PG - 5472-6 LID - S0960-894X(15)30141-4 [pii] LID - 10.1016/j.bmcl.2015.10.032 [doi] AB - Over the past decade, academic groups and pharmaceutical companies have uncovered several components and targets for intervention in the Wnt pathway. One approach is to block Wnt signalling through the use of orally bioavailable small molecules that prevent Wnt ligand secretion. In recent years, the membrane bound O-acyl transferase (MBOAT) porcupine (PORCN) has emerged as a molecular target of interest in the search for clinical options to treat Wnt-driven cancers. This review shall provide an overview of the reported small molecule inhibitors for PORCN and discuss the progress made in identifying human disease models that are responsive to PORCN inhibitors.
