ChEBI: A monohydroxy-5beta-cholanic acid with a alpha-hydroxy substituent at position 3. It is a bile acid obtained from chenodeoxycholic acid by bacterial action. | [Biological Activity]
lithocholic acid (lca) is a toxic secondary bile acid, causing intrahepatic cholestasis, which has tumor-promoting activity. | [in vitro]
among 17 kinds of bile acids with respect to inhibition of mammalian dna polymerases, only lca and its derivatives inhibited dna polymerases, while other bile acids did not show inhibitory effect [1]. | [in vivo]
administration of lca and its conjugates to rodents causes intrahepatic cholestasis, which is a pathogenic state characterized by decreased bile flow and the accumulation of bile constituents in the liver and blood [2]. | [storage]
Store at 4°C | [Purification Methods]
Lithocholic acid can be purified by conversion to the rather insoluble Na or K salt by addition of the equivalent amount of aqueous NaOH or KOH, filtering off the alkali salt, washing it with ice cold H2O, dissolving it in the least volume of boiling H2O, acidifying with the dilute HCl (slight excess), filtering off the acid, washing with cold H2O and drying it thoroughly in a vacuum. Recrystallise it from Me2CO, EtOH or acetic acid. The methyl ester crystallises from MeOH, with 0.5 mol of MeOH, and has m 92-93o, [] D 25 +34o (MeOH). It has also been purified by recrystallisation from pet ether (b 40-60o) and, after chromatography on Al2O3 in pet ether, gave a labile form m 92-93o which is transformed to the stable form m 125-126o after standing for 2days in a vacuum desiccator.
