Comment: Cenacitinib is the INN for an anti-inflammatory Janus kinase inhibitor. The chemical structure was obtained from WHO proposed INN list 131 (August 2024). It is one of the compounds in Ventyx Biosciences' patent US20210139486A1 [1], that claims Tyk2 pseudokinase inhibitors, Tyk2 being the fourth member of the Janus kinase family. Targeting the pseudokinase domain is a strategy for the development of allosteric inhibitors that can be more selective than active site inhibitors. We predict that cenacitinib is the INN for Ventyx's clinical lead Tyk2 inhibitor VTX958.
![]() 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. ✖ |
