Beschreibung

5beta-Cholanic acid is a fatty acid that is the product of cholesterol metabolism. It has been shown to inhibit tumor growth by binding to ATP-binding cassette transporter and blocking the transport of tumor cells. 5beta-Cholanic acid also inhibits HIV infection by interfering with the virus's ability to bind and enter host cells. 5beta-Cholanic acid may also be used as a treatment for autoimmune diseases such as multiple sclerosis, rheumatoid arthritis, ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease. This compound has been shown to inhibit mitochondrial membrane potential and induce apoptosis in prostate cancer cells in vitro. The mechanism of action for this compound is not well understood but it may be due to its ability to decrease ATP levels in mitochondria or interfere with the production of bile acids from cholesterol by inhibiting hydroxylation reactions.
