Comment: Compound 12a [PMID: 29031075] is an indomethacin analogue that was rationally designed in order to optimise COX-2 selectivity [1]. Compound 12a has comparable in vitro COX-2 inhibitory activity to indomethacin and celecoxib, but has improved selectivity for COX-2 compared to celecoxib (330-fold selectivity in this study [1]). In contrast, it is > 450-fold selective for COX-2 over COX-1.
![]() 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. ✖ |
