Colorectal cancer exhibits aberrant activation of Wnt/β-catenin signaling. Many inhibitors of the Wnt/β-catenin pathway have been tested for Wnt-dependent cancers including colorectal cancer, but are unsuccessful due to severe adverse reactions. FL3 is a synthetic derivative of natural products called flavaglines, which exhibit anti-inflammatory and cytoprotective properties in intestinal epithelial cells, but has not been previously tested in cell or preclinical models of intestinal tumorigenesis.
