XAV939 is a potent, small molecule inhibitor of tankyrase (TNKS) 1 and 2 (IC₅₀ = 11 and 4 nM, respectively) (Huang et al.). By inhibiting TNKS activity, XAV939 increases the protein levels of the axin-GSK3β complex and promotes the degradation of β-catenin in SW480 cells (Huang et al.), thereby inhibiting WNT pathway downstream actions.
