Molecular lesions in Wnt/beta-catenin signaling and subsequent up-regulation of beta-catenin response transcription (CRT) occur frequently during the development of colon cancer. To identify small molecules that suppress CRT, we screened natural compounds in a cell-based assay for detection of TOPFalsh
