| Bioactivity | 24-norursodeoxycholic acid (Norucholic acid) is a side chain-shortened C23 homologue of UDCA and has shown potent anti-cholestatic, anti-inflammatory and anti-fibrotic properties. | ||||||||||||
| Invitro | 24-norursodeoxycholic acid (Norucholic acid) is a side chain-shortened C23 homologue of UDCA and is previously shown to be highly effective in preclinical mouse models of cholestatic and fibrotic liver diseases. 24-norursodeoxycholic acid significantly reduces serum alkaline phosphatase (ALP) levels in a dose-dependent fashion. 24-norursodeoxycholic acid also significantly reduces γ-GT, ALT, and AST serum levels[1]. | ||||||||||||
