Nor-Desoxycholic Acid (3,12-Dihydroxy-nor-cholanic Acid, nordeoxycholic acid)
(3α,5β,12α)-3,12-Dihydroxy-24-norcholan-23-oic Acid; 23-Nordeoxycholic Acid; 24-Nordeoxycholic Acid; 3α,12α-Dihydroxy-24-nor-5β-cholan-23-oic Αcid; Nordeoxycholic Acid

A derivative of Deoxycholic acid (DC); the bile acid nor-DC showed considerable and continuing efflux into the perfusate; this involved mostly the unchanged acid. Nor-DC was not amidated but was metabolized to mostly ester glucuronides and hydroxylated derivatives.
