Microbial amphiphiles: a class of promising new-generation anticancer agents

- Microbial amphiphiles have emerged as new-generation anticancer molecules.
- These molecules modulate apoptosis, cell cycle arrest and angiogenesis.
- These molecules inhibit crucial signaling pathways such as Akt, ERK/JNK and JAK/STAT.
- Hydrophobic and hydrophilic moieties interact with cancer cell membrane components.
