Abstract
Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs and aureolic acid group of anti-cancer drugs belong to the class of generic drugs. Research with some members of these two groups of drugs in different laboratories has unveiled functions other than those for which they were primarily developed as drugs. Here we have reviewed the molecular mechanism behind the multiple functions of these drugs that might lead to employ them for treatment of diseases in addition to those they are presently employed. The distinct advantage of using old drugs for alternate functions lies in their well-studied Absorption Distribution Metabolism Excretion and Toxicity (ADMET) profile.
