CAS 2646-38-0: Sodium chenodeoxycholate
Description:Sodium chenodeoxycholate, with the CAS number 2646-38-0, is a bile salt derived from chenodeoxycholic acid, which is a naturally occurring bile acid in the human body. It is a white to off-white powder that is soluble in water and exhibits amphipathic properties, allowing it to interact with both hydrophilic and hydrophobic substances. This compound plays a significant role in the emulsification and absorption of dietary fats and fat-soluble vitamins in the intestine. Sodium chenodeoxycholate is often used in pharmaceutical formulations, particularly in the treatment of certain types of gallstones and as a cholesterol-lowering agent. Additionally, it has applications in biochemistry and molecular biology as a detergent for membrane protein solubilization and purification. Its safety profile indicates that it should be handled with care, as it can cause irritation upon contact with skin or mucous membranes. Overall, sodium chenodeoxycholate is an important compound in both physiological processes and various industrial applications.
