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. ✖ |

Mechanism Of Action and Pharmacodynamic Effects |
FLT3 is required for the normal development and proliferation of hematopoietic stem cells via activation of the RAS, SRC, and STAT5 pathways [1-2,5]. However, constitutive activity of FLT3 (caused by mutation) is oncogenic [6], leading to uncontrolled hematopoietic stem cell proliferation, and this is found to be the causative mechanism in ~30% of cases of AML [4,7]. FLT3 inhibitors target this abnormal level of pathway activation to reduce hematopoietic stem cell proliferation. |
