Bile Salts No. 3 is a water-soluble mixture of the two salts, sodium cholate and sodium deoxycholate, which was developed specifically for microbiological applications and is manufactured in large quantities at ICE Pharma. ...

Lithocholic Acid (LCA) is a secondary human bile acid, produced in the gut by microbial action on chenodeoxycholic acid. High purity LCA is produced by ICE Pharma through a semi-synthetic process. ...

N-Acetyl-D-mannosamine, manufactured according to cGMP at our NZP site is a rare monosaccharide involved in a range of metabolic processes. It is often used as a precursor in the chemical or enzymatic synthesis of the neuraminic acids found in glycolipids and glycoproteins. In biological systems it ...

Ox bile powder is made from pH adjusted (to neutral), filtered and spray dried bovine bile. As it has not undergone a hydrolysis process, the bile acids predominantly remain in their natural conjugated form, hence ox bile powder is freely water soluble. ...

Overview Sodium Cholate (NaC) is the sodium salt of Cholic Acid, the most abundant bile acid naturally found in human bile. As an amphiphilic compound, it plays a key role in solubilizing lipids and enhancing drug absorption. ICE Pharma produces high-purity, GMP-compliant Sodium Cholate through a ro...

Sodium deoxycholate is the sodium salt of deoxycholic acid, and is water-soluble. ICE Pharma manufactures high purity GMP compliant sodium deoxycholate from bovine bile through a robust extraction/purification process. ...

Overview Sodium Glycocholate (NaGC) is the sodium salt of Glycocholic Acid, a naturally occurring bile acid conjugate of glycine and cholic acid. As an amphiphilic bile salt, NaGC offers surfactant properties relevant for fat emulsification, vitamins and drugs solubilisation and drug permeation acro...

Overview Sodium Taurocholate (NaTC) is the taurine conjugate of cholic acid, a water-soluble bile acid naturally produced in the liver of many animal species. As amphiphilic compound, the bile salt NaTC is used to improve the solubility, stability, permeation across biological membrane of drugs. ICE...

Overview Sodium Taurodeoxycholate (NaTDC) is the sodium salt of taurine conjugate of deoxycholic acid (DCA), a naturally occurring secondary bile acid. As amphiphilic compound, NaTDC is effective to increase the bioavailability of drugs due to enhancing the solubility and permeation across biologica...

NZP Special Bile is a water-soluble refined bile product containing a natural mixture of bovine conjugated bile acids and is used as a selective inhibitory agent in microbiological media. It differs from Ox Bile Powder in several ways, thus is preferred for media such as MacConkey broth and agar, Br...

Tauroursodeoxycholic Acid (TUDCA) is a naturally occurring hydrophilic bile acid and the taurine conjugate of ursodeoxycholic acid. It plays a key role in liver protection, cellular health, and mitochondrial function. Its growing relevance in neurodegenerative disease research positions it as a valu...
