Structural Insight into the Binding Mode of FXR and GPBAR1 Modulators
In this chapter we provide an exhaustive overview of the binding modes of bile acid (BA) and non-BA ligands to the nuclear farnesoid X receptor (FXR) and the G-protein bile acid receptor 1 (GPBAR1). These two receptors play a key role in many diseases related to lipid and glucose disorders, thus representing promising pharmacological targets. We pay particular attention to the chemical and structural features of the ligand-receptor interaction, providing guidelines to achieve ligands endowed with selective or dual activity towards the receptor and paving the way to future drug design studies
