  • Scientific Description
    Cell permeable steroidal alkaloid. Specific sonic hedgehog (Shh) signaling pathway inhibitor. Directly interacts/inhibits Smo (smoothened) [1-4]. Teratogenic [1] and antitumor compound. Inhibits tumor cell growth and progression. Shows selective activity against Shh-dependent tumors [5-11]. Blocks abnormal cell growth associated with oncogenic mutations of Ptch and Smo in fibroblasts [2]. Arrests cell cycle at G0/G1 [6]. Apoptosis inducer [8]. - Chemical. CAS: 4449-51-8.
