Recent Advances in Multi-target Drugs Targeting Protein Kinases and Histone Deacetylases in Cancer Therapy.

abstract：:Currently, the long-term usage of non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NNRTIs) in HIVAIDS patients eventually leads to the development of drug resistance and severe side effect. Therefore, it is imperative to look for the novel NNRTIs with potent and broad spectrum anti-mutant activity that are also safe a...
