as a choleretic and cholagogue. It is also being investigated for its role in inflammation and cancer therapy.
