• Beschreibung: Chenodeoxycholic acid, sodium salt is a bile acid that is derived from ursodeoxycholic acid. It has been used in the treatment of gallstones and primary biliary cirrhosis. Chenodeoxycholic acid, sodium salt inhibits the production of cholesterol by blocking the action of 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl coenzyme A reductase (HMGCR) enzyme, which is responsible for catalyzing the conversion of HMG-CoA to mevalonate. Chenodeoxycholic acid also inhibits the growth of tumor cells and has antiinflammatory properties due to its ability to inhibit prostaglandin synthesis. This drug may interact with drugs that are substrates for either chenodeoxycholic acid or cytochrome P450 enzymes.
