'''Hyodeoxycholic acid''', also known as '''3α,6α-Dihydroxy-5β-cholan-24-oic acid''' or '''HDCA''', is a secondary [[bile acid]], one of the metabolic byproducts of [[intestinal bacteria]]. It differs from [[deoxycholic acid]] in that the 6α-[[hydroxyl]] is in the [[:File:Steroid_numberingSteroid numbering.png|12 position]] in the former. The 6α-[[hydroxyl]] group makes HDCA a [[hydrophilic]] acid, a property it shares with [[hyocholic acid]]. HDCA is present in [[mammalian]] species in different proportions. It is the main acid constituent of [[pig|hog]] bile, and for this reason it was used industrially as [[precursor_precursor (chemistry)|precursor]] for steroid synthesis before [[total synthesis]] became practical.
