Breast cancer is an aggressive and primary cause of death among women globally. Triple negative breast cancer (TNBC) is one of the sub types of breast cancer. TNBC lacks the expression of progesterone receptor (PR), estrogen receptor (ER), and human epidermal factor 2 (HER2), which leads to poor diagnosis resulting in lack of targeted therapies. On the other hand, natural products are also cost efficient, non-toxic, and abundantly available in nature. Natural products have also been reported to exert various pharmacological activities including cardioprotective, anti-diabetic, antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, etc. In this chapter, summarization of 12 well known natural products such as chebulinic acid, maslinic acid, apigenin, piperlongumine, Liquiritigenin, berberine, icariin, bufalin, which are targeted against TNBC through regulation of different pathways, and their mechanism are briefly explained. These natural products are already used to treat various diseases at the preclinical level and also have shown to have effective anti-tumor effect and can act as potent anti-TNBC agents.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
