title: Synthesis and structure of 26 (or 27)-nor-5 beta-cholestane-3 alpha,7 alpha,12 alpha,24S,25 xi-pentol isolated from the urine and feces of a patient with sitosterolemia and xanthomatosis.
abstract: The urine and feces of a patient with the rare inherited lipid storage disease, sitosterolemia and xanthomatosis, were analyzed. Substantial quantities of C26-bile alcohol, 26 (or 27)-nor-5 beta-cholestane-3 alpha,7 alpha,12 alpha,24S,25 xi-pentol along with 5 beta-cholestane-3 alpha,7 alpha,12 alpha,24-tetrol, 5 beta-cholestane-3 alpha,7 alpha,12 alpha,25-tetrol, 5 beta-cholestane-3 alpha,7 alpha,12 alpha,24R,25-pentol, and 5 beta-cholestane-3 alpha,7 alpha,12 alpha,25,26-pentol were found. The structure of the C26-bile alcohol was confirmed by direct comparison (gas-liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry and thin-layer chromatography) with a standard sample synthesized from cholic acid. The configurational assignment at C-24 was determined by lanthanide-induced circular dichroism Cotton effect measurements. The increased excretion of these C26- and C27-bile alcohols suggests an abnormality of bile acid biosynthesis in this disease.
