Comment: Uproleselan (GMI-1271) is a selective, glycomimetic, selectin E antagonist [1]. It prevents leukocyte adhesion to endothelial cells. Uproleselan disrupts leukocyte-mediated endothelial damage [6], a mechanism that has been examined for potential to combat venous thrombosis [3,5]. It is also under investigation for use in cancer as selectin E is involved in cancer cell trafficking [4]. In the tumour microenvironment uproleselan disrupts extravasation and adhesion which are crucial components that contribute to metastasis.
COVID-19: Selectin E is a biomarker for acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), that has pro-inflammatory actions that enhance cytokine release and promote continued influx of neutrophils. This existing evidence had led to inclusion of uproleselan in a clinical trial that is designed to determine if antagonising selectin E can aid recovery in patients with severe COVID-19 pneumonia/ARDS. ![]() 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. ✖ |
