Physical and chemical properties Ursodeoxycholic acid, the main component is dihydroxycholestanoic acid, which is an organic compound, odorless and bitter in taste. This product is soluble in ethanol, insoluble in chloroform, soluble in glacial acetic acid, and soluble in sodium hydroxide test solution. It is used medically to increase bile acid secretion, change bile composition, reduce cholesterol and cholesterol lipids in bile, and help the cholesterol in gallstones gradually dissolve.
Uses Ursodeoxycholic acid can increase bile acid secretion, change bile composition, reduce cholesterol and cholesterol lipids in bile, and facilitate the gradual dissolution of cholesterol in gallstones. It is used for cholesterol stones that are not suitable for surgical treatment, but It cannot dissolve bile pigment stones, mixed stones and opaque stones. For cholecystitis. Cholangitis and indigestion also have certain effects.
Usodeoxycholic acid can promote the secretion of endogenous bile acids, reduce reabsorption, antagonize the cytotoxic effect of hydrophobic bile acids, protect liver cell membranes, dissolve cholesterol stones, and have immunomodulatory effects. Ursodeoxycholic acid can also Increase the absorption of cyclosporine in the intestine
