Glycoursodeoxycholic Acid

Glycoursodeoxycholic acid (GUDCA) is a conjugated bile acid formed by the amidation of ursodeoxycholic acid with glycine. It is a naturally occurring component of human and mammalian bile, where it participates in lipid emulsification and absorption. As the glycine conjugate of UDCA, GUDCA exhibits enhanced hydrophilicity and distinct physicochemical properties compared to its parent compound, making it a valuable reference standard and active pharmaceutical ingredient for research and formulation development.

We supply GUDCA as a white to off-white powder with HPLC purity of ≥98%, suitable for use in bile acid research, hepatoprotective formulations, and metabolic disorder studies. Each batch is accompanied by a comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA), Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS), and Technical Data Sheet (TDS), ensuring full traceability and compliance with rigorous quality standards.

Synonyms: 3α,7β-Dihydroxy-5β-cholan-24-oic acid glycine conjugate, Glycylursodeoxycholic acid, UDCA-glycine conjugate, N-(3α,7β-Dihydroxy-5β-cholan-24-oyl)glycine
