What Are Some Examples of Multifunctional Therapeutics?
Several drugs and natural compounds exhibit multifunctionality in cancer treatment. Doxorubicin, a widely used chemotherapeutic agent, intercalates DNA and inhibits topoisomerase II, thereby preventing DNA replication and transcription. Additionally, curcumin, a compound derived from turmeric, has been shown to inhibit multiple signaling pathways, induce apoptosis, and possess anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties.
