What is Hyodeoxycholic acid?

Plain description, key identifiers and synonyms

Hyodeoxycholic acid is a member of the class of 5beta-cholanic acids that is (5beta)-cholan-24-oic acid substituted by alpha-hydroxy groups at positions 3 and 6. It is a bioactive compound extracted from Calculus bovis. It has a role as a mouse metabolite and a human metabolite. It is a C24-steroid, a bile acid, a member of 5beta-cholanic acids and a 6alpha,20xi-murideoxycholic acid. It is functionally related to a cholic acid. It is a conjugate acid of a hyodeoxycholate.
