ABSTRACT In recent years, proteolysis targeting chimera (PROTAC) technology has made significant progress in the field of drug development. Traditional drugs mainly focus on inhibiting or activating specific proteins, while PROTAC provides new ideas for treating various diseases by inducing degradation target proteins. Especially peptide PROTACs, due to their unique structural and functional characteristics, they have become a hot research topic. This review detailed description key components, mechanisms, design principles elaborates applications skin‐related diseases, oncology, other potential therapeutic fields, analyzes advantages challenges, looks forward future development prospects. The not only opens up paths development, but also solving resistance safety issues faced traditional small‐molecule drugs. Compared with PROTACs such as multitargeting, biodegradability, low toxicity, flexibility design. With deepening continuous maturity technology, are expected one important strategies discovery, providing hope treatment more intractable diseases. Peptide ushering era precision medicine.
