Introduction: Different types of cancer are caused by mutations in various types of genes, including those that regulate cell growth and division. Some of these mutations affect protein kinases, activating them and thus mediating a number of cancer cell activities. To neutralize their activating effect, kinase inhibitors have been developed and are used as anticancer drugs. However, in recent years, several studies have reported multiple cases of drug resistance, and new drugs are urgently needed. One strategy to identify new kinase inhibitors consists of repositioning drugs used in other pathologies as anticancer drugs. However, to date, it has not been reported which non-cancer drugs have been successfully repositioned as kinase inhibitors. Methodology: PRISMA guidelines for exploratory reviews were followed. The bibliographic databases used were PubMed/Medline, Scopus, ScienceDirect, ProQuest and EBSCO. The following sequence of words was used: (repurposing OR repurposing OR repositioning) AND kinase /AND cancer. The most relevant information was extracted from the selected articles and a narrative synthesis of the results was presented. Results: out of a total of 590 articles identified, 29 were included for the development of the scoping review. According to the results, the drug repositioning method has been used on 18 cancer-associated kinases and 28 drugs are proposed as possible kinase inhibitors. Eight of them still require in vitro and in vivo validation studies, but the remaining ones could be considered as potential therapeutic alternatives in cancer treatment.
