Lithocholic acid, also known as 3α-hydroxy-5β-cholan-24-oic acid or LCA, is a bile acid that acts as a detergent to solubilize fats for absorption. Bacterial action in the colon produces LCA from chenodeoxycholic acid by reduction of the hydroxyl functional group at carbon-7 in the "B" ring of the steroid framework.

It has been implicated in human and experimental animal carcinogenesis.[2][3]

Dietary fiber can bind to lithocholic acid and aid in its excretion in stool;[4] as such, fiber can protect against colon cancer.

LCA (and LCA acetate and LCA propionate) can activate the vitamin D receptor without raising calcium levels as much as vitamin D itself.[5]

LCA binds with 20 μM affinity to the human membrane enzyme NAPE-PLD, enhancing dimer assembly and enabling catalysis. NAPE-PLD catalyzes the release of anandamide and other N-acylethanolamines (NAE) from the membrane precursor N-acylphosphatidylethanolamine (NAPE). NAPE-PLD facilitates crosstalk between bile acid signals and lipid amide signals.[6][7][8]

LCA has been reported to have anti-aging effects in fruit flies, nematodes, and mice.[9][10]
