Deoxycholic acid (conjugated base deoxycholate), also known as cholic acid, Kybella, Celluform Plus and 3α, 12α-dihydroxy-5β-cholan-24-oic acid, is produced by bile acids through bacterial action in the colon Secondary bile acid. Deoxycholic acid is soluble in ethanol and acetic acid. When pure, it is in the form of white to off-white crystalline powder. It is usually conjugated with glycine or taurine and is used as a detergent in emulsifying fats for intestinal absorption. When used as a drug, it is used as a choleretic drug, solubilizing the β-adrenergic receptor.
