Provided herein are methods of treating Alager's Syndrome (ALGS) using an ileumbile acid transport (IBAT) inhibitor (e.g., Ovixabet or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof). These methods may include reducing itch score, serum bile acid concentration, increasing height, normalizing weight, improving sleep, and improving liver parameters.
The present invention discloses a preparation method of obeticholic acid, and the preparation method comprises the following steps: S1. A compound of formula (I) reacts with acetylene under the conditions of a metaliridiumbipyridine catalyst, a base and light to generate a compound of formula (II); S2. The compound of formula (II) is subjected to a reduction reaction to form a compound of formula (III); S3. The hydroxyl group of the compound of formula (III) is protected, and then it reacts with 4-tert-butylaniline to generate a compound of formula (IV); S4. The compound of formula (IV) undergoes a coupling reaction with a compound of formula (V-1) to obtain obeticholic acid; R is bromine or chlorine. The preparation method of the present invention has fewer reaction steps, reduces the use of metal reagents, improves the preparation yield of obeticholic acid, is more efficient and economical, and is environmentally friendly. #imgabs0#
