Synthetic organic
Comment: Ompenaclid (RGX202) is a small molecule, competitive inhibitor of the human creatine transporter (SLC6A8) [3].
Not to be confused with the Duchenne muscular dystrophy gene therapy RGX-202. ![]() 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. ✖ |

Target | Comment |
CT1 | Functions as a creatine transporter in the brain and in muscles [3]. Deleterious mutations in SLC6A8 cause cerebral creatine deficiency syndrome 1 (CCDS1). Also exploited in some cancers to satisfy their high energy requirements. Cryo-EM structures of CT1 in apo, creatinine-bound and ompenaclid-bound states have been reported [3]. |
