Sodium dehydrocholate is used as a choleretic agent (promotes bile flow), a digestive aid, and as a surfactant/excipient in pharmaceutical and cosmetic formulations. It functions by promoting the secretion of bile, which aids in the digestion of fats, and can help protect the liver and pancreas. Its properties also make it useful in enhancing the solubility and absorption of other lipophilic compounds and in scientific research involving cell membranes. The directory classifies it as a commercial API with a semi-synthetic source/manufacturing origin. Other names for this substance include Carachol and Biliron. Its PubChem CID is 23675007.
