Agonist Comments
Other oxysterols were also identified as endogenous ligands by Janowski et al., including 20, 22-dihydroxycholesterol [17]. Activity of endogenous LXR agonists is compared in Janowski et al. [16]. Efficacy value for ligand 27-hydroxycholesterol was determined in vitro. Other endogenous agonist include cholic acid [42].

Antagonist Comments
Inverse agonist SR9243 induces interaction between Liver-X receptors and their corepressors, resulting in an inhibition of aerobic glycolysis and lipogenesis [10].
Immunopharmacology Comments
Liver X receptors (LXR) are involved in the regulation of lipid metabolism and inflammatory responses. As such they are novel drug targets for cholesterol homeostasis (hypercholesterolaemia), inflammation, and with potential therapeutic effects in neurodegenerative diseases [47]. Rgenix has a small molecule LXR agonist (RGX-104) in Phase 1 clinical trial as an immuno-oncology therapy (see NCT02922764). Rgenix's preclinical studies showed that RGX-104 reverses myeloid-derived suppressor cell (MDSC)-mediated immune evasion by tumour cells. This effect is produced via LXR agonist-generated depletion of MDSCs in the tumour microenvironment, which releases T cells and other immune cells to detect and destroy the cancerous cells.
