Abstract Background Breast cancer (BC) is the second most common type of cancer worldwide. Among targeted therapies for Hormone Receptor-positive (HR+) and Human Epidermal growth factor Receptor 2-negative (HER2−) BC, the Cyclin-Dependent Kinases (CDK4/6) are targeted by inhibitors such as Ribociclib (Rib); however, resistance to CDK4/6 inhibitors frequently develops. The aim of this work is to assess in vitro activity of Rib and Everolimus (Eve) in HR+HER2− MCF-7 and HR−HER2−BT-549 BC cell lines. Methods HR+HER2− MCF-7 and HR−HER2− BT-549 BC cell lines were treated with increasing concentration of Rib and Eve (up to 80 μg/mL) for 48–72 h. Subsequently, HR+HER2− MCF-7 cells were silenced for Retinoblastoma (Rb) gene, and thus, the effect of Rib in sequential or concurrent schedule with Eve for the treatment of both Rb wild type or Rb knock-down MCF-7 in vitro was evaluated. Cell viability of HR+HER2− MCF-7cells treated with sequential and concurrent dosing schedule was analyzed by MTT assay. Moreover, cell cycle phases, cell death and senescence were evaluated by cytofluorimetric analysis after treatment with Rib or Eve alone or in combination. Results The sequential treatment didn’t produce a significant increase of cytotoxicity, compared to Rib alone. Instead, the cotreatment synergized to increase the cytotoxicity compared to Rib alone. The cotreatment reduced the percentage of cells in S and G2/M phases and induced apoptosis. Rib triggered senescence and Eve completely reversed this effect in Rb wild type BC cells. Rib also showed Rb-independent effects as shown by results in Rb knock-down MCF-7. Conclusion Overall, the Rib/Eve concurrent therapy augmented the in vitro cytotoxic effect, compared to Rib/Eve sequential therapy or single treatments.

A bottom-up approach for synthesizing silver nanoparticles (AgNPs-GA) phytomediated by Garcinia atroviridis leaf extract is described. Under optimized conditions, the AgNPs-GA were synthesized at a concentration of 0.1 M silver salt and 10% (w/v) leaf extract, 1:4 mixing ratio of reactants, pH 3, temperature 32 °C and 72 h reaction time. The AgNPs-GA were characterized by various analytical techniques and their size was determined to be 5–30 nm. FTIR spectroscopy indicates the role of phenolic functional groups in the reduction of silver ions into AgNPs-GA and in supporting their subsequent stability. The UV-Visible spectrum showed an absorption peak at 450 nm which reflects the surface plasmon resonance (SPR) of AgNPs-GA and further supports the stability of these biosynthesized nanoparticles. SEM, TEM and XRD diffractogram analyses indicate that AgNPs-GA were spherical and face-centered-cubic in shape. This study also describes the efficacy of biosynthesized AgNPs-GA as anti-proliferative agent against human breast cancer cell lines, MCF-7 and MCF-7/TAMR-1. Our findings indicate that AgNPs-GA possess significant anti-proliferative effects against both the MCF-7 and MCF-7/TAMR-1 cell lines, with inhibitory concentration at 50% (IC50 values) of 2.0 and 34.0 µg/mL, respectively, after 72 h of treatment. An induction of apoptosis was evidenced by flow cytometry using Annexin V-FITC and propidium iodide staining. Therefore, AgNPs-GA exhibited its anti-proliferative activity via apoptosis on MCF-7 and MCF-7/TAMR-1 breast cancer cells in vitro. Taken together, the leaf extract from Garcinia atroviridis was found to be highly capable of producing AgNPs-GA with favourable physicochemical and biological properties.

A series of 2-arylidene-N-(quinolin-6-yl)hydrazine-1-carboxamides 5a–5o were synthesized and characterized. The synthesized compounds (5a–5o) were screened in vitro against three breast cancer cell lines: SKBR3, MDA-MB-231, and MCF-7 cancer cell lines by the MTT assay. According to MTT results, compounds 5k and 5l showed better antiproliferative activities over MCF-7 cell lines with IC50 values of 8.50 and 12.51 μM. Colony formation assay indicated 5k/5l treatment obviously inhibited the growth of MCF-7 cells and 5k/5l-induced cell cycle was arrested in the G2-M phase. Moreover, 5k/5l significantly increased the level of cleaved PARP and induced the apoptosis in MCF-7 cells. In addition, compared to Hela cells, MCF-7 cells were more sensitive to 5k/5l treatment.

