Obeticholic acid for treatment of NAFLD—A drug in search of a disease

Abstract: Introduction: Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is the hepatic component of the metabolic syndrome. Although the only proven treatments are weight loss, diet, exercise and consumption of coffee, many medications are being investigated for treatment of NAFLD. Aim:To present different aspects of NAFLD as part of the metabolic syndrome and to review some aspects of obeticholic acid (OCA) therapy. Methods:We comment on the REGENERATE trial of OCA for treating NAFLD.Results: This trial (1968 patients with F… Show more

“…Because of the complexity of NAFLD pathophysiology, different severity levels of disease, and the heterogeneity of the patient population, developing a drug for the treatment of NAFLD is challenging [13]. Some anticipated efficient drugs have been failed in the last stages of clinical trials [14]. Current therapeutic approaches to NAFLD include lifestyle changes and diet, associated metabolic disorders, lipidlowering agents, and insulin-sensitizing medications to reduce weight.…”

“…Норурсодезоксихолевая кислота (24-норурсодезоксихолевая кислота -норУДХК)это гомолог урсодезоксихолевой кислоты (УДХК) с укороченной на одну метиленовую группу боковой цепью С23 [53,54]. Благодаря этой структурной особенности норУДХК приобретает ряд дополнительных ценных свойств [8,55].…”

“…Такое холегепатическое шунтирование приводит к усилению выделения желчи, богатой бикарбонатом, и создает для холангиоцитов защитный «бикарбонатный зонтик» (этот эффект позволяет ожидать для препарата позитивного эффекта в лечении первичного склерозирующего холангита) [55]. НорУДХК и ее метаболиты присутствуют в желчи преимущественно в мономерной, а не в мицеллярной форме, что усиливает ее осмотический и холеретический эффект [54,55]. Снижая содержание желчных кислот в гепатоцитах, норУДХК оказывает комплекс противовоспалительных, антипролиферативных и антифибротических эффектов, мощное антихолестатическое действие [16,53,55].…”

“…However, there is no drug specifically for the treatment of NAFLD on the market so far ( Ma et al, 2019 ; Wang et al, 2020 ). Some drugs that regulate metabolism, oxidative stress and anti-fibrosis are still in the clinical stage ( Kumar et al, 2021 ), such as Pioglitazone ( Della Pepa et al, 2021 ), Elafibranor ( Boeckmans et al, 2022 ), Saroglitazar ( Gawrieh et al, 2021 ), Obeticholic acid ( Abenavoli et al, 2018 ; Malnick et al, 2020 ), Selonsertib ( Reimer et al, 2020 ) and Vitamin E ( Perumpail et al, 2018 ) ( Figure 1 ). Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop novel drugs with high efficacy and minimal side effects for the treatment of NAFLD.…”
