Best-Effort Research Profile

Sodium deoxycholate is an ionic bile acid salt composed of sodium and deoxycholate. PubChem reports the molecular formula C24H39NaO4, molecular weight 414.6 g/mol, CAS Registry Number 302-95-4, and describes it as a bile acid salt. Research literature characterizes sodium deoxycholate as an amphiphilic bile salt with detergent activity, membrane-interacting properties, and concentration-dependent self-association in aqueous systems.

Source review pending. This descriptive profile is shown from the available source material as a best-effort educational reference. It has not passed the full verification bar and is not a dosing instruction, medical claim, or treatment recommendation.

Research Notes

No compound-wide half-life, onset, storage condition, or standardized administration regimen was assigned because these properties are formulation-, matrix-, route-, and study-dependent and were not reliably supported by the authoritative sources reviewed. Published experimental work reports sodium deoxycholate concentrations and exposure conditions in biochemical, membrane, cellular, and animal models, but these should not be generalized as clinical dosing information. The FDA-approved KYBELLA label concerns deoxycholic acid injection and is included only to document the distinction between deoxycholic acid and sodium deoxycholate.

Source-Backed Observations

PubChem identifies sodium deoxycholate as a solid and as a salt consisting of sodium and deoxycholate components. The deoxycholate anion is derived from deoxycholic acid, a secondary bile acid. Sodium deoxycholate should not be treated as identical to synthetic deoxycholic acid in formulation records: the current U.S. KYBELLA label identifies deoxycholic acid, rather than sodium deoxycholate, as the active ingredient, while an FDA review documents an earlier sodium-deoxycholate drug-substance form during development.
