Description:Ursocholic acid is a bile acid that is used in the treatment of pediatric bowel disease. Ursocholic acid reduces the formation of cholesterol gallstones and its use has been shown to improve the symptoms of congestive heart failure. The mechanism of action for ursocholic acid is not fully understood but it has been shown to increase the amount of serum bile acids and reduce the amount of hydroxyl group in bile acids. Ursocholic acid also increases cell lysis by interacting with hydrophobic regions on the surface of cells. There are high concentrations of ursocholic acid found in human feces, which may be due to its hydrophobic effect. Ursocholic acid also inhibits HIV infection by binding to gp120, preventing gp120 from binding to CD4 receptors on T-cells.
