Treatment of Anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK)-positive anaplastic large cell lymphoma cells2 and chronic lymphocytic leukemia cells3 with SANT-1 induced cell death.
Biochem/physiol Actions
SANT-1 is a potent sonic hedgehog pathway (Shh) antagonist that directly inhibits by binding to the smoothened (Smo) receptor. SANT-1 inhibits wild type and oncogenic Smo with equal potency.
SANT-1 inhibited Sonic hedgehog signaling and induced apoptosis via Ras/NF-?B pathway in glioblastoma cells.
