Descriptor Spanish: Ácido Ursodesoxicólico
Descriptor ácido ursodesoxicólico
Scope note: Epímero del ácido quenodesoxicólico. Es un ácido biliar de mamíferos que se encuentra primeramente en osos y que, aparentemente, es precursor o producto del quenodesoxicolato. Su administración altera la composición de la bilis y puede disolver los cálculos biliares. Se utiliza como colagogo y colerético.

Scope note: An epimer of chenodeoxycholic acid. It is a mammalian bile acid found first in the bear and is apparently either a precursor or a product of chenodeoxycholate. Its administration changes the composition of bile and may dissolve gallstones. It is used as a cholagogue and choleretic.
