Pregnane & Xenobiotic Receptor (PXR), one of the members of nuclear receptor superfamily, acts as a ‘master-regulator’ of drug metabolism and disposition machinery (DMD). Activation of PXR enables detoxification and elimination of toxic xenobiotics/endobiotics, and defends the authors’ body against chem. insults. On the contrary, PXR activation also imposes a serious concern for drug-drug interactions (DDIs). Such DDIs could either decrease the efficacy or lead to accumulation of co-administered drugs at toxic level. Therefore, it is desirable that during drug development process the small drug mols. are screened on PXR-platform prior to their clin. trial and prevent late stage failures. In view of this, the authors have selected a group of anti-diabetic drug mols. to examine if the success and potential failure of small mol. modulators can be pre-assessed and judiciously correlated on PXR platform. For this purpose, the authors have examined the PXR activation potential of the selected anti-diabetic drugs. Subsequent to screening of these anti-diabetic drugs, the authors elaborated the study further with rosiglitazone and pioglitazone (thiazolidinediones, TZDs) which are oral anti-diabetic formulations and have been in controversy owing to their association with cardiotoxicity and bladder cancer resp. The authors’ study revealed that some of the selected anti-diabetic drugs possess PXR activation potential, implying that these can up-regulate the expression of CYP3A4, UGT1A1, MDR1 and thereby can be predicted to inflict undesirable consequences.
