Synthetic organic
Comment: GSK2881078 is an orally bioavailable, small molecule, nonsteroidal selective androgen receptor modulator (SARM). It was developed by GSK to treat age-related muscle atrophy (loss of skeletal muscle mass, quality, and strength) [1-2].
![]() 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 ![]() |
GSK2881078 produced anabolic effects (increased lean mass) in Phase 1b studies and was well tolerated [2]. It was advenced to Phase 2 clinical evaluation in patients with cachexia related to chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). In mid 2020, GSK made the decision to terminate this development programme, as their trial data did not support progression for COPD. |
