Maralixibat (formerly SHP-625; LUM-001; lopixibat; Livmarli) is an ileal bile acid transporter inhibitor approved for treatment of cholestatic pruritus associated with Alagille syndrome. It was approved for medical use in the United States in September 2021.
ADME/Pharmacokinetics |
Absorption, Distribution and Excretion
Following single oral administration of maralixibat in healthy adults at doses ranging from 1 mg to 500 mg, plasma concentrations of maralixibat were below the limit of quantification (0.25 ng/mL) at doses less than 20 mg and PK parameters could not be reliably estimated. Following a single dose administration of 30 mg under fasted conditions, median Tmax was 0.75 and mean (SD) Cmax and AUClast were 1.65 (1.10) ng/ml and 3.43 (2.13) ng·h/mL, respectively. Maralixibat is minimally absorbed and plasma concentrations are often below the limit of quantification (0.25 ng/mL) after single or multiple doses at recommended doses. Following a single oral administration of maralixibat 30, 45, and 100 mg liquid formulation under fasted conditions, AUClast and Cmax increased in a dose-dependent manner with increases of 4.6-and 2.4-fold, respectively, following a 3.3-fold dose increase from 30 to 100 mg. No accumulation of maralixibat was observed following repeated oral administration of maralixibat in healthy adults at doses up to 100 mg once daily. Concomitant administration of a high-fat meal with a single oral dose of maralixibat decreased both the rate and extent of absorption. AUC and Cmax of maralixibat values in the fed state were 64.8% to 85.8% lower relative to oral administration of 30 mg in fasted conditions. The effect of food on the changes of systemic exposures to maralixibat is not clinically significant. Fecal excretion was found to be the major route of elimination. Following a single oral dose of 5 mg 14C-maralixibat, 73% of the dose was excreted in the feces with 0.066% in the urine. 94% of the fecal excretion was as unchanged maralixibat. Metabolism / Metabolites No maralixibat metabolites have been detected in plasma. Three minor metabolites, accounting for <3% of maralixibat-associated fecal radioactivity in total, were identified following oral administration of [14C]maralixibat. The structures of these metabolites have not been defined in the literature. Biological Half-Life The mean half life of maralixibat is 1.6 hours. |

Toxicity/Toxicokinetics |
Hepatotoxicity
In trials of maralixibat in children with Alagille syndrome, serum ALT levels rose to greater than 3 times ULN in 24% of patients and above 5 times ULN in 2%. The ALT elevations led to dose modification, interruption or therapy or early discontinuation in up to 10% of patients. Children with Alagille syndrome and other pediatric cholestatic liver diseases typically have serum aminotransferase elevations in the range of 2 to 5 times ULN, and it is can be difficult to distinguish between spontaneous fluctuations in enzyme levels due to the underlying disease vs effects of maralixibat therapy. In most instances, therapy can be continued despite the serum enzyme elevations, at least at a reduced dosage. There have been no reports of clinically apparent liver injury with jaundice attributed to maralixibat therapy, but it has had limited general clinical use. Likelihood score: E* (suspected but unproven cause of clinically apparent liver injury). Effects During Pregnancy and Lactation ◉ Summary of Use during Lactation No information is available on the use of maralixibat during breastfeeding. Because maralixibat is poorly absorbed orally and 90% bound to plasma proteins, the amount in milk is likely to be low. If maralixibat is required by the mother, it is not a reason to discontinue breastfeeding. ◉ Effects in Breastfed Infants Relevant published information was not found as of the revision date. ◉ Effects on Lactation and Breastmilk Relevant published information was not found as of the revision date. Protein Binding Maralixibat is 91% bound to plasma proteins _in vitro_. |

Pharmacodynamics
Maralixibat is indicated in the treatment of cholestatic pruritus in patients with Alagille syndrome who are at least 1 year old. It has a moderate duration of action as it is given once daily, and a wide therapeutic index as patients have safely tolerated single doses up to 18 times the normal dose. Patients should be counselled regarding the risks of liver test abnormalities, gastrointestinal adverse reactions, and fat-soluble vitamin deficiencies. |

*Note: Please select an appropriate solvent for the preparation of stock solution based on your experiment needs. For most products, DMSO can be used for preparing stock solutions (e.g. 5 mM, 10 mM, or 20 mM concentration); some products with high aqueous solubility may be dissolved in water directly. Solubility information is available at the above Solubility Data section. Once the stock solution is prepared, aliquot it to routine usage volumes and store at -20°C or -80°C. Avoid repeated freeze and thaw cycles.
