However, with early diagnosis and proper treatment, breast cancer has a good prognosis. Here, we investigated the effect of thiosemicarbazide derivatives, previously identified as dual inhibitors targeting topoisomerase II􀀋 and indoleamine-2,3-dioxygenase 1 (IDO 1), on two distinct types of breast cancer cells (MCF-7 and MDA-MB-231) . The investigated compounds (1–3) selectively suppressed the growth of breast cancer cells and promoted apoptosis via caspase-8-and caspase-9-related pathways. Moreover, these compounds caused S-phase cell cycle arrest and dose-dependently inhibited the activity of ATP-binding cassette transporters (MDR1, MRP1/2 and BCRP) in MCF-7 and MDA-MB-231 cells. Additionally, following incubation with compound 1, an increased number of autophagic cells within both types of the investigated breast cancer cells was observed. During preliminary testing of ADME-Tox properties, the possible hemolytic activities of compounds 1–3 and their effects on specific cytochrome P450 enzymes were evaluated.  \nKeywords: breast cancer; thiosemicarbazide derivatives; dual-targeting agents; flow cytometry; ADME-Tox  \n1. Introduction  \nCurrently, cancer is recognized as a leading cause of death worldwide, being responsible for 10 million deaths in 2020 [1] . Additionally, in the same year, breast cancer (BC) became the most frequently diagnosed type of cancer, with nearly 2.3 million new cases. However, with early diagnosis and proper treatment, BC has a good prognosis. One of the most widely recognized classifications of BC is based on the immunohistochemical expression of estrogen receptors (ER), progesterone receptors (PR) and human epidermal growth factor receptors (HER2) . Among the four classified subtypes of BC, luminal A and luminal B subtypes are ER and/or PR positive and the HER2 subtype is characterized by high HER2 expression and a lack of ER/PR, while triple-negative BC (TNBC) is characterized by the absence of ER/PR and HER2 overexpression [2] . Depending on the type and grade of BC, its treatment includes surgery, radiation and systemic therapy (chemotherapy, hormone therapy, immunotherapy and targeted biological therapy) . Pharmacological treatment can be applied before or after the surgical intervention, i.e., as neoadjuvant or adjuvant therapy, respectively. The main objective of chemotherapy in BC is to destroy cancer ce","cbCaimGdg8KdCu33","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaimGdg8KdCu33","pdf",5924960,22,"English","# Abstract\n# 1.
