Intracellular Targets made druggable by TCR-like Antibodies, TCR Fusion Proteins & Cell-Penetrating Biologics 2018:
an industry analysis of technologies, stakeholders, deals & trends
It is estimated that there are 3-4 times more intracellular targets than surface protein targets. However, these intracellular cancer targets are not accessible to traditional monoclonal antibody (mAb) therapies. Since many of these targets are not enzymes or surface receptors with readily druggable pockets, these important oncogenic proteins cannot be easily inhibited with small molecules. Thus, intracellular cancer-specific proteins, such as mutated oncogene products, transcription factors, protein adapters, and other nontraditional targets, remain inaccessible to current technologies used for FDA-approved drugs.
Therefore, novel technologies are needed to address historically undruggable targets and complex mechanisms, such as intracellular protein-protein interactions like p53 or Ras, β-catenin and Myc.
