Florantyrone
Florantyrone (Zanchol) is a bile-promoting agent. Florantyrone increases the volume of bile rather than the content of bile acids. Zanchol can stimulate the synthesis of cholesterol in the liver, significantly raising the plasma cholesterol level, increasing the weight of the liver, but has no significant effect on the synthesis of cholesterol in the intestine. Florantyrone can be used in research on biliary motility disorders[1][2][3].
