Dioxins and dioxin‐like compounds (DLCs) are known to cause endocrine disruption in humans and animals. Being lipophilic xenobiotic chemicals, they can be easily absorbed into the biological system from the surrounding environments, thereby causing various health dysfunctions. In the present study, a total of 100 dioxins and DLCs were taken, and their binding pattern was assessed with the xenosensors pregnane X receptor (PXR) and constitutive androstane receptor (CAR) in comparison with the corresponding known inhibitors and a well‐studied endocrine disrupting xenobiotic, bisphenol A (BPA). The nuclear receptors CAR and PXR are known to play a significant role in handling potential toxins by coordinating cellular transport and metabolic functions of the same. Among different endocrine‐disrupting chemicals used in the present study, DLCs (PCDFs and PCBs) elicited better interactions in comparison with the parent dioxin (polychlorinated dibenzodioxins) compounds. On comparing D scores of all the compounds against both the receptors, PCDF 8‐hydroxy‐3,4‐dichlorodibenzofuran (8‐OH‐DCDF) and PCB tetrachlorobenzyltoluene (TCBT) exhibited significant molecular interactions against PXR (−7.633 kcal mol⁻¹) and CAR (−8.389 kcal mol⁻¹), respectively. Predominant interactions were found to be H‐bonding, π‐π stacking, hydrophobic, polar, and van der Waals. By contrast, BPA and some natural ligands tested in this study showed lower binding affinities with these receptors than certain DLCs reported herein, ie, certain DLCs might be more toxic than the proven toxic agent, BPA. Such studies play a pivotal role in the risk assessment of exposure to dioxins and DLCs on human health.
