(57) [Summary]nThe present invention relates to a number of natural or synthetic chalcones and saturated and unsaturated linear or branched fatty acids containing up to 22 carbon atoms in the treatment and prevention of uterine, ovarian and breast tumors. It relates to the use of esters, as well as the formulations containing them. Chalcones such as isocordoin, cordoin, 2-hydroxyderricin, 2 ', 4'-dihydroxychalcone, 4,2', 4'-trihydroxychalcone have marked affinity for the type II estrogen receptor as well as uterus, ovary , And has antiproliferative activity against breast tumor cell lines.
