Vismodegib

Описание

In January 2012, the US FDA approved vismodegib (also referred to as GDC-0449) for the treatment of adults with metastatic basal cell carcinoma (BCC), with locally advanced BCC that has recurred following surgery or who are not candidates for surgery or radiation. Vismodegib inhibits the Hh sig?naling pathway by functioning as an antagonist of SMO thereby inhibiting the activation of Hedgehog target genes, resulting in decreased downstream pro?duction of proliferation factors. The IC₅₀ of vismodegib in a Hedgehog?responsive cell line derived from human embryonic palatal mesenchyme cells was 2.8 nM. In preclinical in vivostudies, vismodegib at 12.5 mg/kg (bid) caused complete regression of tumors in a Hh pathway dependent medulloblas?tomaallograft model generated from Ptch+/-mice. A synthesis of vismodegib starting from 2-chloro-5-nitro aniline and employing a Negishi coupling with 2-pyridyl zinc iodide as a key step has been reported.
