Abstract：
:Drug repurposing for cancer therapy is currently a hot topic of research. Theoretically, in contrast to the known hurdles of developing new molecular entities, the approach of repurposing has several advantages. Mostly, it is said that it is faster, safer, easier, and cheaper. In the real world, however, there are only three repurposed drugs so far, that are listed in widely recognized cancer guidelines, but a large number of them are being studied. Among the many barriers to repurposing cancer drugs, economical-driven are the most important that difficult the clinical development of them. In this review, we provide an overview of the current status of drug repurposing for cancer therapy and the barriers that need to be overcome to realize the benefit of this approach. It means to have repositioned drugs for cancer therapy accepted as standard therapy for cancer indications at low cost.
