Introduction: Breast cancer is the most common type of cancer globally
and its treatment with many FDA-approved synthetic drugs manifests various side
effects. Alternatively, phytochemicals are natural reserves of novel drugs
for cancer therapy. Punica granatum commonly known as pomegranate is a
rich source of phytopharmaceuticals. Methods: The phytoconstituents
of Punica granatum leaves were profiled using GC-MS/MS in the present
work. Cytoscape-assisted network pharmacology of principal and prognostic
biomarkers, which are immunohistochemically tested in breast cancer tissue, was
carried out for the identification of protein target. Followed by, rigorous
virtual screening of 145 phytoconstituents against the three ER isoforms
