Summary: | Highlights ► PXR is an orphan nuclear receptor that is activated by both endobiotics and xenobiotics, including anticancer drugs. ► PXR has been implicated in chemoresistance and in tumor growth, promotion, and metastasis. ► PXR has been proposed as a therapeutic target in treating cancers. ► Identification of novel selective PXR modulators, particularly antagonists, would be beneficial to improve the therapeutic outcomes of PXR expressing cancers. |
