Structure-activity studies on therapeutic potential of thymoquinone analogs in pancreatic cancer

Purpose: Pancreatic cancer (PC) is one of the deadliest of all tumors. Previously, we were the first to show that Thymoquinone (TQ) derived from black seed (Nigella sativa) oil has anti-tumor activity against PC. However, the concentration of TQ required
