Abstract

Background Repurposing drugs for cancer treatment is a popular area of study right now. Theoretically, the repurposing strategy has various benefits over the acknowledged challenges of creating new molecular entities. It is generally claimed to be quicker, safer, simpler, and less expensive. Objectives This paper provides a thorough analysis of the different approaches used in drug repurposing, with a particular emphasis on using pharmaceuticals to treat cancer. We outline the antitumor characteristics of potential medications. We give a summary of the state of drug repurposing for cancer treatment in this paper, along with the obstacles that must be removed in order to fully reap the rewards of this strategy. It refers to the low-cost acceptance of repositioned medications for cancer treatment as conventional treatment for cancer reasons. We also stress how important it is to employ repurposed medications as part of a combination treatment plan.

Introduction

A disorder where cells proliferate abnormally and the cell cycle and apoptosis are not properly regulated is linked to cancer.[1] Global health is heavily burdened by cancer, which continues to be one of the major causes of mortality worldwide.1, 2 Numerous causes, including genetic mutations, environmental influences, a lack of physical exercise, a variety of lifestyles, and unstable behaviors relating to diet, smoking, and alcohol consumption, may contribute to the high prevalence of cancer.3, 4, 5, 6, and 7 Chemotherapy, radiation therapy, solid tumour surgery, or a mix of these are being used to treat different stages of different malignancies [2] [3] [4].
