(E)-7-Ethylidene-lithocholic Acid (7-ELCA) Is a Potent Dual Farnesoid X Receptor (FXR) Antagonist and GPBAR1 Agonist Inhibiting FXR-Induced Gene Expression in Hepatocytes and Stimulating Glucagon-like Peptide-1 Secretion From Enteroendocrine Cells

Bile acids (BAs) are key signaling steroidal molecules that regulate glucose, lipid, and energy homeostasis via interactions with the farnesoid X receptor (FXR) and G-protein bile acid receptor 1 (GPBAR1). Extensive medicinal chemistry modifications of the BA scaffold led to the discovery of potent...
