Methyl 3β-azido-3,7-dideoxycholate is an intermediate in synthesizing Aramchol (A765150), a fatty acid conjugate that exhibitshypocholesterolemic effects. Studies have shown that aramcholsuppresses the activity ofstearoyl-CoA desaturase (SCD), which leads to reduction of obesity, fatty liver and insulin resistance. |
