'The hydroxyl groups of bile salts play a major role in determining their physical properties and physiologic behavior. To date, no fluorescent bile salt derivatives have been prepared which permit evaluation of the functional role of the steroid ring. We have prepared five fluorescent cholanoyl derivatives using a dansyl-ethylene diamine ... More
