Bioactivity

• In Vitro:
  Obeticholic acid and taurine are conjugated in the liver to form taurine-obeticholic acid, which is secreted into the bile. Microorganisms in the ileum and colon can dissociate taurine-cholesteric acid and convert it into the parent drug, which can then be reabsorbed or excreted in feces.
