Abstract

This paper describes the identification of a new bile alcohol possessing the 5α-cholestane structure that was found in the urine of patients with cerebrotendinous xanthomatosis. The urine samples were extracted with reversed-phase resin, treated with β-glucuronidase, and separated on silica gel and reversed-phase column chromatography. The new bile alcohol isolated was the second component of the urinary bile alcohols and was identified as (23S)-5α-cholestane-3α,7α,12α,23,25-pentol by means of gas-liquid chromatography/mass spectrometry and nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopic studies.
