clomiphene is an approved drug (FDA (1967))
Compound class:
Synthetic organic
Comment: Clomiphene is an estrogen receptor alpha modulator, it can act an agonist or antagonist depending on the target tissue. The approved drug clomiphene is a racemic mixture of the two geometric isomers, E and Z clomiphene (also known as enclomiphene and zuclomiphene). Zuclomifene is the more active isomer.
Ligand Activity Visualisation ChartsThese are box plot that provide a unique visualisation, summarising all the activity data for a ligand taken from ChEMBL and GtoPdb across multiple targets and species. Click on a plot to see the median, interquartile range, low and high data points. A value of zero indicates that no data are available. A separate chart is created for each target, and where possible the algorithm tries to merge ChEMBL and GtoPdb targets by matching them on name and UniProt accession, for each available species. However, please note that inconsistency in naming of targets may lead to data for the same target being reported across multiple charts. ✖ |

Bioactivity Comments |
Clomiphene is one of a number of drugs that are cationic amphiphilic in nature, for which anti-SARS-CoV-2 activity has been identified in drug repurposing screens. Tummino et al. (2021; bioRxiv preprint PMID: 33791693 target="_blank") suggest that this antiviral activity is most likely a result of the drug promoting phospholipidosis via disruption of lipid homeostasis. |
