Small-molecule modulators of the constitutive androstane receptor.


ABSTRACT: The constitutive androstane receptor (CAR) induces drug-metabolizing enzymes for xenobiotic metabolism.This review covers recent advances in elucidating the biological functions of CAR and its modulation by a growing number of agonists and inhibitors.Extrapolation of animal CAR function to that of humans should be carefully scrutinized, particularly when rodents are used in evaluating the metabolic profile and carcinogenic properties of clinical drugs and environmental chemicals. Continuous efforts are needed to discover novel CAR inhibitors, with extensive understanding of their inhibitory mechanism, species selectivity, and discriminating power against other xenobiotic sensors.
