CAS 1553-56-6: DEHYDROLITHOCHOLIC ACID
Description:Dehydrolithocholic acid is a bile acid derivative characterized by its unique chemical structure, which includes a steroid nucleus with hydroxyl groups and a carboxylic acid functional group. It is a product of the metabolic conversion of lithocholic acid and is primarily found in the bile of various species. This compound exhibits amphipathic properties, allowing it to interact with both hydrophilic and hydrophobic environments, which is crucial for its role in emulsifying fats and aiding in their absorption in the digestive system. Dehydrolithocholic acid is also involved in the regulation of cholesterol metabolism and has been studied for its potential effects on lipid metabolism and gut health. Its CAS number, 1553-56-6, is used for identification in chemical databases. While it is not commonly used in clinical settings, understanding its biochemical roles can provide insights into digestive health and the metabolism of lipids. As with many bile acids, it may also have implications in various physiological and pathological processes, including liver function and metabolic disorders.
