The target protein of eugenol in TNBC cells. (A) Work flow of drug affinity responsive target stability experiment; (B) MDA-MB-231 cells were treated with eugenol (20 μM), and lysates were subject to thermolysin digestion and Coomassie Brilliant Blue staining; (C) Enrichment of proteins in the protected band revealed by mass spectrometry analysis; (D) The DARTS assay for target validation. NF-κB protein stability was increased upon eugenol (20 μM) treatment in MDA-MB-231 lysates. Pronase treatment was conducted for 10, 30, and 60 min; (E) The DARTS assay demonstrated the dose-dependent binding of eugenol to NF-κB. Treatment with pronase (5 μg/mL) performed for 30 min “-” represent without the interference of pronase. “+” represent the interference of pronase.
