Abstract

Cancer is a wide-spreading disease. Its count goes on increasing and became the second leading cause of death in respect of diseases. New cancer-targeting molecules are explored. In this study, we tried to collect information about one such molecule, OTX015. Articles were searched across reputed search engines and publishers such as Cochrane, EMBASE, The Lancet, PubMed, GoogleScholar, ScienceDirect, Wiley Online, Springer and Bentham Science by using different keywords: “OTX015”, “Cancer”, “Small molecule PROTACs”, “BRD/BET” and “BET inhibitors”. The quality papers were retrieved, studied, categorized into different sections, analyzed, and used for article writing.OTX015 is a novel molecule in clinical trials. It showed some promising results in various cancers as well as other diseases like latent-HIV with the least side-effects.This article will give an insight into Small Molecules as PROTACs, their advantages and disadvantages, OTX015 and its PROTAC ARV- 825. It is advised that more research/studies are required to be carried out to know more about OTX015 and other PROTACs, their advancements, receptors, and mechanism/ mode of action to know their abilities to work against proteins involving diseases.
