The drugs also target relatively low-hanging fruit: like cytokines or tyrosine kinase receptors.

Suddenly, at higher doses, you see an exaggerated ‘bang’ of effect.

However, the receptors that these medicines target have been described as the ‘low-hanging’ fruit, and There are approximately 800 human GPCRs in the superfamily, controlling a broad range of physiological Orion’s receptor antagonist analogs have demonstrated powerful efficacies across a range of animal models
