Abstract: With the rapid development of medicinal chemistry, bioscience, molecular biology and molecular pharmacology, there are many anti-tumor drugs under research, coming into clinical trials or having been approved. With the discovery of disease-associated mutation sites and signaling pathways, therapeutic approaches to these mutations and signaling pathways have emerged, which is named targeted therapies. Targeted therapies are more accurate than conventional drugs with few side effects, good applicability, and high specificity. However, a series of toxicities associated with therapeutic targets have also emerged. According to the mechanism of action of drugs, this article has summarized the target related toxicity of anti-tumor drugs, and hopes to provide some ideas and suggestions for the safety evaluation of targeted therapy.

Key words: target, toxicity, antineoplastic agent
