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
In healthy adults, after a single oral dose of 1 mg to 500 mg of maraliciba, plasma concentrations below the limit of quantitation (0.25 ng/mL) are unreliable when the dose is below 20 mg, making it impossible to reliably estimate pharmacokinetic parameters. Following a single fasting 30 mg dose, the median Tmax was 0.75, and the mean (standard deviation) Cmax and AUClast were 1.65 (1.10) ng/mL and 3.43 (2.13) ng·h/mL, respectively. Maraliciba is poorly absorbed, and plasma concentrations are often below the limit of quantitation (0.25 ng/mL) even with single or multiple doses of the recommended dose. Following single oral administration of 30, 45, and 100 mg of malariziba liquid formulation in an empty stomach, both AUClast and Cmax increased in a dose-dependent manner, with AUClast and Cmax increasing 4.6-fold and 2.4-fold, respectively, when the dose increased from 30 mg to 100 mg. No drug accumulation was observed after single daily oral administration of up to 100 mg of malariziba in healthy adults. Consumption of a high-fat diet with a single oral dose of malariziba reduced its absorption rate and extent. The AUC and Cmax values of malariziba in a fed state were 64.8% to 85.8% lower than those after a 30 mg oral dose in an empty stomach. The effect of food on systemic exposure to malariziba was clinically insignificant. Fecal excretion is the primary route of elimination. Following a single oral dose of 5 mg of [14C]maralixibat, 73% of the dose was excreted in feces and 0.066% in urine. 94% of fecal excrement contained unchanged maralixibat. Metabolites/Metabolites: No maralixibat metabolites were detected in plasma. Three minor metabolites were identified after oral administration of [14C]maralixibat, accounting for <3% of the total fecal radioactivity associated with maralixibat. The structures of these metabolites have not been reported in the literature. Biological Half-Life: The mean half-life of maralixibat is 1.6 hours. |

| Toxicity/Toxicokinetics |
Hepatotoxicity
In clinical trials of Maralixibat in children with Aragile syndrome, 24% of patients had serum ALT levels exceeding three times the upper limit of normal, and 2% had levels exceeding five times the upper limit of normal. Elevated ALT levels led to dose adjustments, treatment interruptions, or early discontinuation in up to 10% of patients. Serum transaminases in children with Aragile syndrome and other cholestatic liver diseases are typically elevated to 2 to 5 times the upper limit of normal, making it difficult to distinguish between spontaneous fluctuations in enzyme levels caused by the primary disease and the effects of Maralixibat treatment. In most cases, treatment can continue even with elevated serum enzyme levels, at least with a reduced dose. There are currently no reports of clinically significant liver injury with jaundice due to Maralixibat treatment, but the clinical use of this drug is limited. Probability Score: E (Suspected but not confirmed cause of clinically significant liver injury). Use during pregnancy and lactation ◉ Overview of use during lactation There is currently no information regarding the use of malariziba during lactation. Because malariziba is poorly absorbed orally and 90% is bound to plasma proteins, its concentration in breast milk may be very low. If a mother needs to take malariziba, this is not a reason to discontinue breastfeeding. ◉ Effects on breastfed infants As of the revision date, no relevant published information was found. ◉ Effects on lactation and breast milk As of the revision date, no relevant published information was found. Protein binding Malariziba binds to plasma proteins 91% in vitro. |

Pharmacodynamics
Maralixibat is indicated for the treatment of cholestatic pruritus in patients at least 1 year old with Aragile syndrome. Because it requires only once-daily administration, its duration of action is moderate; and its therapeutic index is broad, allowing patients to safely tolerate single doses up to 18 times the normal dose. Patients should be informed of the risks of abnormal liver function, 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.
