Abstract excerpt
Several small molecule antagonists for Smoothened (Smo) have been developed, and achieved promising preclinical efficacy in cancers that are dependent on Hedgehog (Hh) signaling. However, in a recent clinical study, a drug-resistant D473H SMO mutant was identified that is thought to be responsible for cancer relapse in a patient with medulloblastoma. Here, we report two Smo antagonists that bind to distinct...
