Hyodeoxycholic Acid (HDCA) (CAS: 83-49-8) is extracted and processed from pig bile, which is a secondary bile acid. The appearance is white or off-white powder; it is odorless or slightly fishy, and has a slightly bitter taste. This product is easily soluble in ethanol, slightly soluble in acetone, very slightly soluble in ethyl acetate, and almost insoluble in water.
This product is one of the most widely used gallstone medicine raw materials in the world. It can also be used as a feed lick additive. It is also a raw material for the synthesis of Ursodeoxycholic Acid (UDCA) and other steroids, and it is also used for the production of artificial bezoar the main raw materials.
Hyodeoxycholic Acid is a bile acid that is naturally produced in the liver and released into the digestive system to aid in the digestion and absorption of dietary fats. It belongs to a group of bile acids known as ursodeoxycholic acid, which also includes cholic acid and deoxycholic acid. Hyodeoxycholic acid has been found to have various therapeutic effects, including reducing cholesterol levels, improving liver function, and remedy certain liver and gallbladder diseases. It is also used in the production of pharmaceuticals and as a reagent in biochemical research.
Hyodeoxycholic Acid can inhibit the formation of bile acid and dissolve fat, reduce blood cholesterol and triglycerides. It is suitable for type I a or I hyperlipidemia, atherosclerosis, Pertussis, diphtheria, staphylococcus, etc. have a certain antibacterial effect, can also be used as anti-inflammatory drugs, treatment of chronic bronchitis, pediatric viral upper respiratory tract inflammation and so on.
Hyodeoxycholic Acid 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. It can lower blood cholesterol, treat and prevent coronary heart disease, hypertension, etc. 

1. Hyodeoxycholic Acid is suitable for type Ia and Ib hyperlipidemia and atherosclerosis. It has a certain antibacterial effect on Bacillus pertussis, Bacillus diphtheria, Staphylococcus aureus, etc. It is also suitable for cholecystitis, cholecystitis, cholelithiasis and other non-obstructive cholestasis. It can speed up the discharge of gallbladder contrast agent from the liver to aid in visualization. It can promote intestinal fat decomposition and absorption of fat-soluble vitamins, and can be used for indigestion caused by liver and gallbladder diseases. It can be used as an anti-inflammatory drug to treat chronic bronchitis and viral respiratory inflammation in children. Occasionally, it can cause gastrointestinal discomfort, mild diarrhea, etc.
2. Used to lower blood cholesterol.
3. One of the raw materials for the treatment of gallstones; the raw material for the synthesis of Ursodeoxycholic Acid (UDCA) and other steroids; the main raw material for the production of artificial bezoar
4. Lower blood lipids, lower blood cholesterol, lower transaminase, etc.
5. Hyodeoxycholic Acid can lower blood cholesterol, treat and prevent coronary heart disease, hypertension, etc.
