Agonist Comments
Some environmental xenobiotics (e.g. polychlorinated biphenyls or PCBs, 1,1-dichloro-2,2-bis (p-chlorophenyl)ethylene)) [26,35], and pesticides (e.g. transnonachlor and chlordane) [26] have also been shown to activate PXR.

Antagonist Comments
The notion that Ecteinascidin 743 (ET-743) as a PXR antagonist is controversial. It was thought the inhibitory effect may result from the cytotoxicity of this potent antineoplastic agent.
Immunopharmacology Comments
PXR is validated target for immune and inflammatory diseases. Antibacterial-independent PXR-mediated efficacy of rifaximin in the treament of irritable bowel syndrome (IBS; FDA approved in 2015), has confirmed PXR as an IBS molecular target. Selective PXR ligands are being actively pursued, as tools to fully investigate the therapeutic relevance of the receptor.
DNA Binding Click here for help
Structure:  Heterodimer, RXR partner
HRE core sequence:  AGGTCA
Response element:  DR3, Other - see comments
DNA Binding Comments
The PXR forms a heterodimer with RXR, a requirement for binding and activation. The heterodimers formed between PXR and RXR can interact with DR-3 (TGAACTn3TGAACT) (3); ER6 (TGAACTn6AGGTCA) ER6 (5) (This ER6 was also termed IR6 in ref #2); DR4 (6, 33); ER8 (7); IR0 (8) or PBRE (9, 31).
