avacopan is an approved drug (FDA (2021), EMA (2022))
Compound class:
Synthetic organic
Comment: Avacopan is a small molecule, competitive and orally bioactive antagonist of human C5a1 receptor [1]. It was originally proposed as an alternative to steroid (glucocorticoid) therapy for ANCA-associated vasculitis [3,7]. The evidence confirming C5, C5a and the C5a receptor as anti-inflammatory and anti-cancer drug targets was reviewed by Horiuchi and Tsukamoto (2016) [2].
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. ✖ |
