Targeted Protein Degradation Market, 2020-2030

New York, Feb. 18, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Reportlinker.com announces the release of the report "Targeted Protein Degradation Market, 2020-2030" - https://www.reportlinker.com/p05863926/?utm_source=GNW
Owing to various reasons, conventional pharmacological interventions have been severely restricted in terms of accessing protein targets of pathological significance. However, researchers engaged in developing bifunctional protein degrader-based interventions claim that this upcoming class of medicinal compounds possess the capability to access the part of the eukaryotic proteome that was previously considered undruggable. The science behind this innovation revolves around the use of specially designed small molecules that are capable of recruiting the ubiquitin-proteasome system (UPS) to selectively eliminate a target protein, via proteolysis. The applications of this technology in drug discovery are vast. Further, drugs designed / based on this concept are known to demonstrate a remarkable level of selectivity, high potency, oral bioavailability and differentiated pharmacology, when compared to traditional occupancy-based inhibitors. As a result, targeted protein degradation-based therapeutics have generated enthusiasm within the medical science community, thereby, defining a new frontier in the field of medicine. The growing popularity and interest in the therapeutic potential of these molecules is evident across modern scientific literature (500+ related articles on NCBI’s PubMed portal), and from social media chatter (4,000+ tweets posted on the platform, Twitter, over the last three years).

The first targeted protein degrader, called proteolysis targeting chimera (PROTAC), was developed about a decade ago. Over the years, significant progress has been made towards understanding the physiochemical and biological properties of these bifunctional molecules. In fact, a variety of other chemical entities and molecular glues have been developed for the treatment of a variety of clinical conditions, including acute myeloid leukemia, Alzheimer’s disease, breast cancer, myelofibrosis, multiple myeloma, Parkinson’s disease, prostate cancer, psoriasis, rheumatoid arthritis, and supranuclear palsy. R&D efforts in this field are being supported by novel DNA-encoded libraries and other versatile bioinformatics tools, which are enabling efficient hit discovery and characterization of potential therapeutic leads. So far, investments worth over USD 3.5 billion have been made in this emerging field of research by various private and public investors. In addition, technology developers with expertise in targeted protein degradation are known to have been involved in several big licensing deals. It is also worth mentioning that, in the last 4-5 years, there has been a marked rise in the number of new entrants in this market. Interestingly, several big pharma players are also actively evaluating protein degraders. Although there are no approved protein degrader-based drugs / therapy products in the market yet, we can expect targeted protein degradation to become a major therapeutic modality in the coming decade.
