K Shimada, and M Hasegawa, and J Goto, and T Nambara

A method is described for the simultaneous determination of major bile acids by high-performance liquid chromatography without prior hydrolysis. A mixture of bile acids is divided into the free, glyco- and tauro-conjugate groups by thin-layer chromatography. Separation of each group into cholate, ursodeoxycholate, chenodeoxycholate, deoxycholate and lithocholate is attained in two stages on a muBondapak C18 column; first, 0.3% ammonium carbonate-acetonitrile (9:4) is used as a mobile phase for the separation of the last three compounds. Subsequently cholate and ursodeoxycholate are resolved by chromatography in 0.3% ammonium carbonate-acetonitrile (11:4).

D001647	Bile Acids and Salts	Steroid acids and salts. The primary bile acids are derived from cholesterol in the liver and usually conjugated with glycine or taurine. The secondary bile acids are further modified by bacteria in the intestine. They play an important role in the digestion and absorption of fat. They have also been used pharmacologically, especially in the treatment of gallstones.	Bile Acid,Bile Salt,Bile Salts,Bile Acids,Acid, Bile,Acids, Bile,Salt, Bile,Salts, Bile
