Colorectal cancer (CRC) ranks third in cancer incidence and cancer-related mortalities worldwide. The transformation of normal colon and rectal cells to malignant adenocarcinomas due to unrepaired DNA damage which leads to oncogenic mutations. These mutations also increase the frequency of DNA damage, leading to endogenous replication stress (RS). This introduces an opportunity to induce sy…

Chemotherapeutic drugs, such as 5- fluorouracil (5-FU), still becomes the main treatment modalities for CRC, despite its rapid elimination rate and diverse adverse reactions. Recently, strategies to establish targeted drug delivery systems for the…
Adverse effects of first-line drugs used for colorectal cancer (CRC) therapy have been persisting as one of the problems in CRC treatment strategies. Drug repurposing is a method that utilizes approved or investigational drugs that were initially not intended for cancer therapy as an alternative treatment. Simvastatin, a HMG-CoA reductase inhibitor, and ethyl extracts of Annona muricata leaves …
