  The incidence of breast cancer is amassed in the current era due to the advent in urbanization, increase in sophisticated vicissitude living, and espousal of western lifestyles. Alpha- fetoprotein, a serum glycoprotein produced during embryonic development tends to act as the curative mediator and has anti-estrotrophic properties to inhibit the growth of estrogen- dependent tumor’s in breast cancer and metastasis. This oncofetal protein exhibits pharmaceutical activity during en route cancer metastasis and pathways lead to tumor cell progression and proliferation. In this work, the maximal inhibitory action of the peptide derived from the active site segment, which was previously suggested in experimental works against mice xenografts (8-mer Peptide), was derived from the structural model generated by homology modelling that retains the inhibitory activity exhibited by the deriv..
