BRD-9526 is a potent and selective Sonic Hedgehog (Shh) inhibitor. The Hedgehog signaling pathway is involved in the development of multicellular organisms and, when deregulated, can contribute to certain cancers, among other diseases.
Uses
BRD-9526 is a potent and selective Sonic Hedgehog (Shh) pathway inhibitor with potential anti-cancer activity. The mechanism of BRD-9526 is similar in some ways to commonly used inhibitors such as cyclopamine, but is significantly different in other ways. The discovery of BRD-9526 may provide a useful probe for studying complex signaling pathways[1].
