NCIt definition : A synthetic small molecule with potential antineoplastic activity. MK0752 inhibits
the Notch signaling pathway, which may result in induction of growth arrest and apoptosis
in tumor cells in which the Notch signaling pathway is overactivated. The Notch signaling
pathway plays an important role in cell-fate determination, cell survival, and cell
proliferation.;
Alternative definition : NCI-GLOSS: A substance being studied in the treatment of cancer. It blocks signals
between growing cells and may kill cancer cells. It is a type of signal transduction
inhibitor.;
