Notes

Added at stage 22: promoted from 'Reported once' (single-article, no diagnostic pair at discovery) because a full-text synthesis with extracted data exists in parsed-therapy.xlsx -- PMID(s): 41701408. Target/mechanism, clinical application, indications, approval and precursor fields still need per-agent research and are intentionally left empty. Compound class inferred from precursor name (not stated outright) -- PMID 41701408: 'PKB2 [DOTAGA-PEG2-Pip-[MetTrp8, Sar11]RM26]'.
