Sodium Deoxycholate - Product Introduction

Definition: Sodium Deoxycholate is a bile acid salt derived from deoxycholic acid, commonly used in pharmaceutical and chemical industries. It is typically used as a surfactant and emulsifier in various formulations.

Functions:

· Surfactant & Emulsifier: Acts as a detergent, helping to dissolve lipids and facilitating the emulsification of fats and oils in aqueous solutions.

· Cell Disruption Agent: Often used in laboratory settings to lyse cell membranes for the extraction of proteins or nucleic acids.

· Solubilizing Agent: Helps in the solubilization of hydrophobic compounds, making them more bioavailable and easier to process in formulations.

Applications:

· Pharmaceutical Industry: Used in the formulation of injectable drugs and vaccines to enhance the solubility of hydrophobic drugs and improve their bioavailability.

· Cosmetic Industry: Included in some skincare formulations as an emulsifier and stabilizing agent in creams and lotions.

· Research & Development: Utilized in molecular biology for cell membrane disruption and protein isolation in laboratories.
