![]() 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. ✖ |

Mechanism Of Action and Pharmacodynamic Effects ![]() |
This drug antagonises activity of the dopamine D2-like receptors and serotonin 5-HT2A and 5-HT7 receptors [1]. It also has partial agonist activity at the 5-HT1A receptor [1]. There is no measurable binding to histamine H1 and muscarinic acetylcholine receptors. The overall drug-induced effect is anxiolytic- and antidepressant-like in nature. Lurasidone activity at hippocampal 5-HT7 receptors may deliver procognitive benefits in schizophrenia patients [1]. |
