Dehydrolithocholic acid is a major metabolite of lithocholic acid (LCA, Cay-20253). It is formed from LCA by the cytochrome P450 (CYP) isoform CYP3A4. Dehydrolithocholic acid is an agonist of G protein-coupled bile acid activated receptor 1 (GP-BAR1/TGR5, EC50 = 0.27 µM), vitamin D receptor (VDR, EC50 = 3 µM), and...
