Drug Repositioning in Kinase Inhibitor Discovery for Cancer Therapy

Repurposing of existing drugs has emerged as a time- and cost-effective strategy in oncology drug discovery. Given the critical role of dysregulated kinase signaling in cancer, kinase-focused repurposing strategies have attracted considerable interest. This approach encompasses both “target hopping” between different k...
