Specifications
  • CAS Registry Number
    475-31-0
  • Details
    Glycocholic Acid (GCA) is the glycine conjugate of cholic acid and one of the primary bile acid components in human bile. The amphiphilic nature of Glycocholic acid – meaning it has both hydrophilic and hydrophobic regions – making it ideal for micelle formation, fats and vitamins solubilisation and enhancing the bioavailability of poorly soluble drugs. Glycocholic acid can also regulate the microbiological activity by limiting bacterial growth.

    Applications

    - Injectable Drug Formulations: GCA is widely used in parenteral formulations due to its ability to form mixed micelles, improving solubility and stability of hydrophobic active ingredients and vitamins
    - Oral and Nasal Drug Delivery: As a bile acid excipient, GCA supports enhanced solubilization of poor soluble drugs, absorption and permeability across mucosal membranes, making it suitable for oral suspensions and nasal spray applications.
