![]() 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 ![]() |
FTIs inhibit the C-terminal prenylation of many proteins involved in signal transduction, but are being investigated mainly as inhibitors of deregulated RAS activity in transformed cells. Blocking prenylation of RAS oncogenic proteins prevents their correct membrane tethering, and thereby effects reduced RAS signalling activity and increased cancer cell apoptosis. However, the promise of FTIs has not been bourne out in clinical trials [1], perhaps due to redundancy in the system which sees geranylgeranyltransferase taking over the prenylation process, when farnesyltransferase is inhibited. |
