Elobixibat

Mechanism of Action

Elobixibat functions as a modulator of the ileal sodium/bile acid cotransporter in humans. By targeting this specific transport mechanism, Elobixibat effectively alters the reabsorption of bile acids within the ileum. This modulation leads to an increased flow of bile acids into the colon, which in turn stimulates colonic motility and enhances bowel function. Through this targeted action, Elobixibat offers a novel therapeutic approach for managing certain gastrointestinal conditions, providing an efficient means to regulate bowel movements and alleviate associated symptoms.
