Synonyms: KMUP 1
Compound class:
Synthetic organic
Comment: KMUP-1 is a novel xanthine-based activator of soluble guanylyl cyclase (sGC) (acts to enhance cGMP levels) reported to be useful clinically for tracheal relaxation [1]. It also has anti-inflammatory actions. Studies in aninals suggest this compound may also be a candidate for clinical investigation as a treatment for pulmonary arterial hypertension [2] or erectile dysfunction [3].
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. ✖ |
