Ursodeoxycholate (UDCA) is widely used for the treatment of cholestatic liver disease. After oral administration, UDCA is absorbed, taken up efficiently by hepatocytes, and conjugated mainly with glycine to form glycoursodeoxycholate (GUDC) or partly with taurine to form tauroursodeoxycholate (TUDC)

Neuropharmacology, 62(7), 2398-2408 (2012-03-01)
Neuronal oxidative damage and cell death by unconjugated bilirubin (UCB) showed to be mediated by overstimulation of glutamate receptors and nitric oxide (NO) production, which was abrogated by the bile acid glycoursodeoxycholic acid (GUDCA). Microglia, a crucial mediator of CNS

Cholestasis is a clinical disorder defined as an impairment of bile flow, and that leads to toxic bile acid (BA) accumulation in hepatocytes. Here, we investigated the hepatoprotective effect of Yinchenhaotang (YCHT), a well-known formulae for the treatment of jaundice

The relationship between chemical structure and the concentration at which self-association occurs in water or in 0.15 M Na+ ion was examined for more than 50 bile salts and bile salt analogues varying in substituents on the steroid nucleus or

A new enteric-coated formulation of sodium ursodeoxycholate was prepared and administered to man. The barrier film disintegrates and releases the drug only at pH > or = 5.5. The sodium salt of glycoursodeoxycholate was also prepared and encapsulated like ursodeoxycholate.
