Cholic acid is also known as 3 α, seven α, twelve α- Trihydroxy-5 β- Bile-24-carboxylic acid is the main component of bile acids, insoluble in water but soluble in ethanol and acetic acid. Its solid state is white crystals, and its salts are called bile salts. Cholic acid can be used in biochemical research and the synthesis of pharmaceutical intermediates. Sodium cholate is a diuretic used to treat symptoms such as cholecystitis, bile deficiency, and gastrointestinal dyspepsia.
