Maralixibat (Livmarli™) is a potent, apical, sodium‐dependent, bile acid transporter competitive inhibitor with minimal systemic absorption being developed by Mirum Pharmaceuticals for the treatment of rare cholestatic liver diseases including Alagille syndrome (ALGS), progressive familial intrahepatic cholestasis (PFIC) and biliary atresia. Maralixibat received its first approval on 29 September 2021, in the USA, for use in the treatment of cholestatic pruritus in patients with ALGS 1 year of age and older. Maralixibat is also under regulatory review for ALGS in Europe, and clinical development for cholestatic liver disorders including ALGS in patients under 1 year of age, PFIC and biliary atresia is continuing in several other countries. This article summarises the milestones in the development of maralixibat leading to this first approval for ALGS.

Oral
In baby hamster kidney cells, maralixibat was shown to be a potent, competitive, and reversible inhibitor of the uptake of [14C]taurocholate by the ASBT (IC50 0.28±0.03nM). Maralixibat also inhibited [14C]alanine uptake via another cellular sodium-dependent cotransporter; however, the potency was markedly lower (IC50 35,700±3000nM). In transfected Chinese hamster ovary cells, maralixibat at 50uM produced a 5% inhibition of liver sodium taurocholate cotransporting polypeptide activity.
