Comment: PSB-KD107 is a first-in-class non-lipid-like agonist of the orphan G-protein-coupled receptor GPR18 [2]. In a GPR18-dependent β-arrestin recruitment assay, PSB-KD107 is significantly more potent and efficacious than the natural cannabinoid agonist Δ9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC). PSB-KD107 is selective for GPR18 over the cannabinoid-sensitive receptors CB1, CB2, and GPR55.
![]() 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. ✖ |

Immunopharmacology Comments |
As GPR18 is primarily expressed in cells and tissues of the immune system, PSB-KD107 offers a tool compound that is suitable for target validation studies for immunomodulatory and inflammatory processes, wound healing, and cancer. |
