Comment: Adriforant (ZPL-3893787) was a clinical stage immunomodulatory compound being developed by Ziarco Pharma (a Novartis subsidiary). Mechanistically it is a selective histamine H4 receptor antagonist. Novartis announced in their second-quarter financial report of 2020, that they were terminating the adriforant development programme.
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. ✖ |

Summary of Clinical Use |
ZPL-3893787 reached Phase 2 clinical trial for evaluation as an antiinflammatory agent in patients with plaque psoriasis (see NCT02618616), and a Phase 1 in atopic dermatitis has been completed. Although the compound was better than placebo at reducing eczema symptoms such as inflammation in a phase 2a study for moderate-severe atopic dermatitis, it failed to meet an itch-related endpoint. Novartis terminated their ZPL-3893787 programme in mid-2020. |
Mechanism Of Action and Pharmacodynamic Effects |
Allergic inflammation is reported to be augmented via histamine H4 receptor activation [1]. In light of this H4 receptor antagonists would be expected to inhibit this effect, |
