Development of 9-(N-arylmethylamino) congeners of noscapine: the microtubule targeting drugs for the management of breast cancer

Pratyush Pragyandipta et al.

Summary: Researchers have developed 9-N-arylmethylamino derivatives of noscapine that can kill cancer cells without affecting normal cells. These derivatives induce apoptosis by arresting cells at G2/M phase and binding to tubulin, showing potential as a novel therapeutic agent for breast cancer treatment.
