CAS 2276-94-0: (3α,5α)-3-Hydroxycholan-24-oic acid
Description:(3α,5α)-3-Hydroxycholan-24-oic acid, commonly known as chenodeoxycholic acid, is a bile acid that plays a crucial role in the digestion and absorption of dietary fats. It is a steroid acid derived from cholesterol and is characterized by its hydroxyl groups at the 3α and 5α positions, which contribute to its amphipathic nature, allowing it to interact with both lipids and water. This compound is typically found in the bile of mammals and is involved in the emulsification of fats, facilitating their breakdown by digestive enzymes. Chenodeoxycholic acid also has therapeutic applications, particularly in the treatment of certain types of gallstones and as a cholesterol-lowering agent. Its molecular structure includes a steroid backbone with a carboxylic acid functional group, which enhances its solubility in bile. Additionally, it is important in the regulation of cholesterol metabolism and has been studied for its potential effects on liver function and lipid profiles. Overall, (3α,5α)-3-Hydroxycholan-24-oic acid is a significant biochemical compound with various physiological and pharmacological implications.
