Description

Tauro-3 β-Hydroxy-5-Cholenoate is a conjugated bile acid derivative, specifically the taurine amide of 3β-hydroxy-5-cholenoic acid. This compound serves as a crucial intermediate and reference standard in the research and development of bile acid metabolism and liver function studies. It is primarily utilized by pharmaceutical R&D laboratories, diagnostic kit manufacturers, and academic research institutions focused on hepatology and metabolic disorders.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Reference Standard: Used for the qualitative and quantitative analysis of bile acid profiles in drug development and bioanalytical research.
• Diagnostic Reagent Component: Serves as a critical calibrator or control in clinical diagnostic assays for liver function and cholestatic diseases.
• Metabolic Pathway Research: A key substrate or marker for studying bile acid synthesis, conjugation, and enterohepatic circulation in academic and industrial settings.
• Biochemical Synthesis: Acts as a high-purity building block for the synthesis of more complex bile acid analogs and labeled compounds for tracer studies.
• Cell Culture & In Vitro Studies: Employed in hepatocyte culture models to investigate the effects of specific bile acid species on cell signaling and toxicity.
