Dehydrocholic Acid

    WARNING: This product is for research use only, not for human or veterinary use.

MedKoo CAT#: 531015

CAS#: 81-23-2 (acid)

Description: Dehydrocholic acid is a semisynthetic bile acid synthesized from cholic acid. Dehydrocholic acid caused a dramatic decrease of phospholipid, cholesterol and bilirubin concentration but had little effect on bile acids concentration. Bile flow, expressed as the ratio of bile flow to bile acid excretion, was increased after dehydrocholic acid administration. It was speculated that the hydroxy keto metabolites are hydrocholeretics. The proportion of cholesterol to lecithin and bile acids did not change significantly after dehydrocholic acid administration.
