Figure 1. Evolution of targeted molecular therapies.

Figure 1

Two approaches have been used to date: post-translation and post-transcription. The post-translational method deals with direct protein or target molecule inhibitors such as chemical drugs, antibodies and inhibitory peptides. The post-transcriptional method deals with targeting the target molecule precursor mRNA; this method includes antisense and RNAi therapies.
