![]() 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 ![]() |
Pyrotinib is being evaluated in clinical trials for efficacy in HER2-positive solid tumours, including metastatic breast cancer, gastric cancer, or other solid tumours that have no targeted agent as standard of care. Results from a Phase 1 study (NCT01937689) in patients with metastatic breast cancer are reported by Ma et al. (2017), in which encouraging antitumour activity in these patients was detected [2]. Pyrotinib was approved for use in China in 2018, indicated for breast cancer. |
