The present invention provides compositions for use in modulating smoothened dependent pathway activation. The present invention provides analogs of cyclopamine of formulas
that can be used to counteract the phenotypic effects of unwanted activation of a hedgehog pathway, such as resulting from hedgehog gain-of-function, Ptc loss-of-function or smoothened gain-of-function mutations. The compounds of the present invention are particularly useful in treating cancers.
本发明提供了用于调节平滑依赖性通路活化的组合物。本发明提供了形式如下的环丙
胺类似物
可用于抵消刺猬通路不需要的活化的表型效应,例如由刺猬功能增益、Ptc 功能缺失或平滑依赖功能增益突变引起的表型效应。本发明的化合物尤其适用于治疗癌症。
