Eugenol extraction and characterization from clove as a potential anticancer therapeutic agent against breast cancer: Combining an in vitro and in silico molecular docking and dynamics studies
Breast cancer (BC) is leading cause of cancer-related mortality among women worldwide, with approximately 2.3 million new cases and 670,000 deaths reported in 2022. Despite advances in therapy, challenges such as drug resistance and adverse side effects necessitate the exploration of alternative treatments, particularly from natural sources. Eugenol (EUG), a bioactive compound derived from clove ( Syzygium aromaticum ), has gained attention for its antioxidant and anticancer properties. In this study, EUG was extra …
