Comment: Velsecorat (AZD7594) is a novel non-steroidal modulator of inflammation [2]. Functionally it is a selective glucocorticoid receptor modulator (SGRM) delivered by inhalation, that was being developed for asthma and COPD [2]. Stereoisomers with 3S and 3R configuration at the bond with the tetrahydrofuran group are claimed in patent US8916600 (Examples 5 and 6 respectively) [1]. AZD7594 is identified as the 1R,2S,3′R stereoisomer in [2].
![]() 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. ✖ |

Immunopharmacology Comments |
AZD7594 has no effect on other hormone receptors of the 3-Ketosteroid receptor family, or on ERα or ERβ. Its high degree of selectivity was predicted to enhance clinical safety and differentiated this type of selective GR modulator from conventional steroidal medications like budesonide and fluticasone propionate, which are potent activators of the PR and MR (and of the AR in the case of budesonide) in addition to the GR. |
