2D Structure

An image of the ligand's 2D structure. For small molecules with SMILES these are drawn using the NCI/CADD Chemical Identifier Resolver. Click on the image to access the chemical structure search tool with the ligand pre-loaded in the structure editor. For other types of ligands, e.g. longer nucleotides and peptides, a manually drawn representation of the molecule may be provided.

SMILES / InChI / InChIKey

SMILES (Simplified Molecular Input Line Entry Specification) A specification for unambiguously describing the structure of chemical molecules using short ASCII strings. Canonical SMILES specify a unique representation of the 2D structure without chiral or isotopic specifications. Isomeric SMILES include chiral specification and isotopes.

Standard InChI (IUPAC International Chemical Identifier) and InChIKey InChI is a non-proprietary, standard, textual identifier for chemical substances designed to facilitate linking of information and database searching. An InChIKey is a simplified version of a full InChI, designed for easier web searching.

Summary of Clinical Use Click here for help
This drug was designated as an orphan drug for rare diseases by the European Medicines Agency (EMA) in 2004, for treatment of chronic myeloid leukemia (CML). In 2012, the US FDA granted full approval for the same indication, in patients who have shown resistance and/or intolerance to two or more tyrosine kinase inhibitors.
Mechanism Of Action and Pharmacodynamic Effects Click here for help
Omacetaxine inhibits protein translation. It is hypothesised that the drug binds to the A site of the 60S ribosomal subunit, preventing entry of charged tRNAs, thereby preventing elongation of nascent proteins [2,4]. The cells undergo cell cycle arrest [5] and apoptose [1].
