Description

Cholanic Acid is a primary bile acid derivative, a key intermediate in the synthesis of various steroid-based pharmaceuticals and biochemical reagents. Its significance lies in its role as a versatile building block for producing compounds with targeted biological activity. This high-purity intermediate is essential for manufacturers in the pharmaceutical, research, and fine chemical sectors seeking reliable synthesis pathways.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: Critical starting material for the synthesis of ursodeoxycholic acid (UDCA), chenodeoxycholic acid (CDCA), and other therapeutic bile acids.
• Biochemical Research: Used as a standard or reagent in metabolic pathway studies, hepatology research, and investigations into cholesterol metabolism.
• Fine Chemical Synthesis: Serves as a chiral template or precursor for producing specialized surfactants, complex organic molecules, and steroid conjugates.
• Reference Standard: Employed in analytical laboratories for method development, calibration, and quality control testing of related compounds.

Quality Control

Our Cholanic Acid is manufactured under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC for purity and identity confirmation, to ensure it meets stringent specifications for pharmaceutical intermediate use. Certificates of Analysis (COA) documenting all test results are provided and available upon request.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area at controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed after opening to minimize exposure to atmospheric moisture.
