Bile Acids Library

Catalog No. L2502

Bile acids are steroid compounds synthesized by the liver, characterized by a unique amphipathic structure with both hydrophilic and hydrophobic properties. As core components of bile and key signaling molecules, they play an indispensable role in the human body. Not only are they natural biological emulsifiers essential for fat digestion and the absorption of fat-soluble vitamins, but they also precisely regulate glucose/lipid metabolism, energy homeostasis, and intestinal microbiota balance by activating receptors such as FXR and TGR5, while also promoting the excretion of cholesterol and toxins. Owing to their broad physiological and pathophysiological functions, bile acids exhibit tremendous application potential in various fields, including pharmaceutical development (e.g., ursodeoxycholic acid for treating cholestatic diseases, obeticholic acid for NASH, and novel targeted delivery systems), disease mechanism research (e.g., metabolic diseases, intestinal inflammation, and tumors), diagnostic biomarkers (for evaluating hepatobiliary diseases), industrial biotechnology, and the construction of in vitro models (such as organoid cultures).

The TargetMol Bile Acids Compound Library carefully curates an undefined number of natural primary and secondary bile acids, which are widely used in research areas such as bile acid-related metabolic regulation, signaling pathway studies, disease mechanism elucidation, drug screening and development, as well as biotechnological applications.
