Article Synopsis
  • The Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway is important for cancer growth and baby development, and when it goes wrong, it can make cancer worse!* -
  • Researchers used computer simulations to find compounds that can stop the β-catenin protein, which is involved in cancer, and tested 313 different substances!* -
  • Some compounds like glycyrrhizic acid and solanine showed promise in binding to the β-catenin protein, but they might not be easy to take as medicine!*

This systematic review identified various bioactive compounds which have the potential to serve as novel drugs or leads against acute myeloid leukemia. Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is a heterogeneous hematopoietic malignancy that arises from the dysregulation of cell differentiation, proliferation, and cell death. The risk factors associated with the onset of AML include long-term exposure to radiation and chemicals such as benzene, smoking, genetic disorders, blood disorders, advancement in age, and others.
