Obeticholic Acid (CAS 474-25-9) is a synthetic bile acid derivative used as a FXR agonist. Its molecular formula is C24H36O5. The core process involves semi-synthesis from chenodeoxycholic acid derivatives via selective oxidation and functionalization to enhance receptor affinity.
Contraindicated in complete biliary obstruction. Requires strict monitoring of liver enzymes and serum lipids. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight in sealed containers to prevent hydrolysis or degradation.
