    Breast cancer is the most prevalent cancer in women, with approximately 2 million new cases and 500,000 deaths annually worldwide.

  • 2

    Aromatase is a key therapeutic target in breast cancer treatment, mediating estrogen synthesis and influencing tumorigenesis.

  • 3

    Newer aromatase inhibitors like letrozole and anastrozole have improved profiles but still face issues like drug resistance and side effects.

  • 4

    Ricinus communis contains bioactive compounds that exhibit anti-proliferative effects against breast cancer cell lines MCF-7 and MDA-MB-231.

  • 5

    Computer-aided drug design (CADD) is utilized to identify novel compounds from R. communis that may inhibit aromatase and offer new treatment options.
