n.a., not active; n.m., not modellable; max, maximal activity of the chemicals obtained at 10 µM except for compounds that were not tested above 3 µM because of toxicity or non-specificity*; min, minimal activity of the chemicals obtained at 10 µM except for compounds that were not tested above 3 µM because of toxicity or non-specificity*.

Maximal activities of the chemicals obtained at 10 µM are expressed as a percentage of the maximal induced by 3 µM SR 12813 and 1 µM clotrimazole for HG5LN-hPXR and HG5LN-zfPXR, respectively. Antagonism assays were performed in coexposure with 0.3 µM SR 12813 in HG5LN-hPXR cells and 0.03 µM clotrimazole in HG5LN-zfPXR cells. Minimal activities of the chemicals obtained at 10 µM are expressed as a percentage of the maximal induced by 3 µM SR 12813 and 1 µM clotrimazole for HG5LN-hPXR and HG5LN-zfPXR, respectively.
