Description

Dehydrocholic Acid is a synthetic bile acid derivative, known for its choleretic properties. It is valued in the pharmaceutical industry for its ability to stimulate bile production and flow, aiding in digestive processes. This compound is primarily utilized by manufacturers of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs), research institutions, and producers of diagnostic reagents.

Application

• Pharmaceutical API: A key intermediate in the synthesis of ursodeoxycholic acid and other therapeutic bile acids.
• Choleretic Agent: Used in the formulation of medications to treat biliary disorders and improve bile secretion.
• Biochemical Research: Serves as a standard or reagent in studies of hepatic function, lipid metabolism, and bile acid pathways.
• Diagnostic Reagents: Employed in the production of kits and assays for liver function testing.
• Reference Standard: Used in quality control laboratories for HPLC and other analytical method development and validation.
