5β-Cholanic acid-3,6-dione

Lithocholic acid Analogue

5β-Cholanic acid-3,6-dione serves as an analogue of lithocholic acid, specifically functioning as a negative control by not activating the Vitamin D receptor (VDR). Its unique structure allows researchers to investigate the relationships between lithocholic acid derivatives and VDR without the confounding effects of receptor activation. This compound is valuable for studies related to bile acids and their biological implications in metabolic processes.
