Comprehensive Evaluation of Usnic Acid as a Potential Drug Candidate for Triple-Negative Breast Cancer: Insights from Transcriptomic, Proteomic, and In Vivo Analyses
In light of the findings, this study constitutes the first comprehensive integrated transcriptomic and proteomic evaluation of usnic acid in TNBC, supported by functional and in vivo validation. Collectively, the results position usnic acid as a compelling therapeutic candidate that has successfully passed key in vitro and in vivo preclinical evaluations, warranting further investigation in advanced preclinical models and potential translation toward clinical development for TNBC.
