a-hyodeoxycholic acid

Hyodeoxycholic acid (NSC 60672) 是由肠道菌群在小肠中形成的次级胆汁酸，是TGR5(GPCR19)的激动剂， CHO 细胞中的EC50=31.6 µM。它已用于研究高胆固醇血症的治疗。

Hyodeoxycholic acid sodium salt is a natural secondary bile acid. It improves high-density lipoprotein function, reduces farnesoid X receptor antagonist bile acids, and induces strong cytotoxicity, apoptosis, and IL-8 synthesis.

Norhyodeoxycholic acid (NHDCA) is a synthetic bile acid and a derivative of hyodeoxycholic acid .1,2 NHDCA is an intermediate in the synthesis of 3β-sulfooxy-7β-hydroxy-24-nor-5-cholen-23-oic acid, which has been used as an internal standard for the quantification of δ5-bile acid conjugates that have been identified in patients with Niemann-Pick disease type C1.3 |1.
