    Abstract:
    The nature of cholestanetetrols present as the glucurono-conjugates in human gallbladder bile was studied. Glucurono-conjugated bile alcohols were isolated by ion exchange chromatography and, after enzymatic hydrolysis, were fractionated by reversed phase partition chromatography to give a fraction containing tetrahydroxy bile alcohols which was analyzed by gas-liquid chromatography and mass spectrometry. Along with the three previously identified bile alcohols, 5 alpha- and 5 beta-cholestane-3 alpha, 7 alpha, 12 alpha,24-tetrols, and 5 beta-cholestane-3 alpha, 7 alpha, 12 alpha,26-tetrol, three new cholestanetetrols, possessing two hydroxyl groups in the ring system and two in the side chain, were detected in the tetrahydroxy bile alcohol fraction. These new bile alcohols were identified as 5 beta-cholestane-3 alpha, 7 alpha,24,26-tetrol, 5 beta-cholestane-3 alpha, 7 alpha,25,26-tetrol, and 5 beta-cholestane-3 alpha, 7 alpha,26,27-tetrol by direct comparison of their gas-liquid chromatographic behaviors and mass spectral data with those of authentic standards prepared from chenodeoxycholic acid by partial synthesis.
