Western blot analysis confirmed that the phosphorylated Akt decreased significantly in the amodiaquine group compared to the control group. In the same vein, we found that amodiaquine substantially increased the level of phosphorylated P38 Mapk. When P38 Mapk inhibited by SB203580 (P38-Mapk Inhibitor), the total P38 Mapk but not the phosphorylated P38 Mapk decreased significantly, while tyrosine hydroxylase significantly increased. These results collectively suggest that amodiaquine can augment tyrosine hydroxylase expression via phosphorylated P38 Mapk while negatively regulating the phosphorylated Akt in protein expression.Focal adhesion kinase (FAK), human myofibrillogenesis regulator-1 (MR-1), ephrin receptor type A4 (EphA4), proto-oncogene tyrosine kinase Src (Src), and protein kinase C (PKC) are important markers in proliferation, survival, and migration in some cancers. However, the significance of each is still unclear in different malignancies, including acute myeloid leukemia (AML). Therefore, this study was conducted to investigate their serum levels in Egyptian adult de novo AML patients (n = 70) against healthy volunteers (n = 20). We managed to study the correlation between each pair and to investigate their association with diagnosis, prognosis, and survival. Serum levels were analyzed using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). We found that FAK, MR-1, Src, and PKC serum levels were significantly higher in AML patients compared to control (p  less then  0.0001), and this was associated with significantly lower EphA4 level (p  less then  0.0001). Interestingly, we also observed a significant negative correlation of FAK (p = 0.027), MR-1 (p = 0.003), Src
