CAS 547-98-8: Trihydroxycoprostanic acid
Description:Trihydroxycoprostanic acid, with the CAS number 547-98-8, is a chemical compound that belongs to the class of steroid acids. It is characterized by the presence of three hydroxyl (-OH) groups attached to its steroid backbone, which contributes to its unique chemical properties and biological activities. This compound is derived from coprostanol, a sterol that is a product of cholesterol metabolism in the human gut. The presence of multiple hydroxyl groups enhances its solubility in water compared to other steroid compounds, influencing its interactions in biological systems. Trihydroxycoprostanic acid may play a role in various physiological processes, including lipid metabolism and signaling pathways. Its structural features allow it to participate in hydrogen bonding, which can affect its reactivity and interactions with other biomolecules. While specific applications and biological functions may vary, compounds like trihydroxycoprostanic acid are of interest in biochemistry and pharmacology for their potential roles in health and disease.
