SMILES: CC1(CC(C1)C2=NC(=C3N2C=CN=C3N)C4=CC5=C(C=C4)C=CC(=N5)C6=CC=CC=C6)O

IUPAC name: 3-[8-amino-1-(2-phenylquinolin-7-yl)imidazo[1,5-a]pyrazin-3-yl]-1-methylcyclobutan-1-ol

ChEBI definition: An imidazopyrazine that is imidazo[1,5-a]pyrazine substituted by 2-phenylquinolin-7-yl, cis-3-hydroxy-3-methylcyclobutyl, and amino groups at positions 1, 3, and 8, respectively. It is dual inhibitor of the IGF-1 receptor and insulin receptor (IC50 = 35 and 75 nM, respectively) that was previously in clinical development for the treatment of cancer and thyroid eye disease.

Pharmacological roles (ChEBI): insulin-like growth factor receptor 1 antagonist, antimycobacterial drug, antineoplastic agent, apoptosis inducer.

Patent coverage: 572 distinct patent families (1,446 SureChEMBL compound mentions), from 1 matched compound structure(s). Mentions count patents naming the compound (not distinct inventions), so promiscuous / reference molecules inflate the mention figure — families are the dedup metric.

Pharmacology

Pharmacogenomics

No PharmGKB pharmacogenomic data curated for this drug.

Molecules sharing ≥1 of this drug’s curated primary targets, merged from two biobtree sources and ranked by shared-target count, then clinical phase: ChEMBL clinical-stage candidates (development phase ≥2) and PubChem drug-class bioactivity (approved / known drugs acting on the target). Deduplicated by drug name; the drug’s own salt forms are excluded. Note: for a drug with few primary targets a shared-target match can reflect off-target / promiscuous binding rather than the same therapeutic mechanism — the phase ordering surfaces bona-fide therapeutics first.
