Sodium Taurochenodeoxycholate Structure

Synonyms: TCDCA sodium salt, Sodium taurochenodeoxycholate, Taurochenodeoxycholic acid sodium salt, 2-[(3α,5β,7α)-3,7-Dihydroxy-24-oxocholan-24-yl]aminoethanesulfonic acid sodium salt, Chenodeoxycholyltaurine sodium salt

Sodium Taurochenodeoxycholate (TCDCA) is the sodium salt form of taurochenodeoxycholic acid, a primary bile acid conjugated with taurine. It occurs naturally in the bile of mammals, including humans, and plays a critical role in lipid digestion and absorption. As a commercial product, it is typically produced through chemical synthesis or semi-synthesis from chenodeoxycholic acid, ensuring high purity and consistent quality for industrial and research applications.

In the pharmaceutical and biotechnology sectors, TCDCA is valued for its ability to modulate bile acid receptors such as FXR and TGR5, making it a subject of interest in metabolic and liver-related research. It also serves as a key component in cell culture media, particularly for hepatocyte studies, and as a reference standard in analytical chemistry. Its amphiphilic nature allows it to act as a detergent, facilitating the solubilization of membrane proteins and lipids in various biochemical assays.
