Description:Ursodeoxycholic acid is a secondary bile acid, which is derived from the metabolism of primary bile acids by intestinal bacteria. It modifies the composition of bile and reduces the absorption of cholesterol in the gastrointestinal tract by decreasing the cholesterol saturation of bile. This leads to a solubilization of cholesterol gallstones, making it an essential therapeutic agent in the management of cholesterol gallstone disease.
In clinical applications, Ursodeoxycholic acid is primarily used to treat cholestatic liver diseases, such as primary biliary cholangitis. It works by decreasing the cytotoxicity of bile acids and promoting bile flow. Additionally, it can improve liver enzyme levels and reduce the progression of liver fibrosis. Its hydrophilic nature and protective action on hepatocytes make it a key therapeutic option for certain hepatobiliary disorders. As a well-studied compound, its mechanistic effects are backed by both clinical and biochemical research, offering insights into its potential applications beyond conventional treatments.