Abstract Background and objectives: Breast cancer presents high morbidity among women with various treatment challenges. This study aims to evaluate the repurposed lamotrigine schiff base metal (LTG-SB-M) coordinates against in-vitro MCF-7 breast cancer cell lines and in-vivo N-methylnitrosourea (NMU)-persuaded toxicity of rats’ mammary gland. Method: In-silico computational analysis and in vitro cytotoxic studies on MCF-7 breast cancer cell lines was executed to build up the assumptions. In-vivo NMU-induced anticancer potential was assessed in forty Wistar rats; assigned into five groups of 8 rats each. Group I served as normal control and received normal saline, Group II received NMU (50 mg/kg), Group III received tamoxifen, whereas; Group IV and V received LTG-SB-M derivative (LAC3, LBC3) at dose of 100 mg/kg body weight, for 15 consecutive days. Intraperitoneal injection of NMU (single dose) was given at the age of 5, 9 and 13 weeks to the rats with the three week interval. For all experimental animals; biochemical markers were assessed. DNA strand breakage alongside the hormonal profile of estrogen and progesterone was also estimated. Results: All tested compounds present significant activity against MCF-7 cell lines in vitro and NMU-induced mammary tumor in vivo. The in vivo results of tested compounds present a significant decrease in weight of organ; with reinstated renal and hepatic enzymes. Histological analysis revealed strong countenance of proteins, estrogen, and progesterone in NMU-treated rats. Conclusion: These results suggest that LTG-SB-M complex can be used as better anticancer agent against breast cancer.

Aims: Development of 1-[(1R, 2S)-2-fluorocyclopropyl]ciprofloxacin-1,2,4-triazole-5(4H)- thione hybrids as potential dual-acting mechanism anticancer agent to overcome the drug resistance. Background: Chemotherapy is an essential tool for the treatment of lung and female breast cancers, and numerous anticancer agents have been launched for this purpose. However, the clinical outcomes of chemotherapy are usually far from satisfactory due to the side effects and resistance to chemotherapeutic drugs. Thus, it is urgent to develop novel anti-lung and anti-breast cancer agents. Background: Chemotherapy is an essential tool for the treatment of lung and female breast cancers, and numerous anticancer agents have been launched for this purpose. However, the clinical outcomes of chemotherapy are usually far from satisfactory due to the side effects and resistance to chemotherapeutic drugs. Thus, it is urgent to develop novel anti-lung and anti-breast cancer agents. Objective: The primary objective of this study was to evaluate the potential of bis-isatin scaffolds with alkyl/ether linkers between the two isatin moieties against different human breast cancer cell lines including A549, MCF-7 and their drug-resistant counterparts A549/CDDP, MCF-7/ADM cells. Methods: The 1-[(1R, 2S)-2-fluorocyclopropyl]ciprofloxacin-(4-methyl/phenyl/benzyl-3-aryl)-1,2,4- triazole-5(4H)-thione hybrids were screened for their in vitro activity against drug-sensitive lung (A549), breast (MCF-7) and their drug-resistant counterparts A549/CDDP (cisplatin-resistant), MCF- 7/ADM (doxorubicin-resistant) cancer cell lines by MTT assay. The inhibitory activity of these hybrids against topoisomerase II and EGFR was also evaluated to investigate the potential mechanism of action of these hybrids. Result: The most prominent hybrid 7k (IC50: 37.28-49.05 µM) was comparable to Vorinostat against A549 and A549/CDDP lung cancer cells, and was 2.79-2.94 times more active than Vorinostat against MCF-7 and MCF-7/ADM breast cancer cell lines. Moreover, hybrid 7k (IC50: 8.6 and 16.4 µM) also demonstrated dual inhibition against topoisomerase II and EGFR. Conclusion: The 1-[(1R, 2S)-2-fluorocyclopropyl]ciprofloxacin-1,2,4-triazole-5(4H)-thione hybrids possess equally activity against both drug-sensitive cancer cells and their drug-resistant counterparts, and the majority of them were no inferior to the reference Vorinostat. The mechanistic study revealed that these hybrids could inhibit both topoisomerase II and EGFR, so these hybrids can be developed as dual-acting mechanism anticancer agents.

Background: Some reports have demonstrated the role of the G Protein-coupled Estrogen Receptor (GPER) in growth and proliferation of breast cancer cells. Objective: In an effort to develop new therapeutic strategies against breast cancer, we employed an in silico study to explore the binding modes of tetrahydroquinoline 2 and 4 to be compared with the reported ligands G1 and G1PABA. Methods: This study aimed to design and filter ligands by in silico studies determining their Lipinski's rule, toxicity and binding properties with GPER to achieve experimental assays as anti-proliferative compounds of breast cancer cell lines. Results: In silico studies suggest as promissory two tetrahydroquinoline 2 and 4 which contain a carboxyl group instead of the acetyl group (as is needed for G1 synthesis), which add low (2) and high hindrance (4) chemical moieties to explore the polar, hydrophobic and hindrance effects. Docking and molecular dynamics simulations of the target compounds were performed with GPER to explore their binding mode and free energy values. In addition, the target small molecules were synthesized and assayed in vitro using breast cancer cells (MCF-7 and MDA-MB-231). Experimental assays showed that compound 2 decreased cell proliferation, showing IC50 values of 50µM and 25µM after 72h of treatment of MCF-7 and MDA-MB-231 cell lines, respectively. Importantly, compound 2 showed a similar inhibitory effect on proliferation as G1 compound in MDA-MB-231 cells, suggesting that both ligands reach the GPER-binding site in a similar way, as was demonstrated through in silico studies. Conclusion: A concentration-dependent inhibition of cell proliferation occurred with compound 2 in the two cell lines regardless of GPER.
