TAK-441 is an orally active inhibitor of Hedgehog signaling(IC50 = 4.4 nM) with potent antitumor activity. TAK-441 suppresses transcription factor Gli1 mRNA expression and tumor growth.

HPI 1 is a hedgehog (Hh) signaling inhibitor. Inhibits Sonic hedgehog (Shh)-, SAG- and Gli-induced Hh pathway activation in Shh-LIGHT2 cells (IC50 values are 1.5, 1.5, 4, and 6 μM for Shh-, SAG-, Gli2- and Gli1-induced activation).

Hh-Ag1.5 (SAG-1.5) is a potent Hedgehog (Hh) agonist (EC50: 1 nM) and Smoothened (Smo) receptor agonist, with an EC50 of 1 nM and Ki values between 0.5 and 2.3 nM for Smo. Hh-Ag1.5-mediated reprogramming breaks the quiescent state of non-injured hepatic stem cells and thus rescues liver failure. Hh-Ag1.5 induced differentiation of hiPSCs into skin precursor cells, spinal motor neurons and spinal sensory neurons.

SANT-1 directly binds to Smoothened (Smo) receptor (Kd: 1.2 nM) and inhibits Smo agonist effects (IC50: 20 nM).

MK-4101, an effective inhibitor of the Hedgehog pathway, has anti-tumor activity through the induction of extensive apoptosis and inhibition of proliferation in tumor cells.
