GtoPdb Ligand ID: 8741

Synonyms: 3,4',5-stilbenetriol | 3,5,4'-trihydroxystilbene | trans-resveratrol
PDB Ligand Immunopharmacology Ligand
Compound class: Natural product
Comment: Resveratrol is a natural product found in the skins of grapes and some other berries used predominantly as an antioxidant dietery supplement [9,15,17]. The compound exists as a mixture of trans- (shown here) and cis- (PubChem CID 1548910) conformations. Resveratrol has been investigated for its various roles in complex biological processes [2,5,7,12,14,20,23]. It has some activity as a cyclooxygenase inhibitor/antiinflammatory agent.

Ligand Activity Visualisation Charts

These 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.

2D Structure

An image of the ligand's 2D structure. For small molecules with SMILES these are drawn using the NCI/CADD Chemical Identifier Resolver. Click on the image to access the chemical structure search tool with the ligand pre-loaded in the structure editor. For other types of ligands, e.g. longer nucleotides and peptides, a manually drawn representation of the molecule may be provided.

Physico-chemical Properties

Calculated molecular properties are available for small molecules and natural products (not peptides). Properties were generated using the Chemistry Development Kit (CDK) (Willighagen EL et al. Journal of Cheminformatics vol. 9:33. 2017, doi:10.1186/s13321-017-0220-4; https://cdk.github.io/). All properties were selected to enable the prediction of the Lipinski Rule-of-Five profile or ‘druglikeness’ for each ligand. For more info on each category see the help pages.

SMILES / InChI / InChIKey

SMILES (Simplified Molecular Input Line Entry Specification) A specification for unambiguously describing the structure of chemical molecules using short ASCII strings. Canonical SMILES specify a unique representation of the 2D structure without chiral or isotopic specifications. Isomeric SMILES include chiral specification and isotopes.

Standard InChI (IUPAC International Chemical Identifier) and InChIKey InChI is a non-proprietary, standard, textual identifier for chemical substances designed to facilitate linking of information and database searching. An InChIKey is a simplified version of a full InChI, designed for easier web searching.

Mechanism Of Action and Pharmacodynamic Effects Click here for help
Resveratrol is believed to be anti-atherogenic, by promoting apoA-1 and HDL-mediated efflux in addition to regulating the expression of proteins important for cholesterol transport [21]. These actions of resveratrol appear to involve PPARγ and α2A-adrenoceptor pathways. Resveratrol is also reported to protect lung epithelial cells [10] and coronary arterial endothelial cells [19] from oxidative damage via a Nrf2 (nuclear factor (erythroid-derived 2)-like 2; NFE2L2)-dependent mechanism.
