According to the mentioned theories, Lee et al. found out that metformin-butyrate (MFB), a new metformin derivative, showed more effective targeting of the CD44+/high/CD24−/low CSC-like (undifferentiated) population in breast cancer in vitro and in vivo and the inhibition of mammosphere formation, compared to that with metformin [168]. The gene discussed is CD44; the disease is breast carcinoma.
