Abstract
Description
field of invention
[0001] The present invention relates to an α-crystal form of obeticholic acid and a preparation method thereof, and its preparation method for treating biliary atresia, cholestatic liver disease, chronic liver disease, primary biliary cirrhosis, alcoholic fatty liver, non-alcoholic Application in liver disease drugs such as chronic fatty liver disease. In addition, the present invention also provides a pharmaceutical composition containing this specific crystal form of obeticholic acid. Background of the invention
[0002] The chemical name of obeticholic acid (Ⅰ) is: 3α, 7α-dihydroxy-6α-ethyl-5β-cholan-24 acid, also known as: 6α-ethylchenodeoxycholic acid. The CAS registration number of obeticholic acid is: 459789-99-2. Obeticholic acid is a farnesoid X receptor agonist, which indirectly inhibits the gene expression of cytochrome 7A1 (CYP7A1) by activating farnesoid X receptor. Since CYP7A1 is the rate-limiting enzyme of bile acid biosynthesis, obetich...
