lumacaftor is an approved drug (EMA & FDA (2015))
Compound class:
Synthetic organic
Comment: Lumacaftor is termed a cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) corrector, acting to reduce mis-folding of the defective F508del mutant CFTR protein, in comparison to ivacaftor which is termed a CFTR potentiator drug. The F508del mutation is the most common cause of cystic fibrosis and accounts for approximately 60% of CF patients in Europe. Cryo-electron microscopy of CFTR-lumacaftor complexes provided insight into how the correctors operate at the molecular level, with the findings published in early 2022 by Fiedorczuk and Chen [1].
![]() 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. ✖![]() View more information in the IUPHAR Pharmacology Education Project: lumacaftor |
