Description

Chenodeoxycholic Acid Sodium is the sodium salt form of the primary bile acid, chenodeoxycholic acid. This high-purity compound is essential for pharmaceutical research and manufacturing, particularly in the development of therapies for liver and metabolic disorders. It serves as a critical intermediate and reference standard for manufacturers in the pharmaceutical, biotechnology, and fine chemical sectors.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Active Ingredient: Key starting material or intermediate in the synthesis of ursodeoxycholic acid (UDCA) and other therapeutic bile acids.
• Biochemical Research: Used as a reference standard and reagent in studies of cholesterol metabolism, bile acid signaling, and liver function.
• Cell Culture & Diagnostics: Employed in specialized cell culture media and as a component in diagnostic kits for liver function tests.
• API Manufacturing: Serves as a critical building block in the production of Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients (APIs) targeting cholestatic liver diseases.
• Standard for Quality Control: Utilized as a certified reference material (CRM) for HPLC and other analytical methods in quality control laboratories.
