Beschreibung

Murideoxycholic acid is a bile acid that is used in combination with other antibiotics to treat infections caused by bacteria. Murideoxycholic acid inhibits the bacterial transport of bile acids, which are important for the digestion of fats and proteins. Murideoxycholic acid binds to the cytochrome P450 enzyme in humans and rats, inhibiting its activity. This binding prevents the production of bile acids from cholesterol in the liver, which prevents their normal excretion into the intestine and leads to an increased risk for gallstones. Murideoxycholic acid also has been shown to inhibit human CYP3A4 enzyme activity. The hydroxyl group on this molecule reacts with ferrous ions to produce hydroxyl radicals, which can lead to oxidative stress and lipid peroxidation.
