Synthetic organic
Comment: A range of medical conditions, including major depressive disorder and Alzheimer's disease, have been associated with excess levels of the stress hormone cortisol. ABT-384 is a potent and selective inhibitor of 11-beta-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase type 1 (HSD-1) that generates cortisol. It has completed a phase 1 trial [2] but failed a phase II trial for Alzheimer's disease [3]. ChEMBL represents this compound with specified stereochemistry with the entry CHEMBL222670.
![]() 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 |
Ki of 9 nM for human truncated 11beta-HSD1 assessed as inhibition of radiolabeled cortisone to cortisol conversion. Slightly more potent against the mouse enzyme [4]. Two active metabolites have been identified [1]. |
