Glycodehydrocholic acid
5ß-cholanic acid-3,7,12-trione N-(2-carboxymethyl)-amide
Glycodehydrocholic Acid is a glycine (an amino acid) conjugated variation of dehydrocholic acid.
Dehydrocholic acid does not occur in physiological conditions. It’s a semisynthetic non-micellar tri-keto bile acid (BA). The compound is a derivative of cholic acid, obtained from its oxidation with chromic acid. Cholic acid is a primary BA and one of the two major BAs in human bile, together with chenodeoxycholic acid. Chromic acid refers to a mixture, formed of concentrated sulfuric acid and dichromate, known for its numerous uses in laboratory development and the chemical industry.
Dehydrocholic acid is established as a potent hydrocholeretic agent, because of its ability to stimulate and increase bile output.
As a dehydrocholic acid derivative, Glycodehydrocholic Acid displays similar properties as a cholagogue and choleretic.
The compound also finds applications in various analyses in the field of experimental biochemistry.
An expert in the synthesis of lipids, Avanti Research supplies scientists with high-grade research bile acids, including Glycodehydrocholic Acid, available worldwide.
