Dehydrocholic Acid

Dehydrocholic acid (CAS 81-23-2) is a semi-synthetic bile acid derivative produced by the oxidation of cholic acid. It functions as a choleretic agent, stimulating bile production and secretion, and is widely used in pharmaceutical formulations for biliary tract disorders. This product is supplied as a white to off-white crystalline powder with ≥98% purity (HPLC), specifically graded for pharmaceutical and research applications.

Its unique structure, featuring three ketone groups, makes it a valuable intermediate in the synthesis of steroidal compounds and a standard reference material in analytical chemistry. Every batch is accompanied by a Certificate of Analysis (COA), ensuring traceability and consistency for your quality control processes.

Synonyms: Dehydrocholin, Cholagon, Triketocholanic acid, 3,7,12-Trioxocholanic acid, NSC 750854
