HSD17B1 and breast cancer: In this study, we investigated the efficacy of retinoic acid derivatives as inhibitors of 17beta‐hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase type 1 (17beta‐HSD1), which plays a crucial role in the biosynthesis and metabolism of oestrogen and thereby influences the progression of BC and, the main objective of this investigation is to identify the possible drug candidate against BC through computational drug design approach including PASS prediction, molecular docking, ADMET profiling, molecular dynamics simulations (MD) and density functional theory (DFT) calculations.
