Oral Macrocyclic Peptide Inhibitors of Cytokine Signaling

  • Macrocyclic peptides derived from display-based technologies occupy the intermediate chemical space between small molecules and antibodies
  • Chemical matter optimization strategies using structure-guided designs and non-canonical amino acids deliver drug-like leads
  • Antibody-like biological activity can be achieved in blocking cytokine signaling implicated in immune-mediated diseases
