According to the agreement, Circle Pharma will be responsible to provide computational design and synthetic chemistry platform and develop physical screening of specific macrocyclic peptides.

With non-exclusive rights to the screen library against specific targets, Pfizer will support the development of the library.

The agreement enables the two partners to develop a library that will contain hundreds of macrocycles to derive disease processes and create derivative libraries designed specifically for a therapeutic target class.
