Ursodeoxycholic Acid (UDCA) Intermediates are steroidal bile-acid derivatives that sit between upstream bile-acid feedstocks and the final ursodeoxycholic acid (ursodiol) API. In typical epimerization chemistry, a key objective is to set the 7?-hydroxy configuration of UDCA; therefore, C7-oxidized intermediates (e.g., 7-ketolithocholic acid, 7K-LCA) are frequently used as ?handles? that can be reduced stereoselectively to UDCA.
Upstream of UDCA intermediates, manufacturers generally start from readily available bile acids such as cholic acid (CA), as well as chenodeoxycholic acid (CDCA) or lithocholic acid (LCA) depending on the chosen route. Because bile acids in natural bile often exist as glycine/taurine conjugates, upstream processing can include hydrolysis/deconjugation before multi-step oxidation?reduction and protection?deprotection operations generate the required intermediates.
Downstream, these intermediates are converted into UDCA API, which is then formulated into oral drug products. Ursodiol products are indicated for primary biliary cholangitis (PBC), and another labeled use is gallstone dissolution in appropriately selected patients; the drug is described as a bile acid and its chemical identity is 3,7?-dihydroxy-5?-cholan-24-oic acid.
In 2025, global sales of Ursodeoxycholic Acid (UDCA) Intermediates reached approximately 1,966 tons, with an average global market price of around US$ 128/kg. Production capacity varies significantly among manufacturers, with gross profit margins ranging from approximately 20% to 45%.
