Green Synthesis of New Pyrrolo [1,2-a] quinoxalines as Antiproliferative Agents in GPER-expressing Breast Cancer Cells
4,5-Dihydropyrrolo [1,2-a]quinoxalines are interesting druggable scaffolds, with multifaceted biological properties, including anticancer properties targeting the G protein-coupled estrogen receptor 1 (GPER). In this work, the synthesis and preliminary antiproliferative activity of a small set of ne...
