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.

Licochalcone E is a potential LXRβ agonist.

Icariside E4 is a natural compound derived from Ulmus minor that acts via AMPK phosphorylation and inhibition of MID1IP2 hypolipidation in HepG1 cells.Icariside E4 has anti-injurious, antioxidant, anti-Alzheimer's and anti-inflammatory effects and inhibits SREBP-1c, liver X receptor-α (LXR) and FASN in Icariside E4 is an effective candidate for the treatment of fatty liver disease and has hypolipidemic potential in HepG1 cells.

24-Hydroxycholesterol (Cholest-5-ene-3beta,24-diol) is an oxysterol compound that is an activator of the n-methyl-d-aspartate receptor (NMDA) and the transcription factor LXR, which has been used in the study of cardiogenesis and pancreatic cancer.

LXRβ agonist-2 is a highly potent and β-selective liver X receptor (LXRβ) agonist with an EC50 of 7 nM.
