Chenodeoxycholic Acid, Free Acid and its 7beta-isomer ursodeoxycholic acid (sc-204935), are potent (nanomolar affinity) selective inhibitors of DD2 (AKR1C2). These compounds were non-competitive inhibitors of AKR1D1 yielding Ki values of 3.2 muM for chenodeoxycholic acid, free acid. This chemical is a hydrophobic primary bile acid, which increases intracellular Ca2+ in rat hepatocyte couplets. Studies indicate that Chenodeoxycholic Acid, free acid induces apoptosis through a PKC dependent pathway. It is known that Chenodeoxycholic Acid, free acid is essential in the metabolism of cholesterol via activation of nuclear receptors. This bile acid can also bind to BABP with a stoichiometery of 1:2. Alternate studies indicate that chenodeoxycholic acid, free acid can inhibit the expression of IL-6 and cell viability in QBC939 cells.
