Circle Pharma

Circle Pharma is a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company in South San Francisco, California, developing cell-permeable, orally bioavailable macrocycle therapies for cancer. Founded in 2013 by Matthew P. Jacobson and Scott Lokey out of work on predicting synthetic macrocycle cell permeability, the company applies its proprietary MXMO structure-based design platform to protein-protein interactions that conventional small molecules cannot reach. Its pipeline targets cyclins, the regulators of the cell cycle that drive many cancers: lead program CID-078, a first-in-class oral cyclin A/B RxL inhibitor, is in Phase 1 for advanced solid tumors, followed by a preclinical cyclin D1 RxL inhibitor and undisclosed cyclin programs partnered with Boehringer Ingelheim. Circle Pharma closed a $90M Series D led by The Column Group in 2024 and has an agreement with Eli Lilly to use Lilly TuneLab to strengthen the AI/ML side of the MXMO platform. Circle Pharma runs no developer program and publishes no product API; the only machine-readable surface it exposes is the anonymously readable WordPress REST content API behind circlepharma.com.

Circle Pharma is listed with 1 API on the APIs.io network. Tagged areas include Company, Biotechnology, Pharmaceuticals, Oncology, and Drug Discovery.

Circle Pharma’s developer surface includes engineering blog, support, authentication, and 23 more developer resources.

scored 2026-10-09 · rubric v0.23.0
Regulatory Posture applies to this provider. Its tags matched the Health regime, so Regulatory Posture carries 15 points of the composite. If this regime is wrong for your business, say so on your provider repo — the applicability map is public and we will correct it.
Create-or-Update Ergonomics could not be measured. We hold no machine-readable contract for this provider to read, so there is nothing to measure a write surface against. Excluded rather than scored zero: never-measured and measured-empty are different facts. Publishing an OpenAPI is what makes this facet — and several others — scorable at all.
The six quality facets above are damped to 85 points between them, because the conditional facet above carries the other 15. That is why each facet's contribution is shown against a damped maximum: raising a quality facet moves the composite by 85% of its nominal weight, not 100%. The full arithmetic is at apis.io/rating/.
Improve this rating by publishing the missing artifacts — every area above can be raised, and the full rubric is at apis.io/rating/. Every facet and dimension name above is a link: it opens that measurement's own page — what it means, the exact checks that feed it, how the whole catalog distributes on it, and the providers at the top of it. This rating is computed from github.com/api-evangelist/circle-pharma: open an issue to ask a question, or submit a pull request to add artifacts.
