Targeted Therapeutic Molecules

Meaning

Targeted Therapeutic Molecules are pharmacological agents, often small molecules or peptides, that are specifically designed to interact with a single, identified molecular target, such as a particular enzyme, receptor, or signaling protein implicated in a disease pathway or aging process. Unlike broad-acting compounds, these molecules possess high affinity and selectivity for their intended target, minimizing systemic toxicity and increasing treatment precision. In hormonal health, this often involves molecules that selectively modulate hormone receptor activity or enzyme function.
