Synonyms: BIIB-068 | compound 1 [PMID: 32696648]
Compound class:
Synthetic organic
Comment: BIIB068 was designed as a novel, oral Bruton's tyrosine kinase (BTK) inhibitor and is intended for the treatment of autoimmune diseases [1]. Pharmacokinetics of BIIB068 in humans have been determined in a Phase 1 study following a single, ascending oral dose.
![]() 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 |
BTK is involved in the production and sensing of autoreactive antibodies, which makes it an attractive molecular target for autoimmune disease pathology that is driven by autoreactive antibody-Fc receptor signalling and production of proinflammatory mediators by monocytes, and neutrophil NETosis. |
