Ursodeoxycholic Acid-d5

Description:

Ursodeoxycholic Acid-d5 is a deuterated form of ursodeoxycholic acid, a bile acid that plays a significant role in the digestion and absorption of fats. The "d5" designation indicates that five hydrogen atoms in the molecule have been replaced with deuterium, a stable isotope of hydrogen, which is often used in research to trace metabolic pathways or in NMR spectroscopy for structural analysis. Ursodeoxycholic acid itself is known for its therapeutic properties, particularly in the treatment of certain liver diseases and gallstones, as it helps to dissolve cholesterol gallstones and improve liver function. The deuterated version is utilized in various biochemical studies to provide insights into metabolic processes without altering the biological activity of the compound. Its molecular structure includes a steroid backbone with hydroxyl groups that contribute to its solubility and biological function. As a research chemical, Ursodeoxycholic Acid-d5 is valuable for studying the dynamics of bile acids and their effects on lipid metabolism.
