Chenodeoxycholic Acid sodium salt

Description: Chenodeoxycholic Acid sodium salt (CDCA sodium salt) is a bile acid in humans that activates the nuclear receptor FXR, rescues axonal degeneration of induced pluripotent stem cell-derived neurons in patients with spastic paraplegia type 5 and cerebral xanthomatosis, and can be used to study pancreatic necrosis. Target: FXR. Smiles: [Na+].C[C@H](CCC([O-])=O)[C@H]1CC[C@H]2[C@@H]3[C@H](O)C[C@@H]4C[C@H](O)CC[C@]4(C)[C@H]3CC[C@]12C. References: Stauffer AT, et al.
