compound introduction
Tauro-Obeticholic acid is an active metabolite of Obeticholic acid. Obeticholic acid is an orally bioavailable farnesoid-X receptor (FXR) agonist. In Vitro Obeticholic acid is conjugated with taurine in the liver to form Tauro-obeticholic acid, which is secreted into bile. Microorganisms in the ileum and colon can deconjugate Tauro-obeticholic acid, converting it into the parent drug, which may then be reabsorbed or excreted in faeces. MCE has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only. Form:Solid
