RESUMEN
Breast cancer is the most prevalent diagnosed cancer among women and the main cause of morbidity and mortality. As for breast cancer, MCF-7 cells are an important candidate since they are widely utilized in research for estrogen receptor (ER)-positive breast cancer cell assays, and various sub-clones have been identified to reflect different classes of ER-positive tumors with varied levels of nuclear receptor expression. Rhodamines and its derivatives have shown a great interest over the past two decades due to their excellent structural and spectroscopic properties. Rhodamine derivatives have been widely investigated for their mitochondrial targeting and chemotherapeutic properties. Rhodamine derivatives, in particular, have been widely investigated for their therapeutic properties. In this regard, several studies have shown that rhodamine dye derivatives have promising in vitro and in vivo therapeutic efficacy. The present study deals with potential anticancer activity of few synthesized rhodamine derivatives against MCF-7 cell lines.
