## Abstract Recent evidence assigns integrins and metalloproteinases (MMPs) an important role in regulating tumor cell progression. Here, we demonstrate that 3‐__O__‐methylfunicone (OMF), a secondary metabolite produced by __Penicillium pinophilum__, affects cell proliferation and motility of breas
