The research for antitumor therapeutics is a timeless topic and keeps pace with times,especially chemotherapy and target therapy.Drug target identification is a key step in the development of effective therapeutic agents.In this issue,we present the current status of some validated and potential targets in drug discovery for developing therapeutic agents as well as some novel compounds for the treatment of cancer.I am indebted to my colleagues for their cooperation and efforts to find time from their busy schedule to contribute to this issue.Also I would like to thank,on behalf of all the contributors,the journal for providing us an opportunity to share our thoughts on these interesting topics and hope this issue will benefit research scientists in their pursues related to these topics.
