" /> Obeticholic Acid - CISMeF





Preferred Label : Obeticholic Acid;

NCIt synonyms : INT-747;

NCIt definition : An orally bioavailable semi-synthetic bile acid derivative and an agonist of the nuclear bile acid receptor farnesoid X receptor (FXR) that may be used to lower hepatic exposure to bile acids. Upon oral administration, obeticholic acid targets and binds to FXR expressed in the liver and intestine, activating FXR-mediated bile acid, inflammatory, fibrotic, and metabolic pathways. This suppresses the production of bile acid in the hepatocytes and increases bile acid transport out of the hepatocytes, thereby reducing hepatic exposure to bile acids. FXR plays an important role in bile acid homeostasis and is involved in hepatic and intestinal inflammation and liver fibrosis.;
