How can you use “small-molecule” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:

This supports the model that all of these small-molecule modulators of Hh signaling are direct ligands of Smo.
As might have been anticipated in treatment of cancer with any single agent, resistance to small-molecule tyrosine kinase inhibitors has emerged as a significant clinical problem.
It is clear that, to the extent that small-molecule kinase inhibitors are effective as single agents in treatment of cancer, resistance will develop.
Furthermore, studies with the agonist and several antagonists of Hh signaling suggest that Smo can be activated or inhibited by direct interaction with small-molecule ligands.
Since the Hh receptor, Ptc, serves to inhibit signaling, a small-molecule pathway activator would need to be capable of one of the following: first, interfering with the inhibitory effect that Ptc exerts on Smo; second, activating Smo without affecting Ptc; or third, activating the pathway downstream of Smo.
