Description

Tauroursodeoxycholic Acid is a water-soluble, conjugated bile acid derivative known for its cytoprotective and anti-apoptotic properties. This high-purity compound is critical for pharmaceutical research and development, particularly in hepatology and neurology. It serves as a key active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) and reference standard for manufacturers and research institutions worldwide.

Application

• Pharmaceutical API: Primary ingredient in formulations for treating cholestatic liver diseases, such as primary biliary cholangitis (PBC).
• Neuroprotective Research: Investigated in preclinical and clinical studies for neurodegenerative conditions, including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) and Alzheimer's disease.
• Cell Culture & Biochemistry: Used as a chemical chaperone to reduce endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress and improve protein folding in vitro.
• Reference Standard: Serves as a high-purity analytical standard for quality control (QC) and method development in pharmaceutical testing labs.
• Metabolic Disorder Studies: Employed in research exploring bile acid metabolism and its role in metabolic syndromes.
• Ophthalmology: Studied for potential therapeutic effects in retinal degenerative diseases.

Quality Control

Our Tauroursodeoxycholic Acid is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Each batch is tested to ensure it meets high-purity standards suitable for pharmaceutical research and development. Certificates of Analysis (COA) with detailed chromatographic data are provided to guarantee identity, purity, and consistency.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store at controlled room temperature (15-25°C) in a dry environment. The material is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive); ensure the container is sealed after each use to prevent absorption of atmospheric moisture.
