    Identifying EphA2-Targeted Lead Compound in Breast Cancer
    (IJERT, 2025) Mohd Nehal, Jahanarah Khatoon, Salman Akhtar, Mohammad Kalim Ahmad Khan
    Ephrin Type-A receptor 2 (EphA2) plays a crucial role in breast cancer cell survival and proliferation, making it a promising therapeutic target. EphA2 overexpression is associated with poor prognosis and metastatic behavior in melanoma, lung, prostate, brain, breast cancer, and leukemia. In silico analysis identified Mcule- 8617639093 as a potent EphA2 inhibitor. Through proliferation assays targeting EphA2 in MDA-MB-231 breast cancer cells, we found that the virtually identified lead molecule significantly bound to EphA2- overexpressing breast cancer cells at different concentrations. The efficacy of the compound was validated using MTT assays and annexin-V/PI staining. These findings contribute to the development of EphA2- targeted therapies.
