Overcoming the Pregnane X Receptor Liability: Rational Design to Eliminate PXR-Mediated CYP Induction

ACS Medicinal Chemistry Letters, 2021
The pregnane X receptor (PXR) regulates expression of proteins responsible for all three phases required for the detoxification mechanism, which include CYP450 enzymes, phase II enzymes, and multidrug efflux pumps. Therefore, PXR is a prominent receptor that is responsible for xenobiotic excretion and drug-drug interactions.

Tunicate pregnane X receptor (PXR) orthologs: Transcript characterization and natural variation

Marine Genomics, 2015
Vertebrate pregnane X receptor (PXR, NR1I2), a ligand-activated nuclear receptor (NR), regulates expression of detoxification genes. Vertebrate PXR orthologs may adaptively evolve to bind deleterious/toxic xenobiotics typically encountered by organisms from their diet.

Pregnane X receptor (PXR) represses osteoblast differentiation through repression of the Hedgehog signaling pathway

Experimental Cell Research, 2022
The pregnane X receptor (PXR, NR1I2) belongs to the nuclear receptor family and functions as a xenobiotic and endobiotic sensor by binding to various molecules through its relatively flexible ligand-binding domain. In addition to these well-known canonical roles, we previously reported that PXR represses osteoblast differentiation.

Lignans, bacteriocides and organochlorine compounds activate the human pregnane X receptor (PXR)

Toxicology and Applied Pharmacology, 2005
The pregnane X receptor (PXR) mediates the induction of enzymes involved in steroid metabolism and xenobiotic detoxification. The receptor is expressed in liver and intestinal tissues and is activated by a wide range of compounds. The ability of a diverse range of dietary compounds to activate PXR-mediated transcription was assayed in HuH7 cells ...

Pregnane X receptor (PXR/NR1I2) gene haplotypes modulate susceptibility to inflammatory bowel disease

Inflammatory Bowel Diseases, 2011
The pregnane X receptor (PXR/NR1I2) is an important regulator of xenobiotic metabolism and intestinal integrity. However, there are controversial studies on the role of PXR/NR1I2 in inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). We therefore initiated the largest analysis to date on PXR/NR1I2 gene variants in IBD patients.Genomic DNA from 2823 individuals of ...

Regulation of Pregnane X Receptor (PXR) Function and UGT1A1 Gene Expression by Posttranslational Modification of PXR Protein

Drug Metabolism and Disposition, 2012
Human UDP-glucuronosyltransferase (UGT) 1A1 is a critical enzyme responsible for detoxification and metabolism of endogenous and exogenous lipophilic compounds such as bilirubin. The present study shows how cyclin-dependent kinase (CDK) inhibitor roscovitine stimulated the expression of UGT1A1 in HepG2 cells.

Unique Transcription Start Sites and Distinct Promoter Regions Differentiate the Pregnane X Receptor (PXR) Isoforms PXR 1 and PXR 2

Drug Metabolism and Disposition, 2008
The pregnane X receptor (PXR) is known as the xenosensing receptor responsible for coordinated regulation of metabolic genes in response to diverse xenobiotic challenges. In particular, the ability of the PXR to regulate CYP3A4, the enzyme capable of metabolizing more than 60% of all pharmaceuticals, defines its metabolic importance. Currently the list

Technical pentabromodiphenyl ether and hexabromocyclododecane as activators of the pregnane-X-receptor (PXR)

Toxicology, 2009
Technical pentabrominated diphenyl ether (pentaBDE mix) is a mixture of polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs) which has been widely used as a flame retardant. Since its ban in several countries it has been replaced by other brominated flame retardants such as hexabromocyclododecane (HBCD).

Development of novel silanol-based human pregnane X receptor (PXR) agonists with improved receptor selectivity

Bioorganic & Medicinal Chemistry, 2018
Pregnane X receptor (PXR) is a ligand-dependent transcription factor that is considered to be a potential therapeutic target for multiple diseases. Herein, we report the development and structure-activity relationship studies of a new series of hPXR agonists.
