Comment: 6-Hydroxy-5,7-dimethoxyflavone (UFM24) is a flavone extracted from the Annonaceae Uvaria flexuosa [2]. It exhibits anti-inflammatory effects that are mediated by inhibition of PDE4 cAMP phosphodiesterases in neutrophils. The anti-inflammatory activities (inhibition of superoxide anion generation and elastase release from human neutrophils in response to fMLP) of seco-cyclohexenes and cyclohexenes isolated from Uvaria flexuosa leaves are reported by Hsu et al. (2016) [1].
![]() 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. ✖ |
