![]() 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. ✖ |

Summary of Clinical Use ![]() |
Verdiperstat (AZD3241) has completed Phase 2 clinical evaluations in patients with Parkinson's disease (NCT01603069) [3] and advanced multiple system atrophy (MSA). The MSA study (NCT02388295) found no evidence of clinical benefit despite confirmation of a reduction in microglial activation in degenerating brain areas in study subjects [4]. The Parkinson's disease trial found sufficient evidence to support proof of mechanism of AZD3241 and to warrant extended clinical evaluation in Parkinson's patients. |
