Pyrrole‐Tethered Bisbenzoxazole Derivatives: Apoptosis‐Inducing Agents Targeting Breast Cancer Cells

Chemical Biology and Drug Design

Design and synthesis of pyrrole-tethered bisbenzoxazole (PTB) derivatives reveal potent anticancer activity against MCF-7 breast cancer cells. Compounds B8 , B14 , and B18 exhibit ~20-fold lower IC 50 values than tamoxifen, induce early-stage apoptosis, and arrest the cell cycle at the G1 phase via caspase-9 activation. These findings position PTB derivatives as promising candidates for targeted breast cancer therapy.
