The major bile acids present in the gallbladder bile of the common Australian wombat (Vombatus ursinus) were isolated by preparative HPLC and identified by NMR as the taurine N-acyl amidate of chenodeoxycholic acid and 15a-hydroxylithocholic acid (3a,15a-dihydroxy-5ß-cholan-24-oic acid). Taurine conjugated chenodeoxycholic acid constituted 78% of biliary bile acids, and 15a-hydroxylithocholic acid, 11%. Proof of structure of the latter compound was obtained by its synthesis from chenodeoxycholic acid via a 14¬¬¬ intermediate. The synthesis of its C-15 epimer, 15ß-hydroxylithocholic acid (3a,15ß-dihydroxy-5ß-cholan-24-oic acid) is also reported. The taurine conjugate of 15a-hydroxylithocholic acid was synthesized and shown to have chromatographic and spectroscopic properties identical to the compound isolated from bile. It is likely that 15a-hydroxylithocholic acid is synthesized in the wombat hepatocyte by 15a-hydroxylation of lithocholic acid that was formed by bacterial 7a-dehydroxylation of chenodeoxycholic acid in the distal intestine. Thus, the wombat appears to use 15a-hydroxylation as a novel detoxification mechanism for lithocholic acid.
