Diosgenin Derivatives Developed from Pd(ii) Catalysed Dehydrogenative Coupling Exert an Effect on Breast Cancer Cells by Abrogating Their Growth and Facilitating Apoptosis via Regulating the AKT1 Pathway

Based on the pharmacological importance of diosgenin, the obtained derivatives were exposed to study their effect on breast cancer cells where they significantly reduced the growth of cancer cells and left non-malignant breast epithelial cells unaffected.
