Description:

WARNING: This product is for research use only, not for human or veterinary use.

Glyco-obeticholic acid is an active metabolite of obeticholic acid, which is a farnesoid X receptor (FXR) agonist and semisynthetic derivative of chenodeoxycholic acid. Glyco-obeticholic acid is formed from obeticholic acid by glycine conjugation in the liver but can be reconverted back to obeticholic acid by microorganism-mediated deconjugation in the ileum and colon. It has been used as a precursor in the synthesis of bile acid analogs as agonists of the farnesoid X receptor (FXR) and TGR5.

Product Data
Biological target:
Obeticholic acid is a farnesoid X receptor (FXR) agonist.
In vitro activity:
OCA (glyco-obeticholic acid) treatment enhanced brown adipogenesis, as evidenced by the increase in Oil Red cell staining (Fig. 1B) and by the upregulation of the late adipogenic marker PPARγ2 (Fig. 1C). In addition, OCA treatment upregulated the mRNA expression levels of the BAT-specific genes Ucp1, ELOVL fatty acid elongase 3 and PRDM16 (Fig. 1C). Reference: Exp Ther Med. 2021 Sep;22(3):991. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34345273/
In vivo activity:
The effect of OCA (glyco-obeticholic acid) on kidney TNF-alpha and IL-6 levels was evaluated by ELISA. At the end of reperfusion, OCA administration caused a significant decrease in both TNF-alpha and IL-6 in the kidney cortex of OCA-treated I/R rats compared to I/R rats (Figure 4). Undetectable levels of TNF-alpha were found in the kidney medulla in all groups considered. Reference: Pharmaceuticals (Basel). 2022 Apr 24;15(5):524. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/35631351/
