Obstacles and innovations of macrocyclic drug development

Drug Target Review

Traditionally, drug discovery has focused on small-molecule therapeutics, typically with a molecular weight of less than 500 Daltons. 2 Typically, small-molecule drugs target active sites buried inside proteins. What are macrocycles and why are they interesting for drug discovery?
