MRT-92 is a potent and selective Smoothened (Smo) receptor inhibitor. MRT-92 displays subnanomolar antagonist activity against Smo in various Hh cell-based assays. MRT-92 inhibits rodent cerebellar granule cell proliferation induced by Hh pathway activation through pharmacologic (half maximal inhibitory concentration [IC50] = 0.4 nM) or genetic manipulation. Smo is the target of anticancer drugs that bind to a long and narrow cavity in the 7-transmembrane (7TM) domain.

MRT-92 is an antagonist of Smoothened (Smo) with anti-cancer activity, featuring a binding affinity (Ki) of 0.7 nM. It inhibits the Hedgehog signaling pathway by obstructing the overlapping binding sites within the transmembrane domain of the Smoothened receptor and suppresses the proliferation of cerebellar granule cells in rodents (IC50=0.4 nM). MRT-92 is utilized for research into cerebellar gliomas.
