![]() 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 ![]() |
Approved to treat and prevent bronchospasm in adults with chronic bronchitis, emphysema, or other forms of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) [1]. This drug can be used as long-term maintainence therapy and requires use only once daily. In November 2014, the EU EMA granted marketing authorisation of the fixed-dose combination medication Duaklir Genuair TM (aclidinium bromide/formoterol fumarate) as a maintenance bronchodilator for patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). |
Mechanism Of Action and Pharmacodynamic Effects ![]() |
Aclidinium bromide is a long-acting, anticholinergic/antimuscarinic bronchodilator [2]. The drug competitively and reversibly inhibits the action of acetylcholine at type 3 muscarinic (M3) receptors in bronchial smooth muscle. This causes a reduction in smooth muscle contraction, ie the bronchodilatory effect that eases breathing. |
