Undruggable cancer proteins such as beta-catenin, MYC and KRAS act through broad flat protein-protein interfaces that small pills cannot cover. Ring-shaped macrocyclic peptides can, some series are cell-permeable, and mRNA display can screen trillions of candidates; the proposal is a focused campaign with open publication of permeability rules.
Protein-protein interfaces are the defining feature of undruggable targets. Macrocycles occupy a chemical space between small molecules and biologics, with demonstrated cell permeability in some series, and mRNA display can screen trillions of candidates in a single tube. A focused campaign against a defined list of oncology interfaces (for example beta-catenin/TCF, MYC/MAX, KRAS/SOS) with open publication of permeability rules would advance both the targets and the modality.
