3-Epideoxycholic acid (EDCA), a secondary bile acid and an epimer of deoxycholic acid, serves as a steroidal host compound in the enantioselective purification of (2R,3S)-3-methyl-2-pentanol from its racemates via enclathration. Additionally, decreased fecal levels of EDCA have been observed in pediatric patients with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD).
