Description

Homoursodeoxycholic Acid is a secondary bile acid and a key pharmaceutical intermediate. This compound is valued for its role in the synthesis of advanced therapeutic agents targeting liver and metabolic disorders. It is primarily required by pharmaceutical R&D laboratories, fine chemical manufacturers, and academic research institutions engaged in hepatology and metabolic disease studies.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: A critical building block in the synthesis of ursodeoxycholic acid (UDCA) analogs and other bile acid-based therapeutics.
• Metabolic Research: Used as a reference standard or active agent in studies investigating bile acid metabolism, cholestasis, and liver function.
• Biochemical Synthesis: Serves as a precursor in the enzymatic or chemical production of more complex bile acid derivatives for drug discovery.
• Cell Culture & In Vitro Studies: Employed in biological assays to study the effects of bile acids on hepatocytes and other cell lines.
• Analytical Standard: Utilized as a high-purity standard for HPLC, LC-MS, or other analytical methods in quality control and research laboratories.

Quality Control

Our Homoursodeoxycholic Acid is produced under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including identification, purity assay, and impurity profiling, to ensure it meets the high standards required for pharmaceutical research and development. Certificates of Analysis (COA) with detailed chromatographic data are available upon request.

Storage

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