Description
Tauroursodeoxycholic Acid (TUDCA) Sodium is a hydrophilic bile salt derivative of ursodeoxycholic acid (UDCA), known for its role in bile acid metabolism and enzymatic regulatory pathways. It exhibits high aqueous solubility due to its sodium salt formulation, enhancing stability and bioavailability in research applications.
TUDCA undergoes hepatic conjugation and enterohepatic circulation, with metabolic clearance occurring primarily through biliary excretion and renal filtration. Its amphipathic structure facilitates interaction with bile acid transporters, making it a subject of interest in biochemical and metabolic studies.
