Wnt Signaling Inhibitor APL-5125

**Semantic type:** Pharmacologic Substance

**Definition:** An orally bioavailable small molecule kinase inhibitor of the Wnt signaling pathway, with potential antineoplastic activity. Upon oral administration, Wnt signaling inhibitor APL-5125 targets and binds to an as of yet undisclosed kinase in the Wnt signaling pathway, thereby preventing Wnt-mediated signaling. This may inhibit growth of tumor cells in which the Wnt signaling pathway is overactivated. The Wnt signaling pathway is upregulated in many cancers and plays a key role in tumor cell proliferation.

**Synonyms:** - APL 5125 - APL-5125 - APL5125 - Kinase Inhibitor APL-5125
