Abstract

Wnt signaling pathway plays a critical role in tumor progression and metastasis of various cancer types. Therefore, it is of interest to document the molecular docking analysis of proflavin with the Wnt pathway targets (GSK3β, β-catenin, and VIM) for oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC). These results suggest that targeting the wnt signaling downstream targets with proflavine might leads to the better outcome for therapeutic outcome for the inhibition of invasion and metastasis in oral squamous cell carcinoma.
