Definition
ChEBI: 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.
General Description
Hyodeoxycholic acid is a naturally occurring secondary bile acid. It is produced by the gut flora in the small intestine. Hyodeoxycholic acid is obtained from chenodeoxycholic acid during enterohepatic circulation of bile in rats.
Purification Methods
Crystallise -hyodeoxycholic acid from EtOAc or Me2CO. The K salt separates in needles from an alcoholic solution of the acid when an equivalent of KOMe is added (see lithocholic acid).
