General description

BAA473 (11-oxo-12S-hydroxy lithocholic acid methyl ester) is a more potent analog of microbiome metabolite BAA485 (12-oxolithocholic acid) that activates the Pyrin inflammasome in myeloid and intestinal epithelial cells. BAA473 potently induces secretion of IL1β and IL18 in LPS-primed PBMCs and THP-1 cells.
Bile acids, natural steroid amphipathic compounds formed through cholesterol oxidation in the liver, play a crucial role in regulating lipid metabolism. They facilitate the digestion, absorption, and transport of lipids, lipid-soluble vitamins, and related molecules in the gastrointestinal tract. These bile acids also impact various aspects of cholesterol, glucose, and energy balance.

Application

BAA473 (11-oxo-12S-hydroxy lithocholic acid methyl ester) finds application in metabolomics, biochemical and microbiome research.

Features and Benefits

  • Can be used in Metabolomics and Biochemical research
  • High-quality compound suitable for multiple research applications
