MRT-83 (hydrochloride) is the potent antagonist of Smoothened (Smo) receptor. MRT-83 (hydrochloride) inhibits the Hedgehog (Hh) signaling pathway and BODIPY-cyclopamine binding to human Smo. MRT-83 (hydrochloride) has the potential for researching cancer disease[1].
MRT-83 (hydrochloride) (compound 86) has IC50s of 15 and 11 nM respectively in Shh-light2 and C3H10T1/2 cells in the biological activity assay[1].
