Structure-Based and Knowledge-Informed Design of B-Raf Inhibitors Devoid of Deleterious PXR Binding

Melanie Schneider et al.

Summary: By determining the crystal structure of dabrafenib bound to PXR and analyzing its mode of binding to both PXR and its primary target, B-Raf-V600E, new compounds with nanomolar activity against B-Raf and no detectable affinity for PXR were derived. The crystal structure of B-Raf in complex with the lead compound revealed a subdomain swapping of the activation loop with potentially important functional implications for prolonged inhibition of B-Raf-V600E.

Molecular basis of crosstalk in nuclear receptors: heterodimerization between PXR and CAR and the implication in gene regulation

Monicah N. Bwayi et al.

Summary: The interactions between nuclear receptors can fundamentally change our understanding of their biology. In this study, the molecular basis of crosstalk between the pregnane X receptor (PXR) and constitutive androstane receptor (CAR) is revealed, demonstrating the formation of a novel heterodimer and mutual inhibition. These findings not only change the perceived functional relationship between PXR and CAR, but also provide new perspectives for elucidating their role and designing approaches to regulate them.

Mutation of a single amino acid of pregnane X receptor switches an antagonist to agonist by altering AF-2 helix positioning

Andrew D. Huber et al.

Summary: This study found that mutating a single residue in the PXR receptor can convert the antagonist SPA70 into an agonist. Molecular dynamics simulations revealed that in certain cases, the action of SPA70 is similar to that of agonists, further elucidating the relationship between the structure and activity of the PXR receptor.

The Interface between Cell Signaling Pathways and Pregnane X Receptor

Robert S. Rogers et al.

Summary: Pregnane X receptor (PXR) is highly expressed in the enterohepatic system and regulates the expression of genes encoding key drug metabolizing enzymes and drug transporter proteins. Activation of PXR increases metabolism and clears drugs and xenobiotics from the body, mediating important drug interactions. PXR activation also transrepresses inflammatory- and nutrient-signaling pathways, connecting these pathways with drug biotransformation pathways. Research on post-translational modifications (PTMs) of PXR is still in its early stages.

Designing Out PXR Activity on Drug Discovery Projects: A Review of Structure-Based Methods, Empirical and Computational Approaches

Adrian Hall et al.

Summary: This perspective emphasizes the importance of reducing PXR activity in drug discovery, and summarizes the use of structural biology to understand molecular interactions and structural modifications for this purpose. The computational approaches for designing new drugs devoid of PXR activation potential are highlighted, and the SAR of empirical design strategies to reduce PXR activity is reviewed.
