Comment: Zanubrutinib (BGB-3111) is a potent, selective and irreversible BTK inhibitor that was developed by BeiGene for utility in the treatment of B cell cancers, such as non-Hodgkin's lymphoma and chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) [1,4].
![]() 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 |
Zanubrutinib (BGB-3111) is included in GtoImmuPdb as it acts on B cells, and is a clinical anti-lymphoma drug. BTK inhibition is an established therapeutic modality for the treament of B cell malignancies. BTK inhibitors prevent activation of the B cell antigen receptor (BCR) signalling pathway and promote death of malignant B cells. The developers of zanubrutinib (BeiGene) describe it as being better tolerated than the archetypal BTK inhibitor ibrutinib, with an improved duration of action, better oral bioavailability, refined selectivity and better combinability with ADCC-dependent antibodies (such as rituximab). |
