General description

Sodium cholate hydrate, a non-denaturing anionic detergent, plays a crucial role in biochemical research, particularly in protein solubilization and membrane permeabilization, making it essential for protein extraction and purification, especially when dealing with membrane proteins and protein complexes. Derived from cholic acid, a prevalent human bile acid, sodium cholate hydrate′s water solubility and its applications extend to investigating the effects of various substances on cell cultures, making it a versatile tool in laboratory research.

Application

Sodium cholate hydrate has been used in a study to assess the effect of phospholipid formulation and surfactants on the dermal delivery of hydrophilic drugs from elastic liposomes. It has also been used in a study to investigate the elastic deformable vesicles, transfersomes, for transdermal drug delivery.
