Gymnestrogenin has a dual LXRα±/α2 antagonistic profile.

AZ-2 is an inducer of ABCA1 and apoE. It enhances ABCA1 activity and decreases P2X7 receptor activity. AZ-2 activates endogenous LXR signaling but shows no direct LXRα or LXRβ agonist activity.

XL041 (BMS-852927) is an agonist selective for LXRβ.

Dendrogenin A (DDA) is a compound acting as a selective liver X receptor (LXR) modulator, cholesterol epoxide hydrolase inhibitor (Ki = 120 nM), and a metabolic product of cholesterol, originating from 5,6α-epoxy cholesterol through histamine conjugation via DDA synthase. This compound is present in non-cancerous human mammary epithelial cells and melanocytes, but absent or minimally present in various breast carcinoma, melanoma cells, and isolated human breast tumor tissues. DDA impedes the activation of LXRβ and LXRα induced by 22(R)-hydroxy cholesterol (IC50s = 76 and 362 nM, respectively), yet it also functions as a partial LXR agonist, boosting the protein levels of Nur77, NOR-1, LC3-I, and LC3-II in B16/F10 murine melanoma cells. It shows a preference for LXRα and LXRβ modulation while displaying selectivity over other receptors including pregnane X receptor (PXR), and various others at a concentration of 2.5 µM. Moreover, DDA enhances LC3-II protein levels in cancer cells and prompts autophagic cell death at specific concentrations. Notably, DDA (0.37 µg/kg) has been shown to diminish tumor growth in melanoma and mammary cancer murine models and promotes cancer cell differentiation both in vitro and in vivo.

AZ-1 is an inducer of ABCA1 and apoE. It enhances ABCA1 activity and decreases P2X7 receptor activity. AZ-1 activates endogenous LXR signaling but shows no direct LXRα or LXRβ agonist activity.

GAC0003A4 is a potent LXR inverse agonist with antitumor activity that inhibits the transcription of LXR proteins.GAC0003A4 degrades LXRβ proteins and inhibits the proliferation of PDAC cells in a dose-dependent manner.GAC0003A4 has been used in the study of advanced pancreatic cancers and other recalcitrant malignancies.

FITC-GW3965, a fluorescence-labeled liver X receptor β (LXRβ) agonist, is derived from GW3965 by substituting its trifluoromethyl group with an amide linkage to FITC. This tracer facilitates the study of LXRβ function [1].

E17110 is an LXRβ agonist. E17110 exhibited a significant activation effect on LXRβ (EC50: 0.72 μmol/L). E17110 also increased the expression of ABCA1 and ABCG1 in RAW264.7 macrophages. E17110 significantly decreased cellular lipid accumulation and promoted cholesterol efflux in RAW264.7 macrophages.
