Discovery of Cyclic Peptides Targeting β-Catenin

Design orally bioavailable cyclic peptides targeting β-catenin/BCL9 protein-protein interactions (PPI)

Background

• The Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway is one of the most frequently activated pathways in cancer.

• Disrupting the β-catenin/BCL9 interaction effectively blocks Wnt/β-catenin signaling, offering a promising therapeutic strategy.

Goal: Design orally bioavailable cyclic peptides that target β-catenin/BCL9 protein-protein interactions (PPI).
