The Wnt/β-catenin signaling is a conserved pathway that has a crucial role in embryonic and adult life.Dysregulation of the Wnt/β-catenin pathway has been associated with diseases including cancer,and com ponents of the signaling have been proposed as innovative therapeutic targets,mainly for cancer therapy.The attention of the worldwide researchers paid to this issue is increasing,also in view of the therapeutic potential of these agents in diseases,such as Parkinson's disease (PD),for which no cure is existing today.Much evidence indicates that abnormal Wnt/β-catenin signaling is involved in tumor immunology and the targeting of Wnt/β-catenin pathway has been also proposed as an attractive strategy to potentiate cancer immunotherapy.During the last decade,several products,including naturally occurring dietary agents as well as a wide variety of products from plant sources,including curcumin,quercetin,berberin,and ginsenosides,have been identified as potent modulators of the Wnt/β-catenin signaling and have gained interest as promising candidates for the development of chemopreventive or therapeutic drugs for cancer.In this review we make an overview of the nature-derived compounds reported to have antitumor activity by modulating the Wnt/β-catenin signaling,also focusing on exuaction methods,chemical features,and bio-activity assays used for the screening of these compounds.
