Abstract
Drug repurposing is the idea of using an already approved drug for another disease or disorder away from its initial use. This new approach ensures the reduction in high cost required for developing a new drug in addition to the time consumed, especially in the tumor disorders that show an unceasing rising rate with an unmet success rate of new anticancer drugs. In our review, we will review the anti-cancer effect of some CNS drugs, including both therapeutic and preventive, by searching the literature for preclinical or clinical evidence for anticancer potential of central nervous system drugs over the last 8 years period (2010-2018) and including only evidence from Q1 journals as indicated by Scimago website (

This new approach ensures the reduction in high cost required for developing a new drug in addition to the time consumed, especially in the tumor disorders that show an unceasing rising rate with an unmet success rate of new anticancer drugs. In our review, we will review the anti-cancer effect of some CNS drugs, including both therapeutic and preventive, by searching the literature for preclinical or clinical evidence for anticancer potential of central nervous system drugs over the last 8 years period (2010-2018) and including only evidence from Q1 journals as indicated by Scimago website (<ext-link ext-link-type="uri" xlink:href="www.scimagojr.com">www.scimagojr.com</ext-link>). We concluded that Some Central Nervous system drugs show a great potential as anti-cancer in vitro, in vivo and clinical trials through different mechanisms and pathways in different types of cancer that reveal a promising evidence for the repurposing of CNS drugs for new indications.</p></abstract><kwd-group><title>Key words</title><kwd>CNS drug</kwd><kwd>cancer</kwd><kwd>repurposable drugs</kwd><kwd>repositioning</kwd></kwd-group><counts><fig-count count="1"></fig-count><table-count count="0"></table-count><equation-count count="0"></equation-count><ref-count count="72"></ref-count><page-count count="6"></page-count></counts></article-meta></front><body><sec id="sec1-1"><title>Introduction</title><p>World Health Organization (WHO) reported that an estimated number of 10 million people will die of cancer in 2018, with the availability of treatment services for more than 90% of highincome countries compared to less than 30% of low-income countries.<sup><xref rid="ref1" ref-type="bibr">1</xref></sup> To keep pace with this rapidly increasing rate, the development of combating strategies against cancer is of an utmost importance. The discovery of a new drug against cancer is a tedious process in terms of cost and duration, with a low probability to enter Phase I clinical trials.<sup><xref rid="ref2" ref-type="bibr">2</xref></sup> Moreover, most of the new chemotherapeutics have a negative impact on the quality of life due to their toxicity issues.<sup><xref rid="ref3" ref-type="bibr">3</xref></sup></p><p>Drug repurposing (also called <italic>Drug repositioning</italic>) is the idea of using a previously approved FDA (Food and Drug Administration) drug in a different disorder or disease away from its initial use. These repurposed drugs have been extensively studied for their efficacy, toxicity, and safety. This consequently leads to saving time and money and accelerate their entry to experimental clinical trials.<sup><xref rid="ref4" ref-type="bibr">4</xref></sup> Thalidomide is a clear example that has been initially used for the treatment of motion sickness and then was withdrawn for its teratogenic effect.<sup><xref rid="ref5" ref-type="bibr">5</xref></sup> Following further experimental studies, Thalidomide has been repositioned and approved by the FDA for the treatment of leprosy and multiple myeloma.<sup><xref rid="ref5" ref-type="bibr">5</xref></sup> This emphasizes the importance and practicality of applying the idea of drug repurposing.

Imipramine, a TCA, was the first reported drug for the treatment of depression in 1957.<sup><xref rid="ref21" ref-type="bibr">21</xref></sup> It is also used in Attention Deficit Hyperactive Disorder (ADHD) in children, by inhibiting Norepinephrine and Serotonin reuptake.<sup><xref rid="ref22" ref-type="bibr">22</xref></sup></p></sec><sec id="sec2-2"><title>Anticonvulsants and anti-epileptics</title><p>The history of anticonvulsants goes back to 1857 when Edward Sieveking discovered the potential of using Potassium Bromide in treating Catamenial epilepsy.<sup><xref rid="ref23" ref-type="bibr">23</xref></sup> On the other hand, the antiepileptic efficacy of Barbiturates was discovered accidentally in 1912 by Albert Hauptmann, who observed its effect on reducing the frequency of seizures in epileptic patients.<sup><xref rid="ref24" ref-type="bibr">24</xref></sup> The discovery of the anticonvulsant properties of Phenytoin in 1938 was a great leap forward in the treatment of epilepsy due to the fact that Phenytoin has shown efficacy in patients who did not respond to barbiturates and bromides.
