Thalidomide | Might affect the medullary control centers (the vomiting center and the chemoreceptive trigger zone) or affect the peripheral receptors | Nausea, vomiting of pregnant woman (banned now) | Multiple myeloma by targeting TNF-α |
Metformin | Activate the adenosine monophosphate activated protein kinase (AMPK) signaling pathway | Type-II diabetes mellitus | Mitochondrial respiration, reducing insulin and insulin-like growth factor levels, inhibits mTOR and activate p53, AMPK pathway |
Everolimus | mTOR | Immunosuppressant | In Pancreatic neuroendocrine by targeting mTOR signaling pathway |
Trastuzumab | HER2 | HER2-positive breast cancer | For HER2-positive metastatic gastric cancer |
Aspirin (low dose; 50–100 mg daily) | COX-1 | Prevent Platelets aggregation in cardiovascular disease | Prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) decreased in colon cancer [18], inhibition of platelets to suppress NK cell-mediated lysis of cancer cells [19] |
