The Uses of 2,2'-[[Dihydro-2-(4-pyridinyl)-1,3(2H,4H)-pyrimidinediyl]bis(methylene)]bis[N,N-dimethylbenzenamine

GANT61 is an inhibitor for GLI1 as well as GLI2-induced transcription, inhibits hedgehog, displays selectivity over other pathways, such as TNF and glucocorticoid receptor gene transactivation.

What are the applications of Application

GANT61 is an antiproliferative Hh signaling pathway inhibitor

Definition

ChEBI: GANT61 is an aminal that is hexahydropyrimidine which is substituted on each nitrogen by a 2-(dimethylamino)benzyl group, and at the aminal carbon by a pyridin-4-yl group. A Hedgehog signaling pathway and Gli protein inhibitor. It has a role as a Hedgehog signaling pathway inhibitor, a glioma-associated oncogene inhibitor, an antineoplastic agent and an apoptosis inducer. It is a tertiary amino compound, a member of pyridines, a substituted aniline and an aminal.

Biochem/physiol Actions

GANT61 blocks hedgehog pathway signaling by inhibiting the transcripional activity of Gli1 (IC50 = 5 μM). GANT 61 led to a regression of 22Rv1 human prostate tumor cell xenografts in nude mice.
