Description

Sodium Tauroglycocholate CAS NO 11006-55-6 is a high-purity conjugated bile salt, a critical biochemical reagent and pharmaceutical intermediate. This compound is essential for its role as a natural surfactant and solubilizing agent for lipids and hydrophobic compounds in biological systems. It is primarily utilized by research institutions, diagnostic manufacturers, and pharmaceutical companies for applications in cell culture, in-vitro diagnostics, and drug formulation.

Application

• Biochemical Research & Cell Culture: Used as a component in media for the isolation and cultivation of mammalian cells, particularly for its membrane-solubilizing properties.
• Pharmaceutical Excipient: Acts as a solubilizer and absorption enhancer in the formulation of poorly water-soluble active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs).
• In-Vitro Diagnostic (IVD) Reagents: A key ingredient in diagnostic kits, especially for liver function tests and assays involving lipid metabolism.
• Reference Standard: Serves as a high-purity analytical standard in chromatography (HPLC, LC-MS) for quality control and metabolic studies.
• Enzymology Studies: Employed to study the activity and kinetics of lipases, cholesterol oxidases, and other lipid-related enzymes.
• Bile Acid Metabolism Research: Fundamental for investigating hepatic function, cholestasis, and intestinal absorption processes.
