合成与阿司匹林富马酸酯前药的表征抑制NFκB活动和乳腺癌干细胞

Overview

This procedure demonstrates the synthesis and characterization of the anti-inflammatory aspirin-fumarate prodrug GTCpFE, which enhances anti-NFkappaB and anti-cancer stem cell activity in breast cancer cells. This method aims to repurpose anti-inflammatory drugs for targeting therapy-resistant breast cancer stem cells.
