IC50: 850 nM (Hhat)[1]
RU-SKI 43 hydrochloride targets Hedgehog acyltransferase (Hhat) as a potent and selective inhibitor with an IC50 of 850 nM. Hhat is an enzyme that catalyzes the palmitoylation of the Hedgehog (Shh) protein, a critical step for Hedgehog signaling. By inhibiting Hhat, the compound blocks palmitoylation of Shh without affecting palmitoylation of H-Ras or Fyn, or myristoylation of c-Src. RU-SKI 43 hydrochloride reduces Gli-1 activation through Smoothened-independent non-canonical signaling and decreases Akt and mTOR pathway activity. |

| ln Vitro |
RU-SKI 43 hydrochloride (10 μM; for 6 days) greatly inhibits cell proliferation (83% in AsPC-1 cells) in AsPC-1 and Panc-1 cells[2]. RU-SKI 43 hydrochloride (10 or 20 μM; 5 hours) produces dose-dependent suppression of Shh palmitoylation following only 5 hours[1]. RU-SKI 43 hydrochloride (10 μM; for 72 hours) causes a 40% drop in Gli-1 levels in AsPC-1 cells[2] . RU-SKI 43 hydrochloride (10 μM; 48 hours) leads in reduced phosphorylation (47-67%) of four proteins in the Akt pathway, including Akt (phosphorylation at both Thr307 and Ser473), PRAS40, Bad and GSK-3β. RU-SKI 43 therapy also reduces phosphorylation of mTOR and S6, components of the mTOR signaling pathway[2]. RU-SKI 43 hydrochloride functions as an uncompetitive inhibitor (Ki=7.4 μM) with regard to Shh, and as a noncompetitive inhibitor ( Ki=6.9 μM) with respect to 125I-iodo-palmitoylCoA[1].

| ln Vivo |
After being administered intravenously, RU-SKI 43 hydrochloride has a t1/2 of 17 min in mouse plasma[1].
In vivo, RU-SKI 43 hydrochloride has a half-life (t1/2) of 17 minutes in mouse plasma after intravenous administration. In pancreatic cancer cells, it reduces both Gli1 activation and proliferation. The compound's ability to inhibit Hhat and reduce Gli-1 activation, combined with its effects on Akt and mTOR pathways, suggests potential for in vivo investigations of cancer, fibrosis, and TGF-β pathway-related diseases. Further research is ongoing to characterize its full in vivo efficacy profile. |
| Enzyme Assay |
For Hhat enzyme activity assays, recombinant Hhat enzyme is incubated with Shh peptide substrate, palmitoyl-CoA, and varying concentrations of RU-SKI 43 hydrochloride. Palmitoylation of Shh is measured using radioactive [125I]-iodo-palmitoylCoA or by mass spectrometry. IC50 values (850 nM) are calculated from dose-response curves. For kinetic studies, the compound's mode of inhibition (uncompetitive with respect to Shh, Ki=7.4 μM; noncompetitive with respect to palmitoylCoA, Ki=6.9 μM) is determined. Assays are performed in triplicate with appropriate vehicle controls.

Cell Proliferation Assay[2]
Cell Types: AsPC-1 and Panc-1 pancreatic cancer cells Tested Concentrations: 10 μM Incubation Duration:For 6 days (drugs were replenished every 48 hrs (hours)) Experimental Results: Strongly diminished cell proliferation (83% in AsPC-1 cells). Western Blot Analysis[1] Cell Types: COS-1 cells expressing HA-Hhat and Shh Tested Concentrations: 10 or 20 μM Incubation Duration: 5 hrs (hours) Experimental Results: Caused dose-dependent inhibition of Shh palmitoylation following only 5 hrs (hours). For in vitro cellular assays, pancreatic cancer cell lines such as AsPC-1 and Panc-1 are cultured in appropriate media under standard conditions (37°C, 5% CO2). RU-SKI 43 hydrochloride is dissolved in DMSO and diluted in culture medium to desired concentrations (e.g., 10 μM). Cells are treated with compound for specified durations (e.g., 6 days for proliferation, 5 hours for palmitoylation, 72 hours for Gli-1 levels, 48 hours for Akt pathway). Cell proliferation is assessed by cell counting or MTT assays. Gli-1 levels and Akt pathway phosphorylation are measured by Western blot. Each concentration is tested in replicate wells with vehicle controls. |
| Animal Protocol |
For in vivo animal studies, RU-SKI 43 hydrochloride is typically formulated in suitable vehicles and administered via intravenous (i.v.) injection or oral gavage. The compound has a half-life of 17 minutes in mouse plasma after IV administration. Dosing regimens vary by study objective. In pancreatic cancer models, tumor growth and Gli-1 activation may be monitored. Blood and tissue samples may be collected for pharmacokinetic analysis. All procedures must follow institutional animal care and use committee guidelines.
