cholesterol excretion

Cholic Acid (Cholate) is a major primary bile acid produced in the liver and usually conjugated with glycine or taurine. Cholic acid facilitates fat absorption and cholesterol excretion.

Cholic acid sodium (SodiumCholate) exhibits a strong spermicidal and antiviral [anti-human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-1] activity.

Cholic acid sodium hydrate is a natural and orally active bile acid that is synthesized primarily by the liver and secreted into the bile, where it plays an important role in the digestive process, aiding in the absorption of fats by emulsifying them, as well as participating in the excretion of cholesterol and regulating the metabolism of bile acids.

1. Coptisine (Coptisin) treatment increases cell viability based on its reversal effect on the enhanced activity of Indoleamine 2, 3-dioxygenase . 2. Coptisine treats myocardial I R likely through suppressing myocardial apoptosis and inflammation by inhibiting the Rho ROCK pathway. 3. Coptisine is a potential anti-osteosarcoma drug candidate, via exerting a strong anti-osteosarcoma effect with very low toxicity . 4. Coptisine with a high dosage could inhibit cholesterol synthesis via suppressing the HMGCR expression and promoting the use and excretion of cholesterol via up-regulating LDLR and CYP7A1 expression. 5. Coptisine suppresses adhesion, migration and invasion of MDA-MB-231 breast cancer cells in vitro, the down-regulation of MMP-9 in combination with the increase of TIMP-1 possibly contributing to the anti-metastatic function for breast cancer.
