Common Name3alpha,7alpha-Dihydroxycoprostanic acid
Description3Alpha,7alpha-Dihydroxycoprostanic acid, also known as 3alpha,7alpha-dihydroxy-5beta-cholestanate or 3α,7α-dihydroxy-5β-cholestanate, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as dihydroxy bile acids, alcohols and derivatives. Dihydroxy bile acids, alcohols and derivatives are compounds containing or derived from a bile acid or alcohol, and which bears exactly two carboxylic acid groups. Bile acids are also steroidal amphipathic molecules derived from the catabolism of cholesterol. The distinction between different bile acids is minute, depending only on the presence or absence of hydroxyl groups on positions 3, 7, and 12. 3Alpha,7alpha-Dihydroxycoprostanic acid is a very hydrophobic molecule, practically insoluble (in water), and relatively neutral. 3Alpha,7alpha-Dihydroxycoprostanic acid, with regard to humans, has been found to be associated with the diseases such as inflammatory bowel disease; 3alpha,7alpha-dihydroxycoprostanic acid has also been linked to the inborn metabolic disorder refsum's disease. 3α,7α-Dihydroxycoprostanic acid is a bile acid excreted in small amounts in the urine of healthy subjects (PMID: 864325 ). Bile acids are steroid acids found predominantly in the bile of mammals. The unique detergent properties of bile acids are essential for the digestion and intestinal absorption of hydrophobic nutrients. Bile acids have potent toxic properties (e.G. Membrane disruption) and there are a plethora of mechanisms to limit their accumulation in blood and tissues. Bile acids are physiological detergents that facilitate excretion, absorption, and transport of fats and sterols in the intestine and liver. They exist as anions at physiological pH, and consequently require a carrier for transport across the membranes of the enterohepatic tissues. They modulate bile flow and lipid secretion, are essential for the absorption of dietary fats and vitamins, and have been implicated in the regulation of all the key enzymes involved in cholesterol homeostasis. Bile acids recirculate through the liver, bile ducts, small intestine, and portal vein to form an enterohepatic circuit. 3α,7α-Dihydroxycoprostanic acid is the precursor to chenodeoxycholic acid, a bile acid.
