IUPAC name: 5-amino-3-[4-[[(5-fluoro-2-methoxybenzoyl)amino]methyl]phenyl]-1-[(2S)-1,1,1-trifluoropropan-2-yl]pyrazole-4-carboxamide
ChEBI definition: A secondary carboxamide resulting from the formal condensation of the carboxy group of 5-fluoro-2-methoxybenzoic acid with the amino group of 5-amino-3-[4-(aminomethyl)phenyl]-1-[(2S)-1,1,1-trifluoropropan-2-yl]-1H-pyrazole-4-carboxamide. It is a BTK inhibitor used for the treatment of adult patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia or small lymphocytic lymphoma.
Pharmacological roles (ChEBI): EC 2.7.10.2 (non-specific protein-tyrosine kinase) inhibitor, antineoplastic agent, apoptosis inducer.

Patent coverage: 216 distinct patent families (427 SureChEMBL compound mentions), from 2 matched compound structure(s). One matched structure accounts for 401 (94%) of the total. Mentions count patents naming the compound (not distinct inventions), so promiscuous / reference molecules inflate the mention figure — families are the dedup metric.

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.
