Synonyms: example 6B [WO2014028600A2] [1]
Compound class:
Synthetic organic
Comment: Compound 25 is an allosteric inhibitor of RORγt [2]. Its pharmacokinetic profile makes it suitable for oral administration. The chemical structure and its use are claimed in Merck's patent WO2014028600A2 [1].
![]() 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 |
RORγt is a master regulator of Th17 cells and affects the production of numerous cytokines (IL-17A, IL-17F, IL-22, IL-26, and GM-CSF). Orthosteric, and more recently, allosteric inhibitors of RORγt are being investigated as alternatives to anti-IL-17 antibody therapeutics (e.g. secukinumab, ixekizumab) for the treatment of autoimmune diseases that are driven by Th17 cytokines. Compound 25 represents a lead molecule with favourable potency and selectivity and pharmacokinetic profiles. |
