General description

Sodium taurolithocholate is a bile salt with detergent qualities that give it the ability to solubilize insoluble lipids.

Application

Sodium taurolithocholate has been used in a study to assess factors controlling the gastrointestinal adsorption of petroleum hydrocarbon residues. It has also been used in a study to investigate the decrease in activity of Na+, K+-adenosinetriphosphatase (Na+, K+-ATPase) in rats where cholestasis had been induced.

Taurolithocholate (TLC) acutely inhibits the biliary excretion of multidrug-resistant associated protein 2 (Mrp2) substrates by inducing Mrp2 retrieval from the canalicular membrane, whereas cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP) increases plasma membrane (PM)-MRP2. The effect of TLC may be mediated via protein
