AI Technical Summary
Existing peptide compounds for oral administration in treating inflammatory diseases like Crohn's disease have limited stability in the intestinal environment and do not effectively target the IL-23 pathway, leading to systemic side effects and reduced efficacy.
Development of macrocyclic lactam peptides with specific structural motifs that enhance stability against proteases, increase affinity for the IL-23 receptor, and inhibit IL-23 signaling, suitable for oral administration.
The peptides exhibit high affinity for the IL-23 receptor, providing potent anti-inflammatory effects with improved stability and reduced systemic side effects, making them suitable for treating intestinal inflammation.
