Description

Ursodeoxycholic Acid 7-Oleyl Ester is a lipophilic derivative of the primary bile acid ursodeoxycholic acid (UDCA), formed by esterification at the 7-position with oleyl alcohol. This modification significantly enhances its lipid solubility and membrane permeability, making it a valuable intermediate for advanced pharmaceutical and nutraceutical research. It is primarily utilized by R&D chemists and formulators in the development of novel drug delivery systems and specialized bioactive compounds targeting liver and metabolic health.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: Key starting material for synthesizing more complex, targeted prodrugs and lipophilic conjugates of ursodeoxycholic acid.
• Lipid-Based Drug Delivery: Incorporated into liposomes, micelles, and self-emulsifying drug delivery systems (SEDDS) to improve the bioavailability of poorly soluble active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs).
• Research Chemical: Used in biochemical and pharmacological studies to investigate the structure-activity relationships of bile acid derivatives and their effects on cellular membranes.
• Nutraceutical Formulation: Potential component in advanced dietary supplement formulations designed for enhanced absorption and targeted action.
• Cosmeceutical Applications: Explored as a bioactive ingredient in skincare products for its potential membrane-stabilizing and anti-inflammatory properties.
