General description

Sulfoglycolithocholic acid, also known as sulfolithocholylglycine, belongs to the class of compounds referred as glycinated bile acids and derivatives. This compound serves as a valuable asset in both biochemical and metabolomics research due to its significant role in the field of bile acid conjugates and secondary bile acid production. Sulfolithocholylglycine is the 3-O-sulfo derivative of glycolithocholic acid and is synthesized through microbial flora enzymes in the colonic environment. In hepatocytes, bile acids, both primary and secondary, undergo amino acid conjugation at the C-24 carboxylic acid on the side chain, resulting in the predominance of glycine-conjugated forms of bile acids in the bile duct. This compound′s unique properties make it an intriguing subject for research, with potential applications in metabolomics and biochemistry.

Application

Sulfoglycolithocholic acid can be used in biochemical research and metabolomics research. It can be used to study the metabolism of bile acids, the gut microbiome, and the effects of bile acids on various tissues and organs.

Features and Benefits

  • Can be used in Metabolomics and Biochemical research
  • High-quality compound suitable for multiple research applications

We developed a highly sensitive and quantitative method to detect bile acid 3-sulfates in human urine employing liquid chromatography/electrospray ionization-tandem mass spectrometry. This method allows simultaneous analysis of bile acid 3-sulfates, including nonamidated, glycine-, and taurine-conjugated bile acids, cholic acid
