ABSTRACT Efavirenz induces and inhibits multiple drug‐metabolizing enzymes, contributing to significant drug–drug interactions. This study quantified the impact of multiple doses of efavirenz on CYP3A activity via midazolam metabolism using a population pharmacokinetic approach.

The Concise Guide to PHARMACOLOGY 2025/26: Nuclear hormone receptors
The Concise Guide to Pharmacology 2025/26 marks the seventh edition in this series of biennial publications in the British Journal of Pharmacology. Presented in landscape format, the guide provides a comparative overview of the pharmacology of drug target families. The concise nature of the Concise Guide refers to the style of presentation, being clear,

Atypical functions of xenobiotic receptors in lipid and glucose metabolism
Xenobiotic receptors are traditionally defined as xenobiotic chemical-sensing receptors, the activation of which transcriptionally regulates the expression of enzymes and transporters involved in the metabolism and disposition of xenobiotics.

Investigation of hepatocyte signaling pathways in chronic kidney disease : clinical and experimental studies [PDF]
Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is defined as a loss of renal function from any cause and lasting for more than three months. The CKD phenotype is similar across multiple etiologies, suggesting that renal damage itself is a dominant factor. Thus, regardless

Characterization of DNA Complexes Formed by the Nuclear Receptor Constitutive Androstane Receptor [PDF]
The nuclear receptor constitutive androstane receptor (CAR) acts as a xenobiotic sensor and regulates the expression of enzymes, such as several cytochromes P450s and the UDP-glucuronosyltransferase (UGT) type 1A1. CAR binds as a heterodimer with the retinoid X receptor (RXR) to specific DNA sites, called response elements (REs).

Use of quercetin in animal feed : effects on the P-gp expression and pharmacokinetics of orally administrated enrofloxacin in chicken [PDF]
Modulation of P-glycoprotein (P-gp, encoded by Mdr1) by xenobiotics plays central role in pharmacokinetics of various drugs. Quercetin has a potential to modulate P-gp in rodents, however, its effects on P-gp modulation in chicken are still unclear ...

The Nrf2 Activator Oltipraz Also Activates the Constitutive Androstane Receptor [PDF]
Oltipraz (OPZ) is a well known inducer of NAD(P)H:quinone oxidoreductase (NQO1) along with other enzymes that comprise the nuclear factor E2-related factor 2 (Nrf2) battery of detoxification genes. However, OPZ treatment also induces expression of CYP2B, a gene regulated by the constitutive androstane receptor (CAR).
