Synonyms: thiamet G
Compound class:
Synthetic organic
Comment: Thiamet-G is a O-GlcNAcase inhibitor and is widely used as a pharmacological tool to investigate the role of O-GlcNAcase (and its potential for modulation) in tau-related dementias [2]. It has been used as a lead scaffold for the development of O-GlcNAcase inhibitors that are optimised for clinical utility, such as MK-8719 [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. ✖ |

Bioactivity Comments |
Although thiamet-G decreases phosphorylation of tau in rat CNS tissues, it exhibits low or slow membrane penetration and its CNS exposure level is unfavourable for a clinical drug-like molecule. |
