Özet
Breast cancer remains a major health challenge due to the heterogeneity of tumor subtypes and the limited efficacy of single-target therapeutic approaches. In this study, a new series of polymethoxy rhodanines was designed and synthesized, and their anticancer potential was evaluated against MCF-7 and MDA-MB-231 breast cancer cell lines, together with healthy HEK-293 cell line. Among the tested derivatives, compound 2 emerged as the most promising candidate, exhibiting potent cytotoxic activity against MCF-7 (IC50 = 17.38 ± 2.02 µM) and MDA-MB-231 (IC50 = 27.30 ± 1.04 µM) cells, along with high selectivity indices of 30.8 and 19.6, respectively, compared to HEK-293 cells. To predict the molecular basis of its activity, compound 2 was subjected to computational studies targeting estrogen receptor alpha (ERα) and vascular endothelial growth factor receptor 2 (VEGFR2). Induced-fit docking and …
