extracts are well known for their wide range of nutritional and medicinal benefits, including anti-diabetic, anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and anti-cancerous properties. Yet, its efficacy against breast cancer has not been well-studied so far. Hence this study aims to investigate the anti-cancer properties of phytochemicals from the bark extract of the tree against BBOX1, a protein that stimulates the growth of Triple Negative Breast Cancer (TNBC) cells.

However, achieving selectivity remains a formidable challenge, primarily due to the structural similarity of ATP binding pockets among kinases. Allosteric inhibition, which involves targeting binding pockets beyond the ATP-binding site, provides a promising alternative to overcome this challenge.

Thereby, understanding the molecular basis of MTB virulence and disease pathogenesis is critical for developing effective therapeutic strategies. Targeting proteins involved in central metabolism has been recognized as a promising therapeutic approach to combat MTB.
