![]() 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 |
Setipiprant (ACT-129968) was developed by Actelion Pharmaceuticals to reduce allergy symptoms via antagonism of PGD2-driven activation of Th2 inflammatory pathways in T cells, basophils and eosinophils [1]. Although the compound was well tolerated in Phase 2 and 3 trials in hayfever patients, it failed to show significant efficacy in Phase 3 to justify further development [2]. |
