NVP-LDE225 CAS NO.956697-53-3

LDE225 (NVP-LDE225; Erismodegib) is a Smoothened (Smo) antagonist, inhibiting Hedgehog (Hh) signaling with IC50 of 1.3 nM (mouse) and 2.5 nM (human), respectively.
IC50 value: 1.3 nM/2.5 nM (Hh signaling Mouse/Human) [1]
Target: Smoothened
in vitro: LDE225 inhibits TM3 luciferized cell line with 0.6 nM and 8 nM, at the presence of 1 nM and 25 nM Hh agonist Ag1.5, respectively [1].
in vivo: LDE225 is highly bound to mouse, rat, and human plasma proteins (>99%) and moderately bound to dog and monkey plasma proteins (77 and 85%, respectively). LDE225 has high permeability (90.8% in man) in the PAMPA assay. LDE225 shows good oral bioavailability ranging from 69 to 102% in preclinical species when dosed in solution. LDE225 is a weak base with a measured pKa of 4.20 and exhibits relatively poor aqueous solubility. LDE225 demonstrates dose-related antitumor activity. At a dose of 5 mg/kg/day qd, LDE225 significantly inhibits tumor growth, corresponding to a T/C value of 33%. When dosed at 10 and 20 mg/kg/day qd, LDE225 gives rise to 51 and 83% regression, respectively. Gli1 mRNA inhibition correlates with tumor and plasma exposure of LDE225. LDE225 successfully penetrates the bloodbrain barrier in tumor-bearing animals and results in tumor growth inhibition after 4 days of treatment [1]. LDE225 significantly reduces the tumor volume by 95.7% in Rip1-Tag2 mice. LDE225 prolongs survival in Rip1Tag2 mice. LDE225 decreases expression of stromal markers in the LDE225-treated mice [2].
