title: Design, synthesis, and evaluation of novel boronic-chalcone derivatives as antitumor agents.
abstract: A series of boronic-chalcone derivatives were synthesized and tested for antitumor activity against human breast cancer cell lines. The results show the boronic-chalcones are more toxic to breast cancer cells compared to normal breast cells than other known chalcones.
