Bilirubin is a linear tetrapyrrole whose conformation is affected by internal hydrogen bonds formed between the carboxyl side chains and dipyrromethenone rings. Structural variations include: constitutional isomerism of the vinyl or carboxyethyl side chains, geometric isomerism of the methene bridge

โฆ Synopsis
The number, position and orientation of nuclear OH substituents profoundly influence the equilibrium solubilities of undissociated bile acids in water. Estimates from several studies range from 5 x lo-' for lithocholic acid to 1.6 x

The hydrophilic-hydrophobic balance of bile salt monomers can be readily quantified by their elution sequence during reverse-phase high-performance liquid chromatography. Such studies have demonstrated that subtle variations in bile salt structure have profound effects on the hydrophilic-hydrophobic
The objective of this study was to determine the extent to which specific bile salt solutions and compendial dissolution media differ in their ability to wet a model surface. Solutions were examined in the concentration range of bile salts found in the gastrointestinal tract and at pH values approxi
The ionization behavior of carboxylic acids including aliphatic chain fatty acids and bile acids in solutions, micelles, membranes and proteins is of considerable biological interest. The 13C nuclear magnetic resonance chemical shift of carboxyl carbon of a variety of acids has been shown to be a li
