Chenodeoxycholic acid (CDCA) is a bile acid that inhibits 11β-HSD2 with an IC50 value of 22 mM. Chenodeoxycholic acid acts as a detergent to dissolve fat for intestinal absorption and is reabsorbed by the small intestine. Chenodeoxycholic acid is used as a choledocholithiasis, choledocholithiasis and laxative, as well as to prevent or dissolve gallstones.

Chenodeoxycholic acid (Standard) is an analytical reference standard intended for research and quantitative applications, representing a hydrophobic primary bile acid that activates nuclear farnesoid X receptor signaling pathways involved in cholesterol homeostasis, bile acid metabolism, and lipid regulation, and is widely used for biochemical validation, metabolic studies, and analytical method development.
