In vitro study | 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. |
biological activity | Tauro-Obeticholic acid is an active metabolite of taurine. Objective Acid is an orally bioavailable farnesoid X receptor (FXR) agonist. |
