Synthetic organic
Comment: Nizubaglustat (AZ-3102) is an azosugar (formerly called iminosugars). It is orally bioavailable and can cross the blood-brain barrier. Mechanistically it acts as an inhibitor of lysosomal and non-lysosomal enzymes that regulate ceramide turnover [1]. This approach is proposed for disease-modifying potential in the treatment of GM1 or GM2 gangliosidoses (neurodegenerative lysosomal storage diseases), and is exemplified by the approval of miglustat to treat Gaucher disease.
![]() 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. ✖ |
