Active ingredients in A05AX

Active Ingredient Description
Maralixibat

Maralixibat is a minimally absorbed, reversible, potent, selective inhibitor of the ileal bile acid transporter (IBAT). Maralixibat acts locally in the distal ileum to decrease the reuptake of bile acids and increase the clearance of bile acids through the colon, reducing the concentration of bile acids in the serum.

Odevixibat

Odevixibat is a reversible, potent, selective inhibitor of the ileal bile acid transporter (IBAT). Odevixibat acts locally in the distal ileum to decrease the reuptake of bile acids and increase the clearance of bile acids through the colon, reducing the concentration of bile acids in the serum. The extent of reduction of serum bile acids does not correlate with systemic PK.
