New hydrazide derivatives of N‐amino‐11‐azaartemisinin as promising epidermal growth factor receptor inhibitors for therapeutic development in triple‐negative breast cancer

This is the authors' abstract. We don't add key points for this paper.

Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) treatments, such as DNA-damaging agents like carboplatin, pose considerable human toxicity and may contribute to cancer relapse. Artemisinin derivatives offer a less toxic alternative; however, their specific role in TNBC management remains to be established. To address this gap, computational models were employed to design and evaluate artemisinin-based prototypes as potential TNBC therapeutics, aiming to provide safer and more effective treatment options for this aggressive cancer subtype. Among the series of hydrazide derivatives of azaartemisinin (10a-l) reported herein, compound 10j emerged as the most promising, exhibiting notable cytotoxicity with IC
