Comment: Apratastat (TMI-005) is an orally active dual TACE (ADAM17)/MMP13 inhibitor that was developed for the potential treatment of inflammation [2]. TACE = TNF α-converting enzyme, which is a well validated therapeutic target for the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis. Inhibition of MMP13 (a peptidase that preferentially degrades type II collagen and aggrecan) is relevant since this is predicted to prevent the degradation of cartilage in rheumatoid arthritis [1,4].
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 |
Apratastat inhibits TACE activity in vitro and reduces TNF-α production in vivo [2]. Efficacy in a collagen-induced arthritis model led to its evaluation in clinical trial for rheumatoid arthritis. |
