Allosteric drugs have several significant advantages over traditional orthosteric drugs, encompassing higher selectivity and lower toxicity. Although allosteric drugs have potential advantages as therapeutic agents to treat human diseases, allosteric drug-resistance mutations still occur, rendering these drugs ineffective. Here, we review the emergence of allosteric drug-resistance mutations with an emphasis on examples covering clinically important therapeutic targets, including Breakpoint cluster region-Abelson tyrosine kinase (Bcr-Abl), Akt kinase [also called Protein Kinase B (PKB)], isocitrate dehydrogenase (IDH), MAPK/ERK kinase (MEK), and SRC homology 2 domain-containing phosphatase 2 (SHP2). We also discuss challenges associated with tackling allosteric drug resistance and the possible strategies to overcome this issue.
