DNA-Encoded Chemical Libraries (DELs) have gained momentum over the recent years for the discovery of small-molecule ligands and the technology has been integrated in most of the larger pharmaceutical companies. With this perspective we would like to summarize the development of DEL technology and present some representative DEL-derived hits which may soon enter the pharmaceutical market.

To date, RNA-targeted chemical matter is under explored due to a lack of robust screening assays. In this study, we present a novel RNA-targeted small molecule screening approach using a specialized DNA-encoded library (DEL). Our findings reveal that the specialized DEL library, called "DEL Zipper", can significantly reduce single-stranded DNA-RNA region interaction signals during various kinds of RNA selection.

WD repeat-containing protein 5 (WDR5) is a scaffolding protein involved in critical protein-protein interactions and a promising target for therapeutic development. Novel small-molecule ligands targeting WDR5 were identified using the DELopen platform, a free-access DNA-encoded chemical library (DEL) for academic research. Through off-DNA structure-activity relationship studies and photoaffinity labeling, two promising initial leads, DBL-6-13 and DBL-6-33, were identified as new binders of WDR5.

DNA-encoded library (DEL) technology has been developed to serve as a practical platform for the discovery of biologically active macrocyclic peptide compounds. However, the cyclization of linear peptides has been widely regarded as the challenging step in the production of macrocyclic peptide DELs. Herein, we describe a novel DNA-compatible macrocyclization strategy, which enables the construction of ring systems via visible-light-mediated desulfurative C-C bond formation.

A DNA-compatible three-component reaction is disclosed for the synthesis of on-DNA polysubstituted isoxazolidines that serve as privileged core scaffolds in numerous natural products and bioactive molecules. This one-pot approach involves the 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition of DNA-tagged styrenes with diazo compounds and nitrosoarenes in an aqueous solution of KOAc. The reaction demonstrates excellent functional group compatibility, providing a conventional protocol for the construction of a DNA-labeled isoxazolidine library.
