Taurochenodeoxycholic acid

Identification

Generic Name
Taurochenodeoxycholic acid
DrugBank Accession Number
DB08833
Background

Taurochenodeoxycholic 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.

Mechanism of action

Chenodeoxycholic acid is a primary bile acid in the liver that combines with taurine to form the bile acid taurochenodeoxycholic acid. In the bile, taurochenodeoxycholic acid is either a sodium (most) or potassium salt. Taurochenodeoxycholic acid is normally produced in the liver, and its physiologic function as a bile salt 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. The mechanism of action of taurochenodeoxycholic acid in inflammation and cancer has yet to be determined.
