RESUMEN
Multi-target drug treatment has become popular as a substitute for traditional monotherapy. Monotherapy can lead to resistance and side effects. Multi-target drug discovery is gaining importance as data on bioactivity becomes more abundant. The design of multi-target drugs is expected to be an important development in the pharmaceutical industry in the near future. This review presents multi-target compounds against trypanosomatid parasites (Trypanosoma cruzi, T. brucei, and Leishmania sp.) and tuberculosis (Mycobacterium tuberculosis), which mainly affect populations in socioeconomically unfavorable conditions. The article analyzes the studies, including their chemical structures, viral strains, and molecular docking studies, when available. The objective of this review is to establish a foundation for designing new multi-target inhibitors for these diseases.
