Ursodeoxycholic acid-13C is the 13C labeled Ursodeoxycholic acid. Ursodeoxycholic acid (Ursodeoxycholate) is a secondary bile acid issued from the transformation of (cheno)deoxycholic acid by intestinal bacteria, acting as a key regulator of the intestinal barrier integrity and essential for lipid metabolism. Ursodeoxycholic acid acts as signaling molecule, exerting its effects by interacting with bile acid activated receptors, including G-protein coupled bile acid receptor 5 (TGR5, GPCR19) and the farnesoid X receptor (FXR). Ursodeoxycholic acid can be used for the research of a variety of hepatic and gastrointestinal diseases. Orally active.
ZY12201 is a potent, selective, orally bioavailable TGR5 agonist with hTGR5 EC50 of 57 pM and mTGR EC50 of 62 pM.ZY12201 displays a favorable pharmacokinetic properties and demonstrated in-vivo glucose lowering effects in animal models (ED50 of 7.9 mg/kg and ED90 of 29.2 mg/kg).
Cholic acid 7-sulfate (7-Sulfocholic acid), a metabolite of Cholic acid, is a Takeda G-protein receptor 5 (TGR5) agonist. Cholic acid 7-sulfate can increase Tgr5 expression and induce GLP-1 secretion.
Deoxycholic acid-13C (Cholanoic acid-13C) is the 13C-labeled Deoxycholic acid. Deoxycholic acid is specifically responsible for activating the G protein-coupled bile acid receptor TGR5 that stimulates brown adipose tissue (BAT) thermogenic activity.
