Lithocholic acid

Overview

Lithocholic acid is a secondary bile acid with a hydrophobic steroidal skeleton and a single hydroxyl group, giving it distinctive amphiphilic properties. It is often studied for its effects on bile salt micelles, cholesterol solubilization, and membrane perturbation. In lipid-related research, lithocholic acid serves as a model compound for evaluating bile acid–lipid interactions and their potential in improving solubilization of poorly soluble molecules.
