Comment: Phenylbutazone was historically used as a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID). Although no longer approved for use in humans, this compound is widely used in animals to reduce muscular damage and inflammation. More recently, phenylbutazone, or 'bute', found notoriety as an illegal contaminant found in some meat samples tested in the European horse meat scandal of 2013. The UK Foods Standards Agency issued this statement regarding bute contamination.
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. ✖ |
