α −Bisabolol Against Recurrence, Metastasis and Tumour Self-renewal in Triple Negative Breast Cancer
STAT3, a transcription factor hyperactivated in various cancers, regulates critical processes like proliferation, apoptosis, chemoresistance, migration and invasion, epithelial-mesenchymal transition, and maintenance of cancer stem cells (CSCs). In this study, we identify (-)-α-Bisabolol, a natural sesquiterpene alcohol extracted from Matricaria Chamomilla’s oil, as a potential inhibitor of the STAT3 signalling cascade. The effect of (-)-α-bisabolol is evaluated in human triple-negative breast...
