Isodeoxycholic Acid
Isodeoxycholic acid is a bacterially derived epimer of deoxycholic acid with attenuated detergent and antimicrobial properties. It inhibits C. difficile spore germination and reduces toxin cytotoxicity in vitro, and its plasma levels are altered in diet-induced obesity models, supporting research in gut microbiology and metabolic disease.
