CPP-1/sulindac downregulates PAs via dual MoA: CPP-1X decreases PA synthesis by blocking ODC1, and sulindac increases PA catabolism and export by upregulating transport genes (PPARγ and SAT). MoA, mechanism of action; ODC1, ornithine decarboxylase; PA, polyamine; PPAR, peroxisome proliferator activated receptor; SAT, sialic acid transport
