Compound class:
Synthetic organic
Comment: Elenestinib (BLU-263) is a KIT inhibitor that is being developed for potential to treat systemic mastocytosis [1]. It is designed to show selectivity for the gain-of-function mutant KITD816V. Elenestinib has limited ability to cross the blood-brain-barrier (lower penetration capacity than the approved inhibitor avapritinib), so is expected to have a lower risk of central nervous system toxicity.
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 |
Gain-of-function mutant KIT proteins (such as D816V) are known to drives disease pathogenesis in systemic mastocytosis (SM). Inhibition of KIT signalling is a proven therapeutic approach for SM, with the approval of avapritinib in 2020 [1]. |
