a significant reduction <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> body weight <strong>of</strong> mice<br />

induces<br />

a high fat diet (Watanabe, 2006). Since compound 1<br />

fed<br />

<strong>the</strong> same cholestane structure with bile acids, ligands<br />

has<br />

this receptor, TGR5 assay was accomplished with this<br />

for<br />

using Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells and a<br />

isolate<br />

acid, lithocholic acid as a positive control. However,<br />

bile<br />

compound failed to show agonistic activity on TGR5<br />

this<br />

It was suggested that it could have resulted <strong>from</strong><br />

receptor.<br />

<strong>of</strong> negatively charged functional groups or presence<br />

lack<br />

a double bond to increase molecular rigidity or bulky<br />

<strong>of</strong><br />

moieties <strong>of</strong> this bisdesmosidic cholestane<br />
