STATEMENT AS TO RIGHTS TO INVENTIONS MADE UNDER FEDERALLY SPONSORED RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT [0003] This invention was made with government support under CA1 72667 awarded by the National Institutes of Health. The government has certain rights in the invention. BACKGROUND [0004] In the United States, it is estimated that over 200,000 women will have been diagnosed with breast cancer and nearly 40,000 women will have died of breast cancer in 2016. Studies over the past decade have uncovered certain breast cancer cell-types, such as estrogen/progesterone/HER2 receptor (ER/PR/HER2)-negative (triple-negative) breast cancers (TNBCs) that show poor prognosis and chemotherapy-resistance within breast tumors. Eliminating these breast cancer types are critical in reducing the mortality associated with breast cancer. Disclosed herein, inter alia, are solutions to these and other problems in the art.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS [0014] FIGS. 1A-1D. Screening of dichlorotriazine library in breast cancer cells. (FIG. 1A) Dichlorotriazines have been shown to have preferred reactivity with lysines. A library of 58 dichlorotriazines was synthesized. (FIG. IB) This library was screened (10 µΜ) in 23 1MFP breast cancer cells for impairments in serum-free cell survival after 48 h compared to ACN-treated controls. The top hit from this screen was KEAl-97. (FIG. 1C) KEAl-97 (10 µΜ) impairs 231MFP serum-free cell survival and proliferation after 48 h . (FIG. ID) Counterscreen of hits in MCF10A cells (10 µΜ, 48 h). Data are shown as average ± sem, n=3/group. Significance is expressed as *p<0.05 compared to control. [0015] FIGS. 2A-2D. KEAl-97 targets thioredoxin. (FIG. 2A) IsoTOP-ABPP analysis of KEAl-97 (10 µΜ) in 23 1MFP breast cancer proteomes. Shown are individual isotopically light (acetonitrile-treated) to heavy (KEAl-97-treated) probe-modified peptide ratios for peptides identified in two out of three biological replicates. Structure of KEAl-97 is also shown. (FIG. 2B) Gel-based ABPP studies showing competition of KEAl-97 against DCT- alkyne labeling (100 µΜ) of pure human TXN. Shown is a representative gel and a dose- response curve. (FIG. 2C) TXN activity assay. (D) KEAl-97 displacement of pure thioredoxin and caspase 3 interactions. Pure His-tagged TXN and caspase 3 were pre- incubated with acetonitrile or KEAl-97 (100 µΜ) prior to anti-His pulldown, SDS/PAGE, and blotting for caspase 3 . Input caspase 3 is also shown. Data in (FIGS. 2B and 2C) are shown as average ± sem, data in (FIGS. 2A-2D) is n=3/group. Significance is expressed as *p<0.05 compared to control. [0016] FIGS. 3A-3C. KEAl-97 induces apoptosis and antitumorigenic effects in 23 1MFP breast cancer cells. (FIG. 3A) Caspase 3/7 activation using a CellEvent Caspase 3/7 Green Detection Reagent. (FIG. 3B) KEAl-97 induces apoptosis in 231MFP breast cancer cells assessed by propidium iodine and FITC Annexin-V staining and quantified by flow cytometry. (FIG. 3C) KEAl-97 treatment (10 mg/kg ip once per day) was initiated 16 days after the initiation of 23 1MFP tumor xenografts in immune-deficient SCID mice. Data in (FIGS. 3A-3C) are shown as average ± sem, data is n=3/group in (FIGS. 3A and 3 B) and n=8 mice/group in (C). Significance is expressed as *p<0.05 compared to control. [0017] FIGS. 4A-4B. Screening the dichlorotriazine library in 23 1MFP cells. (FIG. 4A) Cell proliferation screen with dichlorotriazine library. 231MFP cells were treated with DMSO or dichlorotriazine covalent ligands (10 µΜ) and proliferation was assessed after 48 h .
