Synthetic organic
Comment: SRX246 is an orally bioavailable, selective vasopressin V1A receptor antagonist [3]. Structurally it is a β-lactam derivative with an azetidone ring as its core pharmacophore. In rat studies it is able to cross the blood-brain barrier [2]. In humans SRX246 blocks the actions of intranasal AVP on aggression/fear circuits (in a MRI study) [5].
![]() 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. ✖ |
