Preparation of Cholic acid: the process of ethanol crystallization method are: (1)Hydrolysis of cattle, sheep bile acid; (2)Acidification of sodium hydroxide; (3)Dissolution, crystallization heavy crystallization of sulfuric acid crude bile acid; (4)Ethanol refined bile acid.

Cholic acid, along with chenodeoxycholic acid, is one of two major bile acids produced by the liver where it is synthesized from cholesterol. These derivatives are made from cholyl-CoA, which forms a conjugate with either glycine, or taurine, yielding glycocholic and taurocholic acid respectively. Cholic acid downregulates cholesterol-7-α-hydroxylase (rate-limiting step in bile acid synthesis), and cholesterol does the opposite. This is why chenodeoxycholic acid, and not cholic acid, can be used to treat gallstones (because decreasing bile acid synthesis would supersaturate the stones even more). Cholic acid and chenodeoxycholic acid are the most important human bile acids. Some other mammals synthesize predominantly deoxycholic acid.
