Therapeutic peptides: Historical perspectives, current development trends, and future directions
Open accessAbstract
Peptide therapeutics have played a notable role in medical practice since the advent of insulin therapy in the 1920s. Over 60 peptide drugs are approved in the United States and other major markets, and peptides continue to enter clinical development at a steady pace. Peptide drug discovery has diversified beyond its traditional focus on endogenous human peptides to include a broader range of structures identified from other natural sources or through medicinal chemistry efforts. We maintain a comprehensive dataset on peptides that have entered human clinical studies that includes over 150 peptides in active development today. Here we provide an overview of the peptide therapeutic landscape, including historical perspectives, molecular characteristics, regulatory benchmarks, and a therapeutic area breakdown.

In the citing paper
“Peptides (2–50 amino acids) and proteins (more than 50 amino acids) have better selectivity for human specific targets. The larger molecular size and diverse quaternary structure enhance their interaction with specific protein pockets, making peptides and protein drugs have better biological activity and lower toxicity than small molecules.294,295”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
