Compound class:
Synthetic organic
Comment: The structure shown here is of the active metabolite of clopidogrel, a pro-drug which is activated via 2-oxo-clopidogrel (PubChem CID 56848893) by cytochrome P450 enzymes in the liver. This compound is an irreversible antagonist of the platelet P2Y12 receptor [3]. The antagonist effect is stereoselective for the S-enantiomer shown here, whereas the R-enantiomer is almost inactive.
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. ✖ |

Immunopharmacology Comments |
Experimental evidence indicates that P2Y12 receptors play a critical role in Th17 differentiation (in mouse models of autoimmune inflammatory diseases), and that P2Y12-selective antagonists reverse Th17 differentiation and ameliorate inflammatory sequelae [2]. These findings suggest potential for P2Y12 antagonists as therapeutics for autoimmune diseases. |
