Statins are well known lipid lowering agents that inhibit the enzyme 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-CoA (HMG-CoA) reductase. They also activate drug metabolism but their exact receptor-mediated action has not been proven so far. We tested whether atorvastatin and rosuvastatin are direct ligands of

The induction potentials of ligand-activated nuclear receptors on metabolizing enzyme genes are routinely tested for new chemical entities. However, regulations of drug transporter genes by the nuclear receptor ligands are underappreciated, especially in differentiated human hepatocyte cultures. In this study
