(5b,12b)- 12-hydroxyCholan-24-oic acid

Description:

(5b,12b)-12-hydroxyCholan-24-oic acid, commonly known as a bile acid derivative, is a steroid compound characterized by its hydroxyl group at the 12th carbon position and a carboxylic acid functional group at the 24th carbon. This compound is part of the cholane family, which is derived from cholesterol and plays a crucial role in the digestion and absorption of fats in the intestine. Its structure contributes to its amphipathic nature, allowing it to interact with both lipophilic and hydrophilic environments. The presence of the hydroxyl group enhances its solubility in water, while the steroid backbone provides a rigid structure that is essential for its biological function. This substance is involved in various physiological processes, including the emulsification of dietary lipids and the regulation of cholesterol metabolism. Additionally, it may have implications in pharmacology and biochemistry, particularly in studies related to lipid metabolism and bile acid signaling pathways.
