GDC0449 is a potent hedgehog (Hh) signaling pathway inhibitor with an IC₅₀ of 3nM.  The Hedgehog signaling pathway plays an important role in tissue growth and repair. GDC0449 works by blocking the activities of the Hedgehog-ligand cell surface receptors PTCH or SMO and suppresses Hedgehog signaling. It has been shown to inhibit the growth of primary pancreatic xenographs without non-specifically inhibiting pancreatic cell proliferation in vitro. GDC0449 has also been shown to inhibit ABCG2, Pgp, and MRP1-important ABC transporters associated with MDR. It has also been used to treat medullablastoma in animal models.
