Abstract
Significance: Elraglusib was designed as a GSK3 inhibitor and is currently in clinical trials for several cancers. We show conclusively that the target of elraglusib that leads to cytotoxicity is MTs and not GSK3. This has significant implications for ongoing clinical trials of the compound and will help in understanding off-target side effects, inform future clinical trial design, and facilitate the development of biomarkers to predict response.
