<p dir="ltr">Titanocene(IV)-NSAID complexes Cp<sub>2</sub>Ti(mefenamate)<sub>2</sub> (<b>4</b>) and Cp<sub>2</sub>Ti(flufenamate)<sub>2</sub> (<b>5</b>) show enhanced redox stability and potent cytotoxicity against breast cancer stem cells (CSCs), with <b>5</b> rivaling salinomycin and cisplatin. Complex <b>5</b> induces DNA damage and apoptosis, and its nanoparticle encapsulation improves biocompatibility. This is the first report targeting breast CSCs with titanocene-based metallodrugs.</p>
