![]() 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. ✖ |

Summary of Clinical Use ![]() |
Tivantinib is being assessed in Phase 3 clinical trials for non-squamous, non-small-cell lung cancer and liver cancer. The lung cancer trials are using combination therapy with the approved EGFR inhibitor, erlotinib. |
Mechanism Of Action and Pharmacodynamic Effects ![]() |
MET and HGF normally function at low levels to modulate many physiologic cellular responses, including embryogenesis, cell proliferation, survival, differentiation, motility, and invasion [1]. The activated proto-oncogene, c-MET is functionally linked with tumorigenesis and metastatic progression [2-3]. Inhibition of c-MET leads to apoptosis and death of cells driven by aberrant c-Met activity. |
