Chenodeoxycholic acid (CAS 474-25-9) is a primary bile acid synthesized in the liver from cholesterol. It is a white to off-white powder that is sparingly soluble in water.
Clinically, it is used to dissolve cholesterol gallstones and to treat cerebrotendinous xanthomatosis. It is also a key starting material for ursodeoxycholic acid synthesis.
1. Used as an active pharmaceutical ingredient for cholesterol gallstone dissolution.
2. Serves as a precursor for ursodeoxycholic acid (UDCA) synthesis.
3. Applied in the treatment of cerebrotendinous xanthomatosis.
4. Used as a biological detergent and research reagent in bile-acid metabolism studies.
