Isolithocholic acid (ILCA) is the 3β-hydroxy epimer of lithocholic acid (LCA) and is a secondary bile acid produced through the microbial conversion of primary bile acids in the intestine. While ILCA shares a similar chemical structure with LCA, its unique 3β-hydroxy group results in distinct biological activities and metabolic pathways. ILCA is recognized as a potential biomarker for various hepatobiliary and metabolic disorders, making the precise measurement of ILCA and its metabolites essential for disease diagnosis and therapeutic applications.
