Popis: Background/aim In recent years, the search for new anticancer experimental agents derived from natural products or synthetic analogues, such as resorcinolic lipids, has received increased attention. The present study aimed to evaluate the antitumor potential, describe the cell death mechanism and the effects of 3-Heptyl-3,4,6-trimethoxy-3Hisobenzofuran-1-one (AMS35AA) in combination with different chemotherapeutic agents in the MCF-7 cell line. Materials and methods Analysis of cytotoxic, genotoxic, membrane integrity, cell death and gene expression induced by the compound was performed. Results The AMS35AA and its association with 5-FU demonstrated reduction of cell viability; increase of cell death; enhancement of genomic damage and accumulation of cells in G2/M phase. Conclusion AMS35AA has potential for breast cancer treatment since it is capable of exerting cytotoxic and cytostatic effects in a breast cell line and also could be an adjuvant in cancer therapy when combined with 5-FU.
