teduglutide is an approved drug (FDA and EMA (2012))
Compound class:
Peptide
Comment: Teduglutide is a glucagon-like peptide-2 (GLP-2) analogue in which position 2 amino acid alanine is replaced by glycine, increasing the peptide's resistance to proteolytic cleavage by dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP-4) [2]. The chemical structure shown here was generated using the SMILES from PubChem CID 16139605. The intestinotrophic effects of GLP-2 (e.g. promotion of intestinal growth, reduced epithelial cell apoptosis and inflammation) has led to the development of GLP-2 analogues like teduglutide for the treatment of GI disorders such as short bowel syndrome and inflammatory bowel diseases.
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. ✖ |
