CAS 6042-32-6: taurolithocholic acid sodium
Description:Taurolithocholic acid sodium, with the CAS number 6042-32-6, is a bile acid derivative that plays a role in the digestion and absorption of fats in the intestine. It is a sodium salt of taurolithocholic acid, which is formed by the conjugation of lithocholic acid with taurine. This compound is characterized by its amphipathic nature, possessing both hydrophilic and hydrophobic properties, which allows it to interact effectively with lipids and facilitate their emulsification. Taurolithocholic acid sodium is typically found in the bile of certain mammals and is involved in the enterohepatic circulation. Its solubility in water is enhanced due to the presence of the sodium ion, making it more bioavailable. In addition to its digestive functions, it may also have implications in various physiological processes, including cholesterol metabolism and the regulation of gut microbiota. Research into its potential therapeutic applications continues, particularly in the context of liver diseases and metabolic disorders.
