As we speak with the University of Texas in El Paso, the CRBCM would like to look further into the clinical use of a potent Inhibitor in a phase I study. We believe this compound will have a significant role in Triple Negative Breast Cancer. Butein, a derivative of Charcone, a powerful anti-Oxidant and known anti-inflammatory used in ASIA, seems to have a global inhibitory effect. It is one of the 3 inhibitors of the SRC, it is a Glutathione inhibitor, Blocker of EGF, inhibitor of IKK, and of the NF-kB signal transduction pathway, cause phosphorylation of the AKT, reduction of Cyclin D1 and D2, activation of WAF1/p21 and KIP1/p27, Iron induced inhibitor of Xanthine Oxidase (love that enzyme since I first learned about Asthma).
This Butein stuff is a global inhibitor. If you add this to MTOR inhibitors, you may end up with too toxic a combination for any cancer! This would be an overwhelming attack on cells!
It has demonstrated powerful Ex-vivo activity against breast and prostate cancer cell lines, and is empirically used against Gastric cancer.
This global and versatile inhibitor, Butein, should have activity in Sarcoma since it inhibits SRC and potentially the fibroblast. Other Inhibitors of SRC, heme supported phosphorylation and CYIKYYF. (of note CDK1, PTRC and PTK2)
Gave you so many letters, lets move to gene Nomenclature please! we are still working hard at the CRBCM!

MYRISTOYLATION, A TRUE COMMITMENT AT THE CELLULAR MEMBRANE!
Proliferation, growth and spread of cancers is mainly driven by phenomena occurring at the membrane. A Molecular structure called SRC or sarc (for sarcoma) is anchored there, and Myristoylation is the process that keep it there. SARC or SRC
Wikipedia suggests:
Proto-oncogene tyrosine-protein kinase Src is an enzyme that in humans is encoded by the SRC gene.[1]
Src (pronounced "sarc" as it is short for sarcoma) is a proto-oncogene encoding a tyrosine kinase originally discovered by J. Michael Bishop and Harold E. Varmus, for which they were awarded the 1989 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine.[2] It belongs to a family of non-receptor tyrosine kinases called Src family kinases. The discovery of Src family proteins has been instrumental to the modern understanding of cancer as a disease where normally healthy cellular signalling has gone awry.
This gene is similar to the v-src gene of Rous sarcoma virus. This proto-oncogene may play a role in the regulation of embryonic development and cell growth. The protein encoded by this gene is a tyrosine-protein kinase whose activity can be inhibited by phosphorylation by c-SRC kinase. Mutations in this gene could be involved in the malignant progression of colon cancer. Two transcript variants encoding the same protein have been found for this gene.[3]

In fact, SRC gene is at the center of Metastatic process through interaction with cell adhesion molecules, growth factors and many signal transduction pathways:
