A novel bile alcohol of general formula (I), having an efficacious physiological activity and being specified in the configurations of particularly the 20-, 24- and 25-positions; formula (I) wherein one of the groups R₁ and R₂ represents a group of formula (A) or (B) while the other represents -OH or -H; R₃ and R₄ represent each -CH₂OH, -CH₃ or -CH₂OSO₃Na; or alternatively R₂ and R₃ are combined together to represent -OCH₂-, R₂ and R₄ are combined together to represent -OCH₂-, or R₃ and R₄ are combined together to represent -CH₂OCH₂-; provided that R₃ and R₄ do not represent -CH₃ at the same time and that R₁ represents -OH or -H and R₂ represents the group of formula (A) or (B) when R₃ and R₄ represent -CH₂OH at the same time. A drug containing the bile alcohol, including those wherein R₃ and R₄ in the above formula (I) represent each -H, -CH₂OH, -CH₃ or -CH₂OSO₃Na (except for the case where both R₃ and R₄ represent -H at the same time), and 3α 7α, 12α, 24-tetrahydroxy-5α- or -5β-cholane is efficacious as a cerebral function protective agent, cholagogue, cell activator, microcirculation improver, antiarteriosclerotic agent, antihyperlipemia drug, hepatic function improver, anti-inflammatory drug, antithrombotic drug and hypertensive.
