Taurohyodeoxycholic acid-d₄ sodium 

Taurohyodeoxycholic acid-d4 (sodium) is a deuterated labeled Taurohyodeoxycholic acid (sodium)^[1]. Taurohyodeoxycholic acid (THDCA) sodium is the taurine-conjugated form of the secondary bile acid hyodeoxycholic acid. Taurohyodeoxycholic acid can also reduce the activity and expression of myeloperoxidase TNF-α and IL-6, as well as colonic damage in TNBS-induced ulcerative colitis mouse model.

Stable heavy isotopes of hydrogen, carbon, and other elements have been incorporated into drug molecules, largely as tracers for quantitation during the drug development process. Deuteration has gained attention because of its potential to affect the pharmacokinetic and metabolic profiles of drugs^[1].

Taurohyodeoxycholic acid reduces the size and weight of human gallstones in vitro. Taurohyodeoxycholic acid increases bile flow, bile cholesterol secretion and bile lipid secretion in rats. Co-administration of Taurohyodeoxycholic acid and Taurochenodeoxycholic acid prevented Taurohyodeoxycholic acid-induced hepatotoxicity and increased bile flow and bile acid and phospholipid secretion in rats.
