Targeting triple negative breast cancer heterogeneity with chalcones: a molecular insight.

Abstract

Triple negative breast cancers (TNBCs) are aggressive heterogeneous cancers with not yet determined conventional targeted medication. Therefore, identification of new alternatives or improved treatment options to combat this deadly disease is highly needed. On the other hand, various derived products with chalcone scaffold were historically considered excellent candidates for the development of anticancer drugs. Chalcones unique chemical structure and their substantial biological activities in cancer cells make them an extremely attractive target for the treatment of several human carcinomas including TNBCs. This review highlights the promising therapeutic role of chalcones in TNBC management.
