![]() 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. ✖ |

Mechanism Of Action and Pharmacodynamic Effects ![]() |
A decrease of soluble amyloid precursor protein alpha (sAPPα) in cerebrospinal fluid has been associated with cognitive decline in aged rats and in AD patients. In vitro and in vivo studies suggested that 5-HT4 receptor agonists reverse this effect, thereby potentially slowing cognitive decline in AD. In healthy human subjects administered a single dose of F-04995274, no significant difference in sAPPα was observed between treatment and placebo groups [2]. |
