Abstract
Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) plays a vital role in the innate immune response, but its overactivation has been associated with several diseases, such as aggressive progression of triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC). As a result, inhibiting TLR4 has emerged as a potential therapeutic strategy for this challenging breast cancer subtype. This review summarizes recent advancements in the development of small-molecule TLR4 antagonists to suppress TNBC growth, metastasis, and chemotherapy resistance. We also examine their potential in managing cancer-related complications and propose future directions for their application in TNBC therapy.
期刊介绍:
Bioorganic & Medicinal Chemistry provides an international forum for the publication of full original research papers and critical reviews on molecular interactions in key biological targets such as receptors, channels, enzymes, nucleotides, lipids and saccharides.
The aim of the journal is to promote a better understanding at the molecular level of life processes, and living organisms, as well as the interaction of these with chemical agents. A special feature will be that colour illustrations will be reproduced at no charge to the author, provided that the Editor agrees that colour is essential to the information content of the illustration in question.
