Additional information

Description

Tauro-obeticholic acid, an active metabolite of obeticholic acid, functions as an agonist of the farnesoid X receptor (FXR) and is derived from chenodeoxycholic acid through semisynthesis [1]. It undergoes formation via taurine conjugation in the liver and can revert to obeticholic acid through enzymatic action by intestinal microflora.
