Cholic Acid

Cholic acid (CAS 81-25-4) is a primary bile acid that plays a structural role in fat emulsification and absorption. It is isolated from bovine or ovine bile and purified to ≥98% HPLC, appearing as a white to off-white crystalline powder. This grade is intended for pharmaceutical, nutraceutical, and research applications, where consistent purity and reliable sourcing matter.

As a key intermediate in bile acid metabolism, cholic acid is used in the synthesis of ursodeoxycholic acid and other derivatives. Its amphiphilic nature makes it a useful solubilizing agent in drug delivery systems. We supply this material in research and commercial quantities, with full documentation for each batch.

Synonyms: 3α,7α,12α-Trihydroxy-5β-cholan-24-oic acid, Cholanic acid, Cholicum acid, 5β-Cholic acid
