Metabolite Identification
Common NameMuricholic acid
DescriptionMuricholic acid, also known as muricholate, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as trihydroxy bile acids, alcohols and derivatives. These are prenol lipids structurally characterized by a bile acid or alcohol which bears three hydroxyl groups. Muricholic acid is an extremely weak basic (essentially neutral) compound (based on its pKa).
