![]() 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. ✖ |

Immunopharmacology Comments |
Inhibiting IDO1 helps restore immune surveillance and immune cell-directed killing of tumour cells [2], making IDO1 a tractable immunotherapy drug target. However, despite promising preclinical findingds and positive clinical results vis a vis safety of compounds such as epacadostat, therapeutic efficacy has not yet been established. |
