Bioactivity

• In Vitro:
  Obeticholic acid is conjugated with taurine in the liver to form Tauro-obeticholic acid, which is secreted into bile. Microorganisms in the ileum and colon can deconjugate Tauro-obeticholic acid, converting it into the parent drug, which may then be reabsorbed or excreted in faeces.
