Sodium dehydrocholate

Sodium dehydrocholate (NaDHC, CAS: 145-41-5) is the sodium salt form of dehydrocholic acid, with the chemical formula C₂₄H₃₃NaO₅ and molecular weight 424.51 g/mol. As a synthetic potent choleretic agent, its water solubility is 20 times higher than dehydrocholic acid (up to 500 mg/mL). It is listed in both the United States Pharmacopeia (USP-NF) and European Pharmacopoeia (EP 11.0) as an injectable choleretic drug. The 2023 International Hepato-Pancreato-Biliary Association (IHPBA) guidelines recommend it as first-line therapy for postoperative cholestasis (Evidence Level: ⅠA).
