Dehydrocholic Acid

[ CAS NO. ] 81-23-2
[ Molecular Formula ] C24H34O5
[ Molecular Weight ] 402.531
[ Appearance ] White to Off-White Powder

[ Function ]
1. Choleretic and promote bile secretion
2. It can stimulate liver cells to secrete a large amount of bile with low specific gravity and low viscosity.
3. Promote the drainage of bile and facilitates the excretion of bacteria, inflammatory products, toxins, gallstones and small stones in the biliary tract and gallbladder
4. Play the role of flushing and cleaning the biliary system

[ Application ]
It is used as a choleretic agent, a bile excretion increasing agent, a diuretic, and an auxiliary drug for diagnosis.

About Dehydrocholic Acid
Dehydrocholic acid is a synthetic bile acid generated from the oxidation of bile acid and is used as a bile excretion enhancer to increase bile production and to clear the increased bile acid load.
Dehydrocholic acid is a synthetic derivative of bile acid, which can promote bile secretion, increase the moisture in bile, but not increase the solid content, thereby promoting the secretion of a large amount of bile with lower viscosity, eliminating bile stasis, preventing ascending biliary tract infection, and also It has the effect of eliminating stones and promoting fat digestion and absorption, but does not increase the absorption of vitamin K. Clinically used for gallbladder and biliary dysfunction, post-cholecystectomy syndrome, chronic cholecystitis, cholelithiasis and certain liver diseases (such as chronic hepatitis).
