Abstract

The biliary bile salts of the medaka, the Japanese rice fish ( Oryzias latipes ) were isolated and identified. Only bile acids were present, and all were N -acyl amidated with taurine. Three bile acids, constituting 98% of total bile acids, were isolated by chromatography and their structure inferred from their properties compared to those of synthetic standards when analyzed by liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry. The dominant bile acid was the 25 R -epimer (82%) of 3α,7α,12α-trihydroxy-5β-cholestan-27-oic acid. The 25 S -epimer was also present (11%), as was cholic acid (5%). Complete 1 H and 13 C NMR signal assignments of the C-25 epimers were made by using a combination of several 1D- and 2D-NMR techniques. The 1 H and 13 C NMR chemical shifts and spectral patterns of the hydrogen and carbon atoms, being close to the asymmetric centered at C-25, provided confirmatory evidence in that they distinguished the two epimeric diastereomers. The medaka is the first fish species identified as having C 27 biliary bile acids as dominant its major bile salts.
