Cholic acid-d4
5ß-cholanic acid-3a,7a,12a-triol (2,2,4,4-d4)
This product is for research use only in bile acid profiling, lipid metabolism, and analytical validation.
Cholic acid-d₄ is a deuterium-labeled analog of cholic acid designed for high-precision mass spectrometry and NMR-based lipidomics. It offers excellent spectral resolution and minimal chromatographic shift thanks to four non-exchangeable hydrogen atoms replaced by deuterium.
This deuterated substitution provides a more accurate quantification of endogenous cholic acid in complex biological matrices such as serum, plasma, bile, and feces.
As a primary bile acid synthesized in hepatocytes through cholesterol metabolism, cholic acid is critical in emulsifying dietary fats, eliminating excess cholesterol, and modulating gut microbiota activity.
Applications
Cholic acid‑d₄ has a wide range of applications as an internal standard for LC-MS/MS quantification of bile acids in pharmacokinetic, metabolic, and toxicological studies. Its high isotopic purity in bile acid profiling workflows minimizes analytical distraction, improving data reproducibility.
To support precise chemical shift measurements and structural elucidation in NMR applications, cholic acid-d₄ serves as a stable reference compound for deuterium-sensitive platforms, such as ¹H NMR.
Packaging
Avanti Research™ provides cholic Acid-d₄ in 100 µg (solution) and 5 mg (powder) packaging. Custom concentrations and bulk quantities are available upon request for institutional or GLP studies.
With over 50 years of experience supplying lipid-based products for cutting-edge life sciences research, we're proud to be trusted by academic institutions, pharmaceutical companies, and government labs worldwide. We take pride in setting the standard for precision and purity in analytical reference materials.
