Dehydrocholic Acid Analysis Service

Dehydrocholic acid (DHCA) is a triketone bile acid synthesized through the oxidation of cholic acid. It is primarily used as a choleretic agent to enhance bile secretion and flow, aiding in the treatment of cholestasis and other liver and gallbladder diseases. DHCA's unique triketone structure gives it distinct chemical properties and biological functions. Analyzing DHCA is essential for understanding its therapeutic mechanisms, evaluating drug efficacy, and studying bile acid metabolic pathways.
