Synthesis of DNA-Encoded Bicyclic Peptides via Cysteine-Promoted Cyclization and Amide Condensation Reaction

Yi Gan; Yumei Zeng; Haojie Guan; Wenjun Li; Alex Shaginian; Jin Li; Sen Gao; Guansai Liu

HitGen researchers describe a method for synthesizing DNA-encoded bicyclic peptides using cysteine-promoted cyclization and amide condensation under mild conditions. The abstract reports compatibility with varied sequences and ring sizes. This is discovery-platform chemistry, not evidence that the resulting peptides have oral exposure, clinical efficacy, or validated manufacturing-scale performance.

A randomized phase 2 study evaluated oral JNJ-77242113, an IL-23 receptor antagonist peptide, against placebo for 16 weeks in plaque psoriasis. The study reported a dose-response relationship for skin improvement. This is candidate-specific human evidence; it does not establish oral bioavailability or clinical success for other cyclic peptides.
