This invention relates, e.g., to compositions comprising oxysterol compounds represented by Formula I or Formula II, e.g., comprising one or more of Oxy 16, Oxy 22, Oxy30, Oxy 31, Oxy35, Oxy37, Oxy43, Oxy44, Oxy45 or Oxy47. The compounds are shown to be Hedgehog pathway inhibiting, and to act as agonists for liver X receptor (LXR). Also disclosed are methods of using compositions of the invention to inhibit Hedgehog signaling effects, such as cell proliferation, including treating subjects in need thereof, and pharmaceutical compositions and kits for implementing methods of the invention.
本发明涉及包含由公式I或公式II表示的氧化固醇化合物的组合物,例如包括Oxy 16、Oxy 22、Oxy30、Oxy 31、Oxy35、Oxy37、Oxy43、Oxy44、Oxy45或Oxy47中的一个或多个。这些化合物被证明是刺猬信号通路抑制剂,并作为肝X受体(LXR)激动剂。本发明还揭示了使用本发明的组合物来抑制刺猬信号效应,例如细胞增殖的方法,包括治疗需要的受试者,以及实施本发明方法的制药组合物和工具箱。
