ubrogepant is an approved drug (FDA (2019))
Compound class:
Synthetic organic
Comment: Ubrogepant (MK-1602) is an orally available calcitonin gene-related peptide receptor antagonist that was developed by Allergan for the acute treatment of migraine [1,3-4,6]. Notably it was the first oral CGRP receptor antagonist to be approved to treat migraines as they are occurring. Previously approved CGRP/CGRP receptor-targeting drugs (e.g. fremanezumab, galcanezumab and erenumab) have been indicated for migraine prevention.
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. ✖ |
