BZZ-034
BZZ-034 is an orally active and selective PXR dual agonist with an IC50 of 0.47 μM against human PXR. BZZ-034 binds to the PXR ligand-binding domain, activates PXR-mediated transcription, and upregulates the expression of downstream CYP3A4/Cyp3a11 and Oatp2 target genes. BZZ-034 induces physiological hepatomegaly, centrilobular hepatocellular hypertrophy, and periportal hepatocellular proliferation, and accelerates liver regeneration after partial hepatectomy. BZZ-034 can be used for research on liver regeneration.

CYP3A4 |
In Vitro
BZZ-034 (10 μM) activates hPXR-driven CYP3A4 transcription in HepG2 cells with an EC50 of 1.5 μM and 86% agonist activity at 10 μM; it also induces CYP3A4 mRNA 2.18-fold in HepG2 cells[1].
BZZ-034 (10 μM; 24 h) activates hPXR LBD in HEK293T cells, with an agonistic activity of 130% at 10 μM[1].
BZZ-034 (1-10 μM) induces Cyp3a11 and Oatp2 mRNA by 12.0-fold and 6.84-fold, respectively, in mouse primary hepatocytes[1].
BZZ-034 is rapidly metabolized in human and mouse liver microsomes, with T1/2 of 12.5 min and 1.98 min, respectively[1].

Parmacokinetics
In Vivo
BZZ-034 (50 mg/kg; p.o.; twice daily; 2 days) accelerates liver regeneration in mice undergoing 70% partial hepatectomy (70% PHx), increases the liver/body weight ratio, and promotes regional hepatocyte hypertrophy and proliferation[1].
BZZ-034 (12.5-100 mg/kg; p.o.; twice daily; 2 days) dose-dependently promotes liver regeneration in mice subjected to 70% PHx[1].

Result:Produced dose‑dependent increases in liver size and liver/body weight ratio, yielding 4.2%, 11.9%, 18.0%, and 23.8% elevations at respective doses of 12.5, 25, 50, and 100 mg/kg.
Increased hepatocyte size within the central vein area and the population of Ki67‑positive cells within the portal vein area in a dose‑dependent manner.
Upregulated CYP3A11 protein expression in a dose‑dependent fashion.
