Interactions of small molecule inhibitors with secreted phospholipase A2: A review of the structural data

Chemical Biology and Drug Design

Besides their roles in the degradation of phospholipids, these enzymes also play an important role in the immune response by promoting inflammation. Knowledge of the molecular interactions acquired from such structures would greatly aid the discovery of small molecule inhibitors of sPLA 2 s for the treatment of snakebite envenoming.

Unlocking Undruggable Targets: Shifting Paradigms in Modern Drug Discovery

DrugBank

Researchers are experimenting with biologics—larger biological molecules that can do things small molecules can't, like targeting larger, more complex structures on cell surfaces or even inside cells. These methods could bypass the need to directly target these proteins with traditional drugs.

Phages could help to tackle antimicrobial resistance

Drug Target Review

Researchers from the Laboratory of Bacteriology at The Rockefeller University have now found that bacteria sense phages by a defensive response named CBASS (cyclic oligonucleotide-based antiphage signalling system) which detects viral RNA. In bacteria , cGAS-like cyclases are central parts of the CBASS immune response.
