title: Bile acid and sterol solubilization in 2-hydroxypropyl-beta-cyclodextrin.
abstract: The use of 2-hydroxypropyl-beta-cyclodextrin has made it possible to prepare stable aqueous solutions of cholesterol, 26-hydroxycholesterol, 7 alpha-hydroxycholesterol, and monohydroxy bile acids such as lithocholic and 3 beta-hydroxy-5-cholenoic acids. These solutions are suitable for cell culture studies and for parenteral administration to animals.
