• Beschreibung: 7b-Hydroxy-4-cholesten-3-one is a naturally occurring bile acid that is involved in the metabolism of cholesterol, fat and vitamin D. It has been shown to be beneficial in the treatment of cerebrotendinous xanthomatosis, which is characterized by an accumulation of cholesterol and fatty acids in the brain and spinal cord. The drug also regulates cell signaling pathways, such as those related to energy metabolism. 7b-Hydroxy-4-cholesten-3-one is synthesized from 7a-hydroxycholesterol in humans, but not other mammals. It is metabolized via oxidation by cytochrome P450 enzymes or conjugation with glucuronic acid.
