The role of STRIs in cancer

Drug Target Review

Because these proteins have such a profound effect on cells, there is typically a second hurdle of regulation that needs to be overcome to make the proteins. eFFECTOR Therapeutics has developed a novel class of cancer drugs known as Selective Translation Regulator Inhibitors (STRIs), which directly target the eIF4F complex.
