Abstract

Microtubule-targeting drugs have emerged as pivotal therapeutic agents in treating a wide array of cellular diseases. This abstract delves into the revolutionary potential of these drugs in addressing diverse pathological conditions. By elucidating the critical role of microtubules in cellular functions such as cell division, intracellular transport, and structural support, the mechanisms through which microtubule-targeting drugs exert their effects are explored. The abstract further discusses the impact of these drugs on diseases, including cancer, neurodegenerative disorders, and parasitic infections, highlighting their versatility and promising outcomes in clinical settings. Additionally, considerations regarding drug development, challenges, and future directions for optimising their efficacy and minimising adverse effects are contemplated. Ultimately, these abstract underscores the transformative potential of microtubule-targeting drugs in reshaping therapeutic strategies and improving outcomes for various cellular diseases.
