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. |
