Description

Biliatresone is a reactive natural biliary toxin that selectively injures extrahepatic cholangiocytes and produces biliary-atresia-like pathology in zebrafish and neonatal mouse models. Its electrophilic enone reacts with glutathione and other nucleophilic biomolecules.

Biliatresone depletes cellular glutathione, disrupts redox and protein homeostasis and reduces the biliary transcription factor SOX17, contributing to epithelial damage, lumen obstruction and fibrosis. It is a specialized tool for studying bile-duct development, cholangiocyte susceptibility and biliary atresia mechanisms.
