The pregnane X receptor (PXR; NR1I2) is an important nuclear receptor whose main function is to regulate enzymes within drug metabolism. The main drug metabolizing enzyme regulated by PXR, cytochrome P450 (CYP) 3A4, accounts for the metabolism of nearly 50% of all marketed drugs. Recently, PXR has also been identified as playing a role in energy homeostasis, immune response, and cancer. Due to its interaction with these important roles, alongside its drug-drug interaction function, it is imperative to identify compounds which can modulate PXR. In this study, we screened the Tox21 10,000 compound collection to identify hPXR agonists using a stable hPXR-Luc HepG2 cell line. A pharmacological study in the presence of a PXR antagonist was performed to confirm the activity of the chosen potential hPXR agonists in the same cells. Finally, metabolically competent cell lines - HepaRG and HepaRG-PXR-Knockout (KO) - were used to further confirm the potential PXR activators. We identified a group of structural clusters and singleton compounds which included potentially novel hPXR agonists. Of the 21 selected compounds, 11 potential PXR activators significantly induced CYP3A4 mRNA expression in HepaRG cells. All of these compounds lost their induction when treating HepaRG-PXR-KO cells, confirming their PXR activation. Etomidoline presented as a potentially selective agonist of PXR. In conclusion, the current study has identified 11 compounds as potentially novel or not well-characterized PXR activators. These compounds should further be studied for their potential effects on drug metabolism and drug-drug interactions due to the immense implications of being a PXR agonist.
