Quinazolinones, particularly 9-azaglycophymines, and closely related derivatives and precursors were tested in vitro against various breast cancer cell lines representing the major types of breast tumors. Among the 49 compounds tested, azaglycophymine derivative 19 with an electron-withdrawing substituent demonstrated the most significant anti-proliferative effects, with IC values of around 4 µM. Extensive cell-based investigations revealed that compound 19 induced caspase-dependent apoptosis in HCC1937 (human TNBC), BT-474 (human HER2+/HR+), and 4T1 (mouse TNBC) cells.

Three newly synthesized triphenyltin(IV) compounds, Ph3SnL1 (L1- = 3-(4-methyl-2-oxoquinolin-1(2)-yl)propanoato), Ph3SnL2 (L2- = 2-(4-methyl-2-oxoquinolin-1(2)-yl)ethanoato), and Ph3SnL3 (L3- = 2-(4-hydroxy-2-oxoquinolin-1(2)-yl)ethanoato), were characterized by elemental microanalysis, FT-IR spectroscopy and multinuclear (H, C and Sn) NMR spectroscopy. A single X-ray diffraction study indicates that compounds Ph3SnL1 and Ph3SnL2 exhibit a 1D zig-zag chain polymeric structure, which in the case of Ph3SnL2 is additionally stabilized by π-interactions. In addition, the synthesized compounds were further examined using density functional theory and natural bond orbital analysis.

, an organo-diiron(I) complex, showed strong cytotoxicity across a panel of human and mouse cancer cell lines, combined with an outstanding selectivity compared to nonmalignant cells. Enhanced iron uptake in aggressive, low-differentiated cell lines, caused membrane lipid peroxidation, which resulted in ferroptosis in human ovarian cancer cells. induced significant morphological changes in murine B16-F1 and B16-F10 melanoma cells, leading to senescence and/or trans-differentiation into Schwann-like cells, thus significantly reducing their tumorigenic potential.

Ethnomedicinal records have long mentioned the historical usage of L. in folk medicine, particularly for the treatment of gynecological issues. Building on this ethnomedicinal knowledge regarding female illnesses, the aim of this research was to evaluate the impact of ethanolic extract of on mouse breast cancer cells (4T1) in vitro and in vivo, in addition to its effect on the immune compartment in the tumor microenvironment.
