Butein tetramethyl ether
Butein tetramethyl ether (Compound 20) is a potent and selective breast cancer resistance protein/ATP-binding cassette subfamily G member 2 (BCRP/ABCG2) inhibitor. Butein tetramethyl ether has inhibitory potencies against MCF-7 MX and MDCK BCRP cells with IC50 values of 2.2 and 1.03 μM, respectively. Butein tetramethyl ether is promising for research of cancers.

Cell Cytotoxicity Assay
Cytotoxicity assays are usually based on the assessment of cell membrane damage, which can also be indirectly detected by measuring cell viability. Detection methods include MTT assay, CKK-8 assay, LDH assay and ATP assay, etc.

Breast Cancer Modeling
Breast cancer is a heterogeneous cancer, and it has been distinguished into four subtypes: luminal A, luminal B, HER2-positive and basal-like. Molecular mutations, epigenetic alterations, hormone exposure and immune microenvironment are related to the progression of breast cancer.
