Abstract
Breast cancer is the most often diagnosed malignancy worldwide and the leading cause of cancer-related deaths in women. Chemotherapeutic resistance may hinder the efficacy of therapies for breast cancer, therefore finding novel therapeutic approaches is crucial. Terpenoids are widely distributed throughout the kingdom of plants and constitute a vast array of secondary metabolites mostly composed of isoprenoid components. Terpenoids are known to have a wide spectrum of biological features. Based on the structure, terpenoids are divided into six classes. Potent natural terpenoids have been widely acknowledged as key components of contemporary breast cancer pharmacotherapy. Several compounds within this class hold promise as viable agents against breast cancer. These substances now hold promise as therapeutic agents due to significant advancements in the elucidation of the precise mechanism behind their anticancer effect. Therefore, this chapter aims to present a current summary of the most recent advances in terpenoids' potential benefits against breast cancer. Furthermore, this review offers recommendations for the development of specific terpenoids as possible medicines for breast cancer in the future.
