Obstacles and innovations of macrocyclic drug development

Drug Target Review

These sites are commonly involved in protein-protein interactions, some of which are key to disease development. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved drugs, macrocycles are used to combat a range of diseases, including cancer, viral, fungal and bacterial infections, neurodegenerative and autoimmune diseases.
