Bioactivity | 6-Oxolithocholic acid is a bile acid metabolite derived from Lithocholic acid (HY-B0172). 6-Oxolithocholic acid has high cytotoxicity and can induce apoptosis, especially in hepatocytes. 6-Oxolithocholic acid can participate in the regulation of bile acid metabolism and synthesis and affect the metabolic pathway of cholesterol. 6-Oxolithocholic acid can be used to study the role of bile acids in health and disease, especially in the context of digestive and liver diseases[1]. |
