Product Description

TAK-441 is a novel, orally bioavailable, potent and selective Hedgehog (Hh) signaling pathwayinhibitor with acceptable solubility and pharmacokinetic properties. Itbinds to Smo and is being developed for the treatment of cancer. Hedgehog (Hh) signaling is a highly conserved intercellular and intracellular communication mechanism that governs organogenesis and is dysregulated in cancers of numerous tissues, including prostate. TAK-441 suppressed transcription factor Gli1 mRNA expression in tumor-associated stromal tissue and inhibited tumor growth (treatment/control ratio, 3%) in a mouse medulloblastoma allograft model owing to the improved PK profile based on increased solubility. TAK-441is currently in clinical trials for the treatment of advanced solid tumors.

Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
ln Vitro
TAK-441 (compound 11d) (0.03–1000 nM, 48 h) exhibits good solubility and strong activity in the Gli-luc reporter, with an IC50 value of 4.4 nM[1]. With IC50 values of 0.0457 and 0.113 mg/ml in the tumor and skin, respectively, TAK-441 (0.03–1000 nM, 48 h) inhibits Gli1 mRNA[1]. The androgen withdrawal-induced Shh up-regulation is not affected by TAK-441 (0.5-500 nM, 48-72 h). However, by interfering with paracrine Hh signaling with the tumor stroma, TAK-441 (0.5-500 nM, 48-72 h) causes LNCaP xenografts to progress more slowly, resistant to castration[3].
ln Vivo
In BALB/c-nu/nu mice, TAK-441 (compound 11d) (oral; 10 mg/kg, 100 mg/kg) exhibits a favorable exposure and good oral absorption[1]. Strong anticancer efficacy is exhibited by TAK-441 (oral, 1 and 25 mg /kg, QD for 14 days), which can produce dose-dependent plasma and tumor concentrations by increasing TAK-441's solubility in Ptc1+/-p53-/-mice receiving medulloblastoma allografts[1]. After oral dosing, TAK-441 (iv, 1 mg/kg; po, 10 mg/kg) can produce enough exposure in rats and dogs[1]. In xenografted mice, TAK-441 (oral; 1, 10, and 25 mg/kg) has dose-dependent anticancer efficacy; the IC50 value for the suppression of tumor development is 0.075 mg/ml[1]. Pharmacokinetic parameters of TAK-441 administered orally and via Alzet infusion (100 mg/kg, single dose) in BALB/c-nu/nu mice[1].

Additional Infomation
Smoothened Antagonist TAK-441 is an orally bioavailable pyrrolopyridine derivative and Smoothened (Smo) antagonist with potential antineoplastic activity. Smo antagonist TAK-441 selectively binds to and inhibits the activity Smo, which is a cell surface co-receptor for ligands in the Hedgehog (Hh) family. This may result in a suppression of Hh-mediated signaling pathways, thereby inhibiting the growth of tumor cells in which this pathway is aberrantly activated. Smo is a G-protein coupled receptor that lies just downstream of the Hh cell surface receptor Patched-1 in the Hh pathway; in the absence of ligand, Patched-1 (Ptch1) inhibits Smo, and ligand binding to Ptch1 results in increased levels of Smo. The Hh-mediated signaling pathways play an important role in cellular growth and differentiation, and tissue repair; constitutive activation of this pathway is associated with uncontrolled cellular proliferation in a variety of cancers.

*Note: Please select an appropriate solvent for the preparation of stock solution based on your experiment needs. For most products, DMSO can be used for preparing stock solutions (e.g. 5 mM, 10 mM, or 20 mM concentration); some products with high aqueous solubility may be dissolved in water directly. Solubility information is available at the above Solubility Data section. Once the stock solution is prepared, aliquot it to routine usage volumes and store at -20°C or -80°C. Avoid repeated freeze and thaw cycles.
