Sodium deoxycholate Usage And Synthesis

Chemical Properties

Sodium deoxycholate is white to cream crystalline powder

Uses

Sodium deoxycholate is an ionic detergent for the solubilization of membrane-bound proteins.

Uses

Sodium deoxycholate is used as a choleretic and an anionic detergent. It is useful for the extraction of membrane receptors, plasma membrane proteins, nuclei isolation and solubilizes fats as well as membrane components. It acts as an intermediate for the production of corticosteroids and microbiological diagnostic media. In addition, it acts as a catalyst in the preparation of protein extracts for immunoblotting and immunoprecipitation of radiolabeled proteins.

Uses

Sodium deoxycholate is used as a component in cell lysis buffers.

Definition

ChEBI: Sodium deoxycholate is a bile acid salt. It contains a deoxycholate.

General Description

Sodium deoxycholate is a bile salt and an ionic detergent. Bile salts work along with lipids/fats/cholesterol and form mixed micelles in the intestine. These micelles help in fat digestion and absorption through the intestinal wall.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Solubilizes fats for absorption in the intestines.

Safety Profile

Poison by intraperitoneal and intravenous routes. Moderately toxic by ingestion and subcutaneous routes. Experimental reproductive effects. Mutation data reported. When heated to decomposition it emits toxic fumes of NasO.

Purification Methods

Recrystallise it from EtOH and dry it in an oven at 100o. The solution is freed from soluble components by repeated extraction with acid-washed charcoal. [Beilstein 10 IV 1608.]
