Metabolism of bile alcohols in the perfused rabbit liver - C26 bile alcohols.
The metabolism of a C26 bile alcohol (I, 24-nor-5beta-cho-lestane-3alpha, 7alpha,25-triol) was studied in the isolated perfused rabbit liver. The new bile alcohol and bile acid metabolites secreted into the bile were isolated and identified by a combination of TLC, GLC and GLC-MS. The following bile alcohols were found: II, 24-nor-5beta-cholestane-3alpha,7alpha,12alpha,25-tetrol, III, 24-nor-5beta-cholestane-3alpha,7alpha,12alpha,25,26-pentol; IV, 24-nor-5beta-cholest-23-ene-3alpha,7alpha,12alpha-triol; and V, 24-nor-5beta-cholest-23-ene-3alpha,7alpha-diol. In the bile acid fraction, 24-nor-cholic acid and 3alpha,7alpha,12alpha-trihydroxy-24-nor-5beta-cholest-23-en-26-oic acid were present. The perfused nor-triol was not resistant to 12alpha-hydroxylation.
