pralatrexate is an approved drug (FDA (2009))
Compound class:
Synthetic organic
Comment: Inhibits dihydrofolate reductase, GAR transformylase and thymidylate synthase. The INN document specifies that pralatrexate is a racemic mixture of two epimers. These epimers are represented by the PubChem entries CID 23230419 and CID 11155808. We do not specify stereochemistry at the carbon atom which determines the two epimers, therefore our image represents the mixture.
SARS-CoV-2 and COVID-19: Pralatrexate has been identified as an inhibitor of the viral RNA-dependent RNA polymerase (RdRp; nsp12) from SARS-CoV-2 [2]. This translates to inhibition of SARS-CoV-2 replication in vitro (EC50 8 nM). Structural anaylsis suggests that the interaction points between pralatrexate and RdRp are distinct from those between remdesivir and RdRp. 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. ✖ |
