Obeticholic Acid (CAS 4651-67-6) is a synthetic bile acid derivative with molecular formula C24H38O4. It functions as a selective farnesoid X receptor agonist, primarily synthesized via chemical modification of chenodeoxycholic acid.
Contraindicated in patients with complete biliary obstruction. Requires strict temperature control during storage to prevent degradation. Medical supervision is mandatory due to potential hepatotoxicity risks at high doses.
