TCI C0324 Cholic Acid (CAS 81-25-4) is a primary bile acid with a facially amphiphilic steroid structure that enables micelle formation and lipid solubilisation. It is widely used as a biological surfactant, as a chiral building block in supramolecular chemistry, and as a starting material for bile acid derivatives. Researchers also apply it as a reference compound in bile acid analysis and lipid metabolism studies. Supplied by Tokyo Chemical Industry in 25 g and 500 g packs for research and experimental use only, it should be stored cool, dry, and tightly closed.
Advantages (TCI brochure)
- Major bile component, present as glycine and taurine conjugates
- Amphiphilic conjugates assist digestion and absorption of lipids
