Product name: Hyodeoxycholic Acid
Other Names: UDCA;3alpha,6alpha-Dihydroxy-5beta-cholan-24-oic acid; Pig Hyodeoxycholic acid
CAS: 83-49-8
EINECS: 201-483-2
Appearance: White or off whiter powder
The function
Hyodeoxycholic acid, also known as 3α,6α-Dihydroxy-5β-cholan-24-oic acid or HDCA, is a secondary bile acid, one of the metabolic byproducts of intestinal bacteria. It differs from deoxycholic acid in that the 6α-hydroxyl is in the 12 position in the former. The 6α-hydroxyl group makes HDCA a hydrophilic acid, a property it shares with hyocholic acid. HDCA is present in mammalian species in different proportions. It is the main acid constituent of hog bile, and for this reason it was used industrially as precursor for steroid synthesis before total synthesis became practical.
