TARGETED PROTEIN DEGRADATION MARKET: GROWTH AND TRENDS
Targeted protein degradation (TPD) is an emerging therapeutic modality that has the potential to enable the treatment of difficult-to-treat diseases. While conventional medicines, such as small molecule inhibitors and monoclonal antibodies, target less than 20% of the proteome, TPD provides a novel approach to access the vast majority of unexplored proteins within the proteome. Through TPD, a disease can be addressed by controlling the amount of harmful protein rather than trying to modulate or inhibit its function. The control of protein levels is accomplished with a small molecule drug, called a protein degrader. TPD is a bifunctional small molecule that recruits E3 ubiquitin ligases to the protein of interest and mediates its ubiquitination and subsequent proteolysis by the proteasome.

Small molecule-mediated selective TPD has several advantages over traditional drug discovery strategies. One of the primary advantages is the high degree of target specificity that can be rapidly validated by leveraging the multiple layers of selectivity in the cellular machinery. Moreover, owing to the fact that the TPD degrader molecules cannot be destroyed, they can cause the destruction of many copies of harmful proteins and reduce systemic drug exposure. In addition, it can counteract increased target protein expression by inhibiting the protein function. It is worth noting that a single protein degrader has the ability to potentially eliminate multiple disease-causing proteins through proteasome degradation of the target protein. Owing to the above-mentioned advantages and the ongoing pace of technological advancements, the targeted protein degradation market is poised to experience noteworthy growth during the forecast period.
