A variety of unnatural bile acid derivatives (9a-9f) was synthesized and used to examine the specificity with which the sea lamprey (Petromyzon marinus) olfactory system detects these compounds. These compounds are analogs of petromyzonol sulfate (PS, 1), a component of the sea lamprey migratory pheromone. Both the stereochemical configuration at C5 (i.e., 5α vs. 5β) and the extent and sites of oxygenation (hydroxylation or ketonization) of the bile acid derived steroid skeleton were evaluated by screening the compounds for olfactory activity using electro-olfactogram recording. 5β-Petromyzonol sulfate (9a) elicited a considerable olfactory response at sub-nanomolar concentration. In addition, less oxygenated systems (i.e., 9b-9e) elicited olfactory responses, albeit with less potency. The sea lamprey sex pheromone mimic 9f (5β-3-ketopetromyzonol sulfate) was also examined and found to produce a much lower olfactory response. Mixture studies conducted with 9a and PS (1) suggest that stimulation is occurring via similar modes of activation, demonstrating a relative lack of specificity for recognition of the allo-configuration (i.e., 5α) in sea lamprey olfaction. This attribute could facilitate design of pheromone analogs to control this invasive species.

Paragraph 0069-0070, (2020/12/01)
The present application belongs to the field of pharmaceutical chemistry, and relates to a method for preparing a cholic acid compound. Specifically, the present application provides a process for preparing a compound as shown in formula I, comprising subjecting a compound of formula 2 to an oxidization reaction to obtain a compound of formula 3; attaching a trimethylsilyl group to the compound of formula 3 to obtain a compound of formula 4; reacting the compound of formula 4 with acetaldehyde to obtain a compound of formula 5; subjecting the compound of formula 5 to a catalytic hydrogenation reaction to obtain a compound of formula 6; and converting a cyano group of the compound of formula 6 to a carboxyl group to give the compound of formula I. The preparation method has high yield, requires less purification operations, and is suitable for industrial application.
