Lithocholic acid 3-sulfate disodium salt is a sulfated derivative of the bile acid lithocholic acid, featuring a 5ฮฒ-cholan-24-oic acid backbone with hydroxyl groups at C3 and C12. The sulfate ester at the C3 hydroxyl forms a disodium salt, introducing two sodium counterions to neutralize the anionic sulfate. This compound represents a direct sulfation byproduct of lithocholic acid during metabolic or synthetic processes, characterized by its enhanced hydrophilicity and altered ionization state. It serves as an HPLC reference standard for quantifying sulfation impurities in lithocholic acid-based pharmaceutical formulations.
