Abstract
Background: Breast cancer is the most frequently diagnosed type of cancer in women, accounting for 2.1 million cases, and stands as the fifth leading cause of death. Several treatment strategies are available, such as surgical resection, radiation, hormonal therapy, and conventional chemotherapy; however, these are associated with severe adverse effects in the patients.
Objectives: This review aims to summarize the different studies (in vitro, in vivo, and new patents) concerning the therapeutic potential of plant polyphenolics in the management of breast cancer, published in the period from January 2016 to January 2021. Moreover, this review will focus on the underlying mechanisms of action and molecular characteristics of these compounds.
Methods: The data of this review were collected from different scientific databases, such as Pub- Med, Science Direct, Google Scholarship, SciFinder, and Egyptian Knowledge Bank (EKB).
Results: During the period 2016-2021, in the in vitro studies, investigation on 52 compounds of polyphenolic nature with promising anti-breast cancer activity has been conducted, while 14 compounds have been reported via in vivo studies. Besides, about 15 compounds have been registered as patent drugs. Different mechanisms of action and molecular targets have been reported, providing a clarified basis and precise reflection of the anticancer properties of these compounds against breast cancer.
Conclusion: Polyphenolics represent a comprehensive source of anticancer lead compounds against the progression of breast cancer invasion and metastasis.

Aims & Scope
Recent Patents on Anti-Cancer Drug Discovery publishes review and research articles that reflect or deal with studies in relation to a patent, application of reported patents in a study, discussion of comparison of results regarding application of a given patent, etc., and also guest edited thematic issues on recent patents in the field of anti-cancer drug discovery e.g. on novel bioactive compounds, analogs, targets & predictive biomarkers & drug efficacy biomarkers. The journal also publishes book reviews of eBooks and books on anti-cancer drug discovery. A selection of important and recent patents on anti-cancer drug discovery is also included in the journal. The journal is essential reading for all researchers involved in anti-cancer drug design and discovery. The journal also covers recent research (where patents have been registered) in fast emerging therapeutic areas/targets & therapeutic agents related to anti-cancer drug discovery.
