Abstract

Lymphoma is a form of Cancer that impacts the lymphatic system, which plays a crucial role in defending the body against infections and illnesses. It is characterized by the atypical proliferation of lymphocytes, a type of white blood cell, which can form tumors in the lymph nodes, bone marrow, spleen, etc. Lymphoma is usually treated using a combination of targeted therapy, chemotherapy, and radiation therapy. In recent years, there has been a growing interest in the development of new drugs to treat lymphoma, which has led to the discovery of several promising compounds. The primary targets for lymphoma treatment have been identified as Bruton's tyrosine kinase (Btk), phosphoinositide3-kinase (PI3K), histone deacetylase (HDAC), and DNA Polymerase (POLA). This review aims to provide an overview of the clinical applications and synthesis of several notable drugs approved to treat lymphoma, to expedite the exploration of more potent novel medications for the management of lymphoma.
