Compound class:
Synthetic organic
Comment: Olodanrigan (EMA401) is reported as a selective antagonist of the angiotensin type II receptor (AT2R) [6,9]. The compound is being assessed as a novel therapy for neuropathic pain [3].
Note that PubChem CID 23683656 refers to the potassium salt and that the sodium salt was used in [9]. ![]() 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 ![]() |
EMA401 is being assessed in separate Phase 2 clinical trials as a potential treatment for postherpetic neuralgia (PHN) or diabetic neuropathies (May 2015). |
Mechanism Of Action and Pharmacodynamic Effects ![]() |
Expression of AT2R mRNA and protein, and co-localisation with pain related neurotramsmitters in human dorsal root ganglion suggests the existence of an intrinsic angiotensin driven pathway in the nervous system, which may be involved in nociception [5]. Reports of AT2R antagonist efficacy in rodent neuropathic pain [7-8] and in human post-herpetic neuralgia [3] support this hypothesis. Further evidence suggests a role for AT2R in modulating both pain signalling and neurite outgrowth [1]. |
