  • Publication number: 20240115537
    Abstract: Provided is a pharmaceutical composition for preventing or treating breast cancer including a compound derived from Dendropanax morbiferus. It was confirmed that dihydroconiferyl ferulate, a compound derived from Dendropanax morbiferus of the present disclosure, inhibited the expression of c-Myc known to be characteristically expressed in breast cancer, inhibited the mammosphere formation of breast cancer stem cells, and inhibited an EGFR signaling pathway. Accordingly, the compound inhibits the proliferation of breast cancer cells and inhibits the growth of cancer stem cells, and thus can be usefully used for prevention or treatment of breast cancer.

  • Patent number: 11324706
    Abstract: Disclosed are a composition and a perfume composition for inhibiting growth of breast cancer stem cells containing phenylacetaldehyde or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof as an active (effective) ingredient, and a pharmaceutical composition, a food composition or the like for inhibiting metastasis of breast cancer, or treating or preventing breast cancer, including the composition. The phenylacetaldehyde inhibits growth of breast cancer cells and formation of breast cancer stem cells. In addition, the phenylacetaldehyde inhibits expression of self-renewal genes such as Nanog, Sox2, Oct4, and CD44 known to be specifically expressed in breast cancer stem cells, inhibits production of IL-6 known to be involved in formation of mammospheres of breast cancer stem cells, and inhibits STATS signaling pathways. Accordingly, the compound inhibits growth of breast cancer stem cells and is useful for the treatment of breast cancer.
