Abstract
Cancer and Alzheimer's disease (AD) are among the most prevalent diseases in contemporary society, exerting profound psychological and physical distress on affected individuals and their kin. There is an emerging consensus from epidemiological studies suggesting a potential inverse relationship between the two conditions; that is, the presence of one disease might offer some level of protection against the other. The etiology of both cancer and AD is intricately linked to dysregulation and perturbations in critical signaling pathways. These pathways, along with the diverse factors they encompass, exert distinct influences on the pathogenesis of two diseases. In this paper, we make a short review of the different mutations in the relevant signaling pathways between cancer and AD and introduce a few representative drugs for the two diseases based on various targets to provide a new idea for treating cancer and AD.
期刊介绍：
Current Topics in Medicinal Chemistry is a forum for the review of areas of keen and topical interest to medicinal chemists and others in the allied disciplines. Each issue is solely devoted to a specific topic, containing six to nine reviews, which provide the reader a comprehensive survey of that area. A Guest Editor who is an expert in the topic under review, will assemble each issue. The scope of Current Topics in Medicinal Chemistry will cover all areas of medicinal chemistry, including current developments in rational drug design, synthetic chemistry, bioorganic chemistry, high-throughput screening, combinatorial chemistry, compound diversity measurements, drug absorption, drug distribution, metabolism, new and emerging drug targets, natural products, pharmacogenomics, and structure-activity relationships. Medicinal chemistry is a rapidly maturing discipline. The study of how structure and function are related is absolutely essential to understanding the molecular basis of life. Current Topics in Medicinal Chemistry aims to contribute to the growth of scientific knowledge and insight, and facilitate the discovery and development of new therapeutic agents to treat debilitating human disorders. The journal is essential for every medicinal chemist who wishes to be kept informed and up-to-date with the latest and most important advances.
