IUPAC name: (Z)-3-[3-[3,5-bis(trifluoromethyl)phenyl]-1,2,4-triazol-1-yl]-N’-pyrazin-2-ylprop-2-enehydrazide

ChEBI definition: A member of the class of triazoles that is 1H-1,2,4-triazole substituted by (1Z)-3-oxo-3-[2-(pyrazin-2-yl)hydrazinyl]prop-1-en-1-yl and 3,5-bis(trifluoromethyl)phenyl groups at positions 1 and 3, respectively. It is a prescription medicine approved for the treatment of adult patients with relapsed or refractory diffuse large B-cell lymphoma.

Pharmacological roles (ChEBI): exportin 1 inhibitor, antineoplastic agent, anti-inflammatory agent, apoptosis inducer.

Patent coverage: 683 distinct patent families (1,675 SureChEMBL compound mentions), from 2 matched compound structure(s). One matched structure accounts for 1,537 (92%) 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.

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.
