Abstract :
Multi-target drugs are a class of hybrid compounds that can act on multiple targets and diseases simultaneously. These drugs have the potential to treat a range of disorders including Alzheimer's disease, diabetes, and cancer. This review aims to assess the efficacy of acridine- and tacrine-based multi-target hybrid drugs for the treatment of various diseases. In December 2022, a systematic literature search was conducted using "acridine," "tacrine," "multi-target agent, "and "multi-factorial diseases" along with their synonyms. According to the findings, acridine-based conjugates exhibited anti-cancer and anti-diabetic properties by directly inhibiting α-Glucosidase and α-Amylase, and by binding to DNA, topoisomerases, histone deacetylase, and poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase. The results suggest that acridine- and tacrine-based hybrid complexes have the potential to serve as promising multi-target agents for the treatment of Alzheimer's disease, neurological disorders, diabetes, and cancer. Overall, these compounds offer a new approach to drug development by targeting multiple disease pathways with a single agent. In conclusion, the use of multi-target drugs could potentially lead to improved therapeutic outcomes with fewer side effects, making them a promising area of research for the treatment of complex diseases. Keywords for this review include acridine, tacrine, multi-factorial diseases, and multi-target drugs.
