title: Bile acids. XLIX. Allocholic acid, the major bile acid of Uromastix hardwickii.
abstract: Tauroallocholate is the major bile salt of the lizard, Uromastix hardwickii. Alkaline hydrolysis of bile from 25 gallbladders provided 1.21 g of acidic material, about 90% of which was allocholic acid. Analyses by gas-liquid chromatography, and mass spectrometry verified the presence of almost 10% of deoxycholic acid and smaller amounts of other 5alpha and 5beta-bile acids.
