Principles of Drug Metabolism
Xenobiotic metabolism, which includes drug metabolism, has become a major pharmacological science with particular relevance to biology, therapeutics and toxicology. Drug metabolism is also of great importance inmedicinal chemistry because it influences in qualitative, quantitative, and kinetic terms the deactivation, activation, detoxification, and toxification of the vast majority of drugs. As...
متن کاملPXR: More Than Just a Master Xenobiotic Receptor.
Pregnane X receptor (PXR) is a nuclear receptor considered to be a master xenobiotic receptor that coordinately regulates the expression of genes encoding drug-metabolizing enzymes and drug transporters to essentially detoxify and eliminate xenobiotics and endotoxins from the body. In the past several years, the function of PXR in the regulation of xenobiotic metabolism has been extensively stu...
متن کاملXenobiotic metabolism, disposition, and regulation by receptors: from biochemical phenomenon to predictors of major toxicities.
To commemorate the 50th anniversary of the Society of Toxicology, this special edition article reviews the history and current scope of xenobiotic metabolism and transport, with special emphasis on the discoveries and impact of selected "xenobiotic receptors." This overall research realm has witnessed dynamic development in the past 50 years, and several of the key milestone events that mark th...
متن کاملThe steroid and xenobiotic receptor (SXR), beyond xenobiotic metabolism
The steroid and xenobiotic receptor (SXR) (also known as pregnane X receptor or PXR) is a nuclear hormone receptor activated by a diverse array of endogenous hormones, dietary steroids, pharmaceutical agents, and xenobiotic compounds. SXR has an enlarged, flexible, hydrophobic ligand binding domain (LBD) which is remarkably divergent across mammalian species and SXR exhibits considerable differ...
متن کاملThe dietary isothiocyanate sulforaphane is an antagonist of the human steroid and xenobiotic nuclear receptor.
Sulforaphane (SFN) is a biologically active phytochemical found abundantly in broccoli. SFN has been promoted as a putative chemopreventive agent to reduce cancer, and most studies have associated its anti-cancer effects with the induction of phase II xenobiotic metabolism enzymes via activation of the Keap1/Nrf2 antioxidant response pathway. Interestingly, SFN can significantly down-regulate c...
