This review comprehensively explores the principles, methodologies, advantages, and limitations of drug repurposing in oncology. It examines multiple drug classes with demonstrated anticancer potential, including nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, antidiabetic agents, antiparasitic and antiviral drugs, antibiotics, antiepileptics, anaesthetics, neuroleptics, and cardiovascular medications. Mechanistic insights are discussed with emphasis on key cancer hallmarks such as apoptosis induction, proliferation inhibition, angiogenesis suppression, and tumor metabolism disruption. Preclinical and clinical evidence, along with examples of successfully repurposed agents, illustrate the translational and therapeutic relevance of this approach. By leveraging drugs with known pharmacological and safety profiles, drug repurposing accelerates clinical translation, reduces development costs, and expands therapeutic options for cancer patients. This strategy complements conventional therapies, addresses unmet clinical needs, and enhances treatment outcomes, establishing drug repurposing as a practical and patient-centered paradigm in modern oncology.</p>\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":146,"journal":{"name":"ChemistrySelect","volume":"11 38","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2026-10-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"149100271","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
