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. ✖View more information in the IUPHAR Pharmacology Education Project: glycopyrronium |

Summary of Clinical Use |
Approved as an anticholinergic bronchodilator to relieve the symptoms of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) [4] and asthma [1]. This drug may also be used pre-operatively to reduce salivary tracheobronchial and pharyngeal secretions and to reduce the acidity of gastric contents. An inhalation formuation containing glycopyrrolate and indacaterol (Utibron Neohaler®) was approved by the US FDA in November 2015 for the treatment of COPD. In April 2016, the US FDA approved another fixed-dose inhalation aerosol formulation, glycopyrrolate plus the long-acting β agonist (LABA) formoterol (Bevespi Aerosphere®) for long-term, maintenance treatment of airflow obstruction in patients with COPD, including chronic bronchitis and/or emphysema. In June 2018 the FDA approved glycopyrronium for the topical treatment (administered using a medicated cloth/wipe called Qbrexza®) of primary axillary hyperhidrosis. |
