Berberine ursodeoxycholate

Berberine ursodeoxycholate (HTD1801), an ionic salt of Berberine and Ursodeoxycholic acid, is an orally active and potent hypolipidemic agent. Berberine ursodeoxycholate shows significantly great reduction in liver fat content. Berberine ursodeoxycholate has a broad spectrum of metabolic activity. Berberine ursodeoxycholate can be used for the research of hyperlipidemia, non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) and diabetes[1][2].

Berberine ursodeoxycholate shows significant reductions in HbA1c (hemoglobin A1c) levels, mean HbA1c levels decreases by 0.6%[1]. Berberine ursodeoxycholate is ingested in the form of a salt and it is thought that the salt promptly dissociates within the gastrointestinal tract and that Berberine and Ursodeoxycholic acid are differentially absorbed[1].
