Abstract

Background: Polypharmacology means drugs having interactions with multiple targets of a unique disease or many disease pathways. This concept has been greatly appreciated against complex diseases, such as oncology, CNS disorders, and anti-infectives.

Methods: The integration of diverse compounds available on public databases initiates polypharmacological drug discovery research. Immunocompromised patients may suffer from complex diseases. Multiple-component drug formulations may produce side effects and resistance issues due to unintended drug-target interactions.

Results: Polypharmacology remains a novel avenue to propose a more effective and less toxic treatment. The 4-amino quinoline scaffold has become an important construction motif for the development of new drugs against lifestyle diseases like cancer and infectious diseases like tuberculosis and malaria.

Conclusion: The present study is an attempt to explore the polypharmacological effects of 4- aminoquinoline drugs to combat malaria, cancer, and tuberculosis.
