Description
Chenodiol, also known as Chenodeoxycholic Acid and chenocholic acid, is a bile acid. It occurs as a white crystalline substance insoluble in water but soluble in alcohol and acetic acid, with melting point at 165-167 °C. Salts of this carboxylic acid are called chenodeoxycholates. Chenodeoxycholic acid has been used as medical therapy to dissolve gallstones. Chenodeoxycholic acid can be used in the treatment of cerebrotendineous xanthomatosis. The Australian biotechnology company Giaconda has tested a treatment for Hepatitis C infection that combines chenodeoxycholic acid with bezafibrate.
