Bioactivity | Deoxycholic acid (cholanoic acid), a bile acid, is a by-product of intestinal metabolism, that activates the G protein-coupled bile acid receptorTGR5[1][2]. | ||||||||||||
Invitro | Deoxycholic acid (DCA) (100 μM) induces the production of gastric cancer cell line MGC803 resistant to acidified bile acids and enhances their survival and proliferation activity under bile acid stress[2].Deoxycholic acid (DCA) (100 μM)-induced resistant cells shows altered morphology, significantly elevated telomerase activity, better cell viability and reduces apoptosis compared to normal MGC803 cells[2]. | ||||||||||||
