Synonyms: MK0616
Compound class:
Synthetic organic
Comment: MK-0616 is an oral, macrocyclic peptide inhibitor of the dyslipidemia drug target proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 9 (PCSK9) [3]. Functionally, MK-0616 binds to PCSK9 and prevents its protein-protein interaction with the low-density lipoprotein receptor. This action ultimately reduces plasma LDL-C concentration. Notably MK-0616 was the first small molecule PCSK9-targeting drug to demonstrate therapeutic efficacy in humans [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. ✖ |
