The title compound, C27H47NO3, is a (3-hydroxypropyl)amide derivative of naturally occurring enantiopure lithocholic acid (3α-hydroxy-5β-cholan-24-oic acid). The molecule contains four fused rings: three six-membered rings in chair conformations and one five-membered ring in a half-chair form. The two terminal six-membered rings are cis-fused, while other rings are trans-fused. The structure contains an intramolecular O—H⋯O hydrogen bond and a similar hydrogen-bond framework to the corresponding deoxycholic and chenodeoxycholic acid derivatives. Intermolecular O—H⋯O and N—H⋯O interactions are also present in the crystal. This compound seems to have at least two polymorphic forms from a comparison of the X-ray powder pattern simulated from the present structure of the title compound and that previously obtained for the powder sample.
