![]() 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 ![]() |
Compound 72 was developed primarily for its potential to modulate the enhanced activity of DYRK1A in Down's syndrome-related Alzheimer's disease. Additional uses covered by the patent include treatment of other neurodegenerative conditions and some cancers (specifically certain solid tumours) [5]. The DYRK1A gene is located within the Down Syndrome (DS) critical region on chromosome 21. Trisomy of chromosome 21 leads to overexpression of DYRK1A and amyloid precursor protein (APP), and this may underlie the Tau and amyloid pathologies associated with early onset Alzheimer's disease in DS [2,4,6-7]. Pharmacological inhibition of DYRK1A activity would aim to modify the course of AD pathogenesis. |
