Description

Chenodeoxycholic acid is an endogenous bile acid synthesized by the liver; it acts as an agonist at the farnesoid X receptor (FXR). Chenodeoxycholic acid exhibits anticancer and gastrointestinal motility modulating activities. This compound treats chronic constipation and displays protective benefit against NSAID-induced gastrointestinal injury. Chenodeoxycholic acid also induces apoptosis, decreases PKC activity, and inhibits growth of ovarian cancer cells.
