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 in Japan as an anticoagulant and to treat pancreatic cancer. SARS-CoV-2 and COVID-19: In Japan, a combination therapy of nafamostat plus favipiravir is being evaluated in patients with COVID-19 pneumonia (clinical trial jRCTs031200026) [5]. Favipiravir is being included for its antiviral action, and nafamostat is being proposed to reduce SARS-CoV-2 entry by inhiiting the host protease TMPRSS2 [3,7], and to additionally counteract COVID-19-associated thrombosis via its anticoagulant activity. |
