Cervical Cancer remains a women's health concern worldwide and ranks among the most prevalent cancers, particularly in developing countries. Many women are diagnosed with cervical cancer, with a substantial number succumbing to the disease even after the availability of vaccines and drugs. The tumour microenvironment often exhibits immune evasion, including suppression of T-cell activity and altered cytokine, impacting the efficacy of therapeutic interventions and highlighting the need for treatments to modulate the immune response. Despite efforts to promote HPV vaccination and regular screenings, it causes many deaths, underscoring the urgent need for continued research, healthcare access, and rapid drug development or repurposing. In this study, we identified various proteins involved in cervical cancer cell cycle regulation and DNA replication proteins, performed the multitargeted docking with an FDA-approved library, and identified Oxidopamine HBr as a multitargeted drug. Studies extended with pharmacokinetics and compared with the standard values followed by DFT, which supported the compound as a multitargeted inhibitor. Further, the docked complexes were taken for the interaction fingerprints, and it was identified that there are many 9 polar, 5 hydrophobic, 2 aromatic, and 2 basic residues. We extended our studies for 100ns MD Simulation in water, and the computations explored the deviation and fluctuations under 2Å and many intermolecular interactions; the same trajectory files were used for the MM\GBSA studies. All the studies have supported the Oxidopamine HBr as a cervical cancer multitargeted inhibitor-however, experimental studies are needed before human use.
