Cholanic acid is the archetypal C24 bile acid skeleton from which all other C24 bile acids can be derived. Of the two common isomers: 5alpha and 5Beta, the last isomer is the most biologically relevant. 5-Beta Cholanic Acid has been studied as a modulator of the gamma-secretase complex as it pertains to Alzheimer's disease; it has also been identified as an inhibitor of the Ephrin type-A receptor 2 that is involved in cancer cell signaling and angiogenesis.

Sample Use Guides

In Vivo Use Guide

C14 labeled cholanic acid sodium salt was administered intraperitoneally at a dose of 0.7 mg (1.54 x 10^6 d.p.m. per mg) to rats with bile fistulas, and rats with ligated bile ducts. The excreta was monitored for C14 labeled metabolites.

Route of Administration: Intraperitoneal

In Vitro Use Guide

PC3 human prostate adenocarcinoma cells were grown in Ham F12 media. 5B-cholanic acid was stocked as 5 mM solution in DMSO and tested in a 96 well ELISA displacement assay starting at 50 microM.
