Abstract:Background and purpose: Based on the mimicry of microbial metabolites, functionalized indoles were demonstrated as the ligands and agonists of the pregnane xenobiotic receptor. The lead indole, FKK6, displayed pregnane xenobiotic receptor-dependent protective effects in DSS induced colitis in mice and in vitro cytokine-treated intestinal organoid cultures. Here, we performed the initial in vitro pharmacological profiling of FKK6. Experimental approach: A complex series of cell-free and cell-based assays were e… Show more
