Comment: Ezutromid (SMT C1100) is a clinical stage compound that was developed for its ability to increase expression of utrophin (UTRN; P46939), as a substitute for missing the dystrophin (DMD; P11532) in Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) patients [1]. It is orally active. The aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AhR) has been reported as a molecular target for ezutromid, with ezutromid behaving as an AhR antagonist [2]. Ezutromid and other AhR antagonists up-regulate utrophin, adding to the proposition that this pathway offers disease-modifying potential for DMD.
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. ✖ |
