Obeticholic acid is a potent and selective farnesoid X receptor agonist that promotes the flow of bile in the liver. The drug was approved by the USFDA for the treatment of the rare chronic liver disease primary biliary cholangitis (PBC) in combination with ursodeoxycholic acid (UDCA) in adults with inadequate response to UDCA or as a single agent therapy in adults unable to tolerate UDCA. Obeticholic acid was discovered at the Università de Perugia and developed by Intercept Pharmaceuticals. Obeticholic acid has also been granted orphan drug designation for the treatment of primary sclerosing cholangitis and primary biliary cirrhosis and has received breakthrough therapy designation for the treatment of patients with nonalcohol steatohepatitis (NASH) with liver fibrosis.
Obeticholic acid is a semi-synthetic bile acid analogue and acts as a farnesoid-X receptor (FXR) agonist. It is used for the treatment of primary biliary cholangitis. It is also under investigation for the treatment of other liver diseases,primary biliary cirrhosis, bile acid diarrhea and related disorders. Study has shown that it also has potential for treating nonalcoholicsteatohepatitis (NASH), and portal hypertension. Obeticholic acid takes effect through acting s the agonist of the farnesoid X receptor (FXR), which is the regulator of bile and cholesterol metabolism in the liver.
