The Hh Signaling Antagonist VII, JK184, also referenced under CAS 315703-52-7, controls the biological activity of Hh pathway. This small molecule/inhibitor is primarily used for Cell Signaling applications.
A cell-permeable imidazopyridine compound that acts as downstream Hedgehog (Hh) pathway blocker by directly targeting the enzymatic activity of Adh7 (IC50 = 210 nM), the class IV alcohol dehydrogenase. Inhibits Hg-Ag-induced Gli-transcription activity (IC50 = 30 nM) as well as Gli1 and Ptc1 mRNA expression in a dose-dependent manner in H3H10T1/2 cells. Shown to exhibit ≥100-fold greater cytotoxicity towards five Hh activated tumor cells (GI50 ≤21 nM vs. 1.6 µM for the non-Hh activated H3H10T1/2 cells) in vitro and inhibit the growth of two xenografted tumors in mice (30-50% inhibition, 0.2 mg/mouse/day by p.o.) in vivo. Also acts as a microtubule-depolymerizing agent.
