In vitro study | Obeticholic acid is conjugated with glycine in the liver to form glycol-obeticholic acid, which is secreted into bile. Microorganisms in the ileum and colon can deconjugate glyco-obeticholic acid, converting it into the parent drug, which may then be reabsorbed or excreted in faeces. |
biological activity | Glyco-obeticholic acid is the active metabolite of taurine. Obeticholic Acid is an oral bioavailable farnicoid X receptor (FXR) agonist. |
