Description

Sodium Dehydrocholate is a water-soluble bile acid salt derived from cholic acid, known for its choleretic properties. This compound is valued in pharmaceutical and biochemical research for its ability to stimulate bile production and flow. It serves as a critical intermediate and active ingredient for manufacturers in the pharmaceutical, diagnostic, and life science sectors, where precise chemical performance is required.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediates: Key starting material or intermediate in the synthesis of steroid-based pharmaceuticals and other bioactive molecules.
• Choleretic Agent: Used in research and development of formulations aimed at stimulating bile secretion for hepatobiliary function studies.
• Biochemical Research: Employed as a standard or reagent in studies involving bile acid metabolism, membrane permeability, and protein binding.
• Diagnostic Reagents: Component in vitro diagnostic kits and assays for liver function and related clinical tests.
• Reference Standard: Serves as a high-purity analytical standard for quality control in pharmaceutical laboratories.

Quality Control

Our Sodium Dehydrocholate is produced under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including identification, assay, and impurity profiling, to ensure it meets the high standards required for pharmaceutical and research applications. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, physical characteristics, and test results is provided with every shipment and is available upon request.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed to prevent moisture absorption, which can affect product stability and performance.
