Primary TargetGli1 and Gli2

Cell permeable: yes

General description

A cell-permeable hexahydropyrimidine compound that displays similar pharmacological property as, but is structurally disctinct from, GANT58 (>Cat. No. 373400). While both compounds act as downstream Hedgehog (Hh) pathway-selective blockers and target Gli-mediated gene transactivation with similar potency (IC₅₀ ~5 µM) in SAG-stimulated Shh-L2 cells, GANT61 does exhibit better in vivo antitumor efficacy, presumably due to its superior pharmacokinetics, and only GANT61, but not GANT58, is shown to inhibit Gli DNA binding in HEK293 cells. The solid form of this compound (Cat. No. 373401) is also available.
