타우로소데옥시콜릭

Tauroursodeoxycholic acid is an off-White Solid. It is an ambiphilic bile acid. It is mainly found in black bear bile, which is the signature active ingredient in bear bile. It has antispasmodic, anticonvulsant, anti-inflammatory and gallstone dissolving effects.

개요Tauroursodeoxycholic acid (TUDCA) is a hydrophilic bile acid synthesized in hepatocytes by the conjugation of ursodeoxycholic acid (UDCA) with the amino acid taurine. UDCA, which is made by gut bacteria, is FDAapproved in the United States for the treatment of certain cholestatic liver diseases. Humans make TUDCA to some extent, but it is found in copious amounts in the bile of bears. TUDCA is a classic inhibitor of endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress. Reduces ER stress and adipose tissue inflammation in a mouse model of high fat diet-induced obesity. Blocks ER stress-induced NLRP3 inflammasome activation and hepatocyte death. Attenuates amyloid precursor protein processing and amyloid-β deposition in APP/PS1 mouse model.

용도Tauroursodeoxycholic acid (TUDCA) is a water-soluble bile salt naturally occurring in the body. When bile salts reach the intestines, they can be metabolized by bacteria into ursodeoxycholic acid (UDCA). TUDCA is formed when taurine binds to UDCA. TUDCA is used to treat cholestasis, a condition in which bile fails to flow from the liver to the duodenum. TUDCA, UDCA, and other soluble bile salts can counteract the toxicity of regular bile acids when the latter are backed up in the liver. TUDCA is also used to treat cholesterol gallstones, dissolving them to a size in which they may be passed.
