dc.description.abstractBreast cancer treatments are limited by the cancer subtype and its selectivity towards tumor cells, hence the importance of finding compounds that increase the survival of healthy cells and target any subtype. Incomptine A (IA) is a sesquiterpene lactone with demonstrated cytotoxic activity. In this study, through in vitro assays, it was observed that IA has similar cytotoxic activity between the subtypes triple negative, HER2+, and luminal A of the breast cancer cell lines. IA cytotoxic activity is higher in cancer than in nontumorigenic cells, and its selectivity index for cancer cells is more than that of the drug doxorubicin. Molecular docking and its in silico comparison with the 2-Deoxyglucose inhibitor suggest that IA could bind to Hexokinase II (HKII), decreasing its expression. Since we did not find changes in the expression of the glycolytic pathway, we suppose that IA could affect the antiapoptotic function of HKII in cancer cells. The IA-HKII union would activate the voltage-gated anion channel 1 (VDAC1), resuming apoptosis. Therefore, we suggest that IA could be used against almost any subtype and that its cytotoxic effect could be due to the reactivation of apoptosis in breast cancer cells
