1. G.l.c. examination of bile alcohols prepared from the sucker Catostomus commersoni Lacépède (family Catostomidae) showed that although 5α-cyprinol (5α-cholestane-3α,7α,12α,26,27-pentol) was a minor constituent, the principal bile alcohol was an undescribed substance, probably present in the bile as the C-26 sulphate ester, whose i.r., n.m.r. and mass spectra agreed with the structure 5α-cholestane-3α,7α,12α,24,26-pentol. 2. MD studies suggest that this 5α-chimaerol is the 24(+), 25S enantiomer and that 5β-chimaerol (chimaerol) from Chimaera monstrosa bile also has the 24(+), 25S configuration. These findings imply that bile alcohol biosynthesis in suckers and chimaeras includes stereospecific oxidation of cholesterol at C-26. 3. C. commersoni bile acids (present in minor amounts) probably consist largely of 3α,7α,12α-trihydroxy-5α-cholan-24-oic acid (allocholic acid). 4. 5α-Chimaerol sulphate and 5α-cyprinol sulphate are probably biochemically equivalent as bile salts, and can be considered as arising by parallel evolution.

1. Arapaima gigas bile salts were hydrolysed by alkali or cleaved with dioxan–trichloroacetic acid to give cholic acid, arapaimic acid, arapaimol-A and arapaimol-B. 2. I.r., n.m.r. and mass spectroscopy and [α]D measurements indicated that arapaimic acid and arapaimol-A and -B are respectively 2α,3α,7α,12α-tetrahydroxy−5β,25∈-cholestan-26-oic acid, 5β,25R-cholestane-2β,3α,7α,12α,26-pentol and 5β-cholestane-2β,3α,7α,12α,26,27-hexol. 3. Partial synthesis of 2β,3α,7α,12α-tetrahydroxy−5α- and −5β-cholan-24-oic acid and their spectral examination fully confirmed these conclusions. 4. A. gigas bile salts show primitive features in that they comprise alcohol sulphates and a C27 acid; they are also specialized in showing 2β-hydroxylation.

1. Material containing the less polar sulphate previously noticed in hagfish bile salts gave, after dioxan–trichloroacetic acid cleavage, 16-deoxymyxinol [3β,7α,-26(27)-trihydroxy-5α-cholestane]. 2. Anodic coupling of 3β-hydroxy-5β-cholanoic acid and the mixed half esters of dl-methylsuccinic acid, followed by lithium aluminium hydride reduction, yielded 3β,26(27)-dihydroxy-5β-cholestane. 3. 16-Deoxymyxinol, the third known bile alcohol having the 3β-hydroxy-5α-hydrogen configuration, poses again the question of how the 3β-hydroxyl group of cholesterol can be ‘retained’ in biosynthesis of primitive bile salts.
