![]() 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 |
Inducible NOS is expressed and activated during inflammatory events, and its expression (or overexpression) is considered as an important contributor to the progression of inflammatory diseases [2]. Selective iNOS inhibitors would therefore be expected to reduce inflammation and offer a useful therapy for diseases such as inflammatory arthritis [3]. GW274150 shows analgesic effects in preclinical models of inflammatory and neuropathic pain [5]. |
