Tương tác
Decreased absorption with bile acid sequestrants (e.g. cholestyramine, colestipol) and aluminium-containing antacids. Increased biliary cholesterol secretion and reduced efficacy with fibric acid derivatives (e.g. clofibrate) and oestrogen derivatives. May increase the anticoagulant effect of vitamin K antagonists (e.g. warfarin).
Tác dụng
Description: Mechanism of Action: Chenodeoxycholic acid is a naturally occurring human bile acid. It suppresses the hepatic synthesis of both cholesterol and cholic acid, resulting in biliary cholesterol desaturation and gradual dissolution of radiolucent cholesterol gallstones. It does not exhibit any effect on radiopaque gallstones or radiolucent bile pigment stones.
Synonym: chenodiol. Pharmacokinetics: Absorption: Absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract. Distribution: Volume of distribution: Approx 1,600 L. Metabolism: Metabolised in the liver to taurine and glycine conjugates and secreted in bile; undergoes extensive first-pass metabolism and enterohepatic recycling. Further metabolised in colon by intestinal bacteria to lithocholic acid. Excretion: Via faeces (approx 80%, as lithocholate). Elimination half-life: Approx 45 hours.
