undruggable

Used for a disease target, usually a protein or molecule, that is very hard or seemingly impossible to block with a drug. Scientists call something undruggable when it doesn’t fit the usual ways medicines are designed to attach and work.

Так говорят о молекуле или белке, на которые очень трудно или почти невозможно нацелить лекарство. Обычно у такой мишени нет удобного участка, к которому препарат мог бы присоединиться и подействовать.
