Quantitative Systems Toxicology Model Predicts Obeticholic Acid-Associated Liver Injury in Metabolic Dysfunction-Associated Steatotic Liver Disease. [PDF]
Obeticholic acid (OCA), a synthetic analog of chenodeoxycholic acid, was approved in 2016 for the treatment of primary biliary cholangitis. Early clinical trials revealed elevated liver biomarkers in healthy subjects receiving supratherapeutic OCA doses (100–250 mg).

Long-Term Safety and Efficacy of Obeticholic Acid in Patients With Primary Biliary Cholangitis: Final Results of the POISE Long-Term Safety Extension. [PDF]
In the POISE open‐label extension, patients with primary biliary cholangitis with inadequate response or intolerance to ursodeoxycholic acid received long‐term obeticholic acid (OCA) treatment. Findings demonstrated a safety profile consistent with the known characteristics of OCA, with no unexpected safety signals, while supporting sustained efficacy ...

Obeticholic Acid and Edaravone Protect Against Cisplatin-Induced Hepatotoxicity Through Modulation of Keap1/Nrf2/ARE, TNF-α/NF-κB, and AKT/GSK-3β Pathways. [PDF]
The graphical abstract explores the possible underlying molecular mechanisms of Obeticholic acid against hepatotoxicity induced by chemotherapy exposure. ABSTRACT Hepatotoxicity is one of the most crucial side effects of chemotherapy administration. Obeticholic acid (OCA) is a semisynthetic bile acid and farnesoid X receptor (FXR) agonist derived from ...
