Description
(extracted from source data)
MOA Tauroursodeoxycholic acid is the more hydrophilic form of ursodeoxycholic acid, which is naturally produced in the body. In patients with properly functioning gallbladders, both of these bile acids inhibit liver cholesterol secretion and synthesis as well as intestinal cholesterol absorption allowing for the promotion of cholesterol gallstone dissolution. The mechanism of action of tauroursodeoxycholic acid in the other conditions is still being investigated.; ;
DESCRIPTION Tauroursodeoxycholic acid (TUDCA) is a conjugated bile acid derivative. Evidence suggests that it acts as a chemical chaperone and facilitates protein folding within the endoplasmic reticulum . (GtoPdb)
