Storage Temp

4°C/-20°C

Anti-SAG

Cell permeable smoothened (Smo) agonist. Shown to induce Sonic hedgehog (Shh) pathway activation and counteracts cyclopamine inhibition of Smo. Acts as an activator of Smo at low concentrations and as an inhibitor of Smo at very high concentrations.

Synonyms

3-Chloro-N-[trans-4-(methylamino)cyclohexyl]-N-[3-(4-pyridinyl)benzyl]-1-benzothiophene-2-carboxamide, Smoothened Agonist

CAS Number

912545-86-9

Molecular Weight

490.1

Molecular Formula

C28H28ClN3OS

Solubility

DMSO, sparingly soluble in water (acidification with HCl increases water solubility).

Method for Determining Identity

Proton NMR
