Methods: A novel series of isoxazole (S21-S30) derivatives were designed, synthesized and screened
for their anticancer activity against estrogen receptor-positive MCF-7 and negative MDA-MB-435 breast cancer
cell lines. The synthesized derivative has the ability to inhibit the growth of the human breast cancer cell line at
low concentrations. In vivo anticancer activity was performed on virgin female sprague dawley rats.
Results:
The result shows that compound S23 has more selectivity and marked estrogen modulator activity than
the standard tamoxifen.
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.
