Synonyms: A-127
Compound class:
Synthetic organic
Comment: Compound A127 is an invention covered by patent WO2013110309 [2]. The compound is reported as an inhibitor of the serine kinase GCN2 (gene symbol EIF2AK4) [1], a kinase involved in the regulation of protein synthesis via phosphorylation of the alpha subunit of eukaryotic translation initiation factor-2 (EIF2α) in response to glucose deprivation. The GCN2-EIF2α-ATF4 pathway is essential for maintaining metabolic homeostasis in tumour cells [3]. Components of this pathway, such as GCN2, are therefore novel targets for the development of anticancer therapeutics.
![]() 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. ✖ |
