Limited chemical structural diversity found to modulate thyroid hormone receptor in the Tox21 chemical library

Published by U.S. EPA Office of Research and Development (ORD) | U.S. Environmental Protection Agency | Metadata Last Checked: August 02, 2025 | Last Modified: 2019-03-05
The Tox21 chemical library (8,305 unique structures) was screened in a quantitative high-throughput, cell-based reporter gene assay for TR agonist or antagonist activity. Active compounds were further characterized using additional orthogonal assays, including mammalian one-hybrid assays, coactivator recruitment assays, and a high-throughput, fluorescent imaging, nuclear receptor translocation assay. Results for the library are available at https://tripod.nih.gov/tox21/samples. This dataset is associated with the following publication: Paul-Friedman, K., M. Martin, K. Crofton, C. Hsu, S. Sakamuru, J. Zhao, M. Xia, R. Huang, D. Stevreva, V. Soni, L. Varticovski, R. Raziuddin, G. Hager, and K. Houck.
