Dirty drug
From WikiMD's WELLNESSPEDIA
In pharmacology, a dirty drug is an informal term for drugs that may bind to many different molecular targets or receptors in the body, and so tend to have a wide range of effects and possibly adverse drug reactions. Today, pharmaceutical companies try to make new drugs as selective as possible to minimise binding to antitargets and hence reduce the occurrence of side effects and risk of adverse reactions. Examples of promiscuous cancer drugs include: Sutent, Sorafenib, Zactima, and AG-013736
