![]() 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. ✖ |

Bioactivity Comments |
EPZ015666 shows anti-tumour effects in preclinical in vitro and in vivo studies. EPZ015666 demonstrates dose-dependent inhibition of intracellular symmetric arginine di-methylation of SmD3, a PRMT5 substrate involved in RNA processing. Pending publication of a peer reviewed article, data presented here was taken from Epizyme's poster 'Identification of a First-In-Class PRMT5 Inhibitor with Potent in Vitro and In Vivo Activity in Preclinical Models of Mantle Cell Lymphoma' presented at the 56th annual meeting of the American Society of Hematology (ASH) in San Francisco (2014). This poster reports that EPZ015666 is >20,000-fold selective for PRMT5 compared to other protein methyltransferases (PMTs) tested. Patent WO2014100719 [5] provides a binned biochemical IC50 of < 100nM for this compound (compound 166 in the patent document). |
