Ocaliva (obeticholic acid) is a FXR agonist, activating enterocytes and hepatocytes FXRs, thereby reducing toxic levels of bile acids and promoting insulin sensitivity. This results in low risk of lipid deposition into hepatocytes, reducing progression of NASH.
Ocaliva (obeticholic acid) is a FXR agonist, activating enterocytes and hepatocytes FXRs, thereby reducing toxic levels of bile acids and promoting insulin sensitivity. This results in low risk of lipid deposition into hepatocytes, reducing progression of NASH.
USFDA has granted orphan drug designation for the combination of ocaliva (obeticholic acid), a farnesoid X receptor agonist and bezafibrate, a PPAR agonist, for the treatment of individuals with primary biliary cholangitis.
