Brief Summary   The identified lead AB001 demonstrated a good solubility and an acceptable in vivo PK profile. The identified AB001 showed an in vivo efficacy in mouse triple-negative breast cancer, Acute myeloid leukemia model, Pancreatic cancer model with a TGI (tumor growth inhibition) of 90% without any mortality growth inhibition in comparison to reported leads. Our results show that AB001 is widely scattered across different organs, but it is preferentially internalized by the tumor both in vitro and in vivo. AB001 administration showed a potent in vivo anticancer activity in xenograft mouse models, and the drug accumulated dramatically and preferentially in the tumor. The follow-up studies for 12 months shows there is no relapse of tumor growth in the internal organs.  We demonstrate the effectiveness of AB001 in resensitizing Multiple Drug Resistance breast cancer cells to their original treatment and provide evidence that AB001 may function through a mechanism involving post-translational histone modifications via an indirect histone deacetylase inhibitor (HDACi) activity and selectively target cancer stem cells and induces apoptosis via caspase activity. According to the results, further well-designed clinical studies with dose optimization are now required to stratify the role of this supplement in current Breast Cancer regimens. Our data, together with the apoptotic action of the AB001 on cancer cells, support a rather selective action of AB001 in cancer treatment. According to the results, further well-designed clinical studies with dose optimization are now required to stratify the role of this supplement in current Cancer regimens
