anti-TNBC agent-1 is a highly effective compound specifically designed to target and combat triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC). It demonstrates remarkable potency against various breast cancer cell types, with IC50 values spanning from 0.20 μM to 0.27 μM. The mechanism of action of anti-TNBC agent-1 involves inducing apoptosis in SUM-159 cells through the mitochondria pathway, as well as causing G1 phase arrest in these cells.

anti-TNBC agent-1 (compound 7) exhibits potent activity against MDA-MB231, SUM-159, MCF-7, Bcap-37, 4T1 cells with IC 50 values ranging from 0.20 μM to 0.27 μM. anti-TNBC agent-1 shows 11.6- to 18.6-fold improvement comparing to that of the parent compound parthenolide with IC50 values of 2.68-4.63 μM. anti-TNBC agent-1 is more active than the positive control drug Adriamycin (ADR)[1]. anti-TNBC agent-1 (2 μM and 5 μM; 48 hours; SUM-159 cells) exhibits significant stronger effect on induction of cell apoptosis compared with that of Parthenolide[1]. anti-TNBC agent-1 has selective cytotoxicity against breast cancer cells (IC 50 =0.22 μM) being compared with 3T3 cells (IC 50 =8.13 μM)[1].
