Itraconazole (R51211) is a triazole antifungal agent that inhibits cytochrome P-450-dependent enzymes necessary for ERGOSTEROL synthesis.

Ellagic acid (Gallogen), a thickened tetracyclic natural product, is a potent CK2 inhibitor (IC50=40 nM; Ki=20 nM) with ATP-competitive properties. Ellagic acid is an antioxidant and also possesses antiproliferative activity.

SAG (Smoothened Agonist) is a Smo receptor agonist (EC50=3 nM) that is cell-permeable and selective. SAG regulates Smo activity by binding directly to the Smo helix and can activate the Hedgehog signaling pathway.

MRT-10 is a Smoothened (Smo) receptor antagonist.

Vismodegib (GDC-0449) is a hedgehog pathway inhibitor (IC50: 3 nM). It also inhibits P-gp (IC50: 3.0 μM), ABCG2 (IC50: 1.4 μM).

Purmorphamine (Shh Signaling Antagonist VI), which directly binds and activates Smoothened, blocks BODIPY-cyclopamine binding to Smo. It also is an inducer of osteoblast differentiation.

Hedgehog IN-5, an orally active small molecule inhibitor of the hedgehog pathway, can be used for the research of fibrotic disease [1].

SMO-IN-2 is a potent smoothened (SMO) inhibitor of hedgehog (Hh) signaling.SMO-IN-2 shows antiproliferative activity and anticancer activity against human medulloblastoma cell lines.SMO-IN-2 can be used in the study of cancer.

Hedgehog (Hh) proteins, important regulators of development, bind the cell-surface protein Patched, allowing activation of Smoothened. In vertebrates, this ultimately leads to the activation of the zinc-finger transcription factors of the Gli family. Overactivation of this pathway contributes to certain cancers, including glioblastoma, for which the Gli proteins are named. Hh antagonist VIII is a cell-permeable quinazolinyl-urea compound that has been shown to inhibit Gli transcription activity with an IC50 value of 70 nM.

Hedgehog IN-2 (Compound 20) acts as an inhibitor of the Hedgehog signaling pathway, with an IC50 of <0.003 μM in C3H10T1 2 cells [1].

HedgehogIN-7 (Compound 8g), a purine derivative, acts as an inhibitor of the Hedgehog signaling pathway by reducing the expression of Hedgehog genes and inhibiting signal transmission. This compound exhibits significant cytotoxicity and selectivity towards Mia-PaCa-2 pancreatic cancer cells that are dependent on the Hedgehog pathway, making it useful for research in pancreatic cancer.

Hedgehog IN-3 (compound 3), with an IC50 value of 0.01 µM, serves as a hedgehog pathway inhibitor, proving beneficial for cancer research applications [1].

LGE-899 (Sonidegib metabolite M48) is a main metabolite of Sonidegib which is an inhibitor of the hedgehog pathway. The Tmax of LGE-899(60 h) is much longer than Sonidegib.

RU-SKI 43 is a potent and selective hedgehog acyltransferase (Hhat) inhibitor with an IC50 of 850 nM. It exhibits anticancer activity and is a potential treatment for lung adenocarcinomas. RU-SKI 43 reduces Gli-1 activation through smoothening-independent non-canonical signaling and inhibits Akt and mTOR pathway activity.

CUR61414 hydrochloride is a potent and cell permeable inhibitor of Hedgehog signaling pathway (IC50 =100-200 nM). CUR61414 hydrochloride is a small-molecule aminoproline class compound. CUR61414 hydrochloride selectively binds to smoothened (Smo, Ki= 44 nM). CUR61414 hydrochloride can induce cancer cells apoptosis without affecting neighboring non-tumor cells.

Triparanol (NSC-65345) interferes with posttranslational modification of Hedgehog signaling molecules as well as the sterol sensing domain of its receptor PTCH1, leading to down-regulation of Hedgehog signaling. Triparanol suppresses human tumor growth and is an antilipemic agent with high ophthalmic toxicity.

CUR61414 is a cell-permeable inhibitor of Hedgehog signaling pathway (IC50 =100-200 nM) and selectively binds to smoothened (Ki = 44 nM).

Naftifine Hydrochloride is the hydrochloride salt form of naftifine, an allylamine derivate with synthetic broad-spectrum antifungal activity. Although the exact mechanism through which naftifine hydrochloride exerts its effect is unknown, it appears to selectively inhibit the enzyme squalene 2, 3-epoxidase, thereby inhibiting the biosynthesis of sterol. This results in a decreased amount of sterols, especially ergosterol which is the primary fungal membrane sterol, and a corresponding accumulation of squalene in fungal cells. Naftifine hydrochloride (Naftifine HCl) can be fungicidal as well as fungistatic to yeasts depending on the concentration and the organisms involved.

Mebendazole (Mebenvet) is a hedgehog inhibitor, used as an antihelminthic.

Tolnaftate (NP-27) is a synthetic antifungal agent used to treat skin infections caused by fungi.

GANT 61 (GANT61) is an inhibitor for Gli1 and Gli2.

SAG hydrochloride (912545-86-9(free base)) (Smoothened Agonist HCl) acts as an SMO agonist.

Ciliobrevin D is a AAA+ ATPase motor cytoplasmic dynein inhibitor. Ciliobrevin D inhibits Hedgehog (Hh) signaling and primary cilia formation and it also inhibits dynein-dependent microtubule gliding and ATPase activity in vitro.

Cyclopamine (11-Deoxojervine), a Smoothened (Smo) antagonist (IC50: 46 nM in TM3Hh12 cells), belongs to the group of steroidal jerveratrum alkaloids.
