Product Description

Chenodeoxycholic Acid (CDCA) is a naturally occurring bile acid extracted from bile sources such as chicken, duck, and goose. It usually appears as a white to pale yellow crystalline powder. As an important bile acid raw material, it is widely used in pharmaceutical production and intermediate synthesis.

This product is an important intermediate in the production of Ursodeoxycholic Acid (UDCA) and Obeticholic Acid, and also serves as one of the major active components in bile acid related product lines.

Applications

  • Intermediate for Ursodeoxycholic Acid (UDCA)
  • Intermediate for Obeticholic Acid
  • Bile acid related pharmaceutical synthesis
  • Raw material for bile acid product development
  • Industrial and pharmaceutical intermediate applications

Functions and Uses

Chenodeoxycholic Acid (CDCA) is one of the important bile acids used in pharmaceutical and biochemical applications. It is known for its role in bile acid metabolism and as an essential upstream raw material in the synthesis of related compounds.

Its main value includes:

  • helping reduce cholesterol saturation in bile acid-related research and pharmaceutical applications
  • serving as a key precursor in bile acid transformation
  • functioning as a core industrial raw material for UDCA synthesis
  • being used in the development of bile acid derived compounds and intermediates

In industrial and pharmaceutical fields, CDCA is recognized as an important starting material for the preparation of Ursodeoxycholic Acid and other bile acid related compounds.
