Abstract: Recently, therapeutic prospect of solenopsin A was reported with emphasis on the inhibition of angiogenesis by antagonising Akt and inhibiting insulin-mediated PI3K activation. In this study, we attempt to computationally predict the molecular genes and pathways altered by solenopsin B using microarray data. Functional analysis of differentially expressed genes i.e., gene ontology and pathway enrichment analysis using bioinformatics tools specifically indicated the gene-level variations leading to down-regulation in Wnt, ErbB and TGF-β signalling pathways.
