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. ✖ |

Summary of Clinical Use |
Used to treat acromegaly, where other treatments have been unsucessful. May also be used to treat symptoms associated with neuroendocrine tumours such as TSH-secreting thyrotrophic adenomas. |
Mechanism Of Action and Pharmacodynamic Effects |
Endogenous somatostatin (via the somatostatin receptors) blocks the release of several other hormones, including growth hormone, thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH), insulin and glucagon. Lanreotide mimics this effect. In acromegalic patients this drug reduces growth hormone and IGF-1 levels. |
