GDC-0449

GDC-0449 is an inhibitor of Smo that prevents downstream hedgehog (Hh) signaling. GDC-0449 exhibits anticancer chemotherapeutic activity; it is currently approved to treat basal cell carcinoma and is in clinical trials as a potential treatment for other cancers. GDC-0449 inhibits cell motility, invasion, and colony formation in basal cell carcinoma cells.
