Product Description

Taladegib (formerly LY2940680, LY 2940680, LY-2940680) is a potent and orally bioavailable Hedgehog pathway antagonist of the smoothened receptor being developed by Eli Lilly for the treatment of cancer. It blocks the Hedgehog (Hh) signaling pathway by attaching to the Smoothened (Smo) receptor. Taladegib possesses the potential to be applied to cancer patients who are vismodegib-resistant..

Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
Smoothened
Patched 1 (PTCH1) receptor (inhibition of Hedgehog signaling pathway) [102]
ln Vitro
In vitro activity: LY2940680 prevents the growth of cancer in cell lines with a mutation in the gene encoding smoothened that scientists had seen in cancer patients who became resistant to vismodegib in the past.[1]
Inhibition of Hedgehog pathway activation: Taladegib potently blocks Hedgehog signaling in vitro, with IC50 values in the low nanomolar range (0.1-1 nM) for inhibition of Gli-luciferase reporter gene activity in Hedgehog-responsive cell lines [102]
- Antiproliferative activity: Exhibits dose-dependent inhibition of proliferation in various cancer cell lines with activated Hedgehog pathway, including basal cell carcinoma (BCC), medulloblastoma, and small cell lung cancer (SCLC) cells, with IC50 values ranging from 10 to 100 nM [102][99]
- Induction of apoptosis: Triggers caspase-dependent apoptosis in Hedgehog-dependent cancer cells at concentrations ≥100 nM [99]
ln Vivo
LY2940680 possesses superior pharmacokinetic qualities in both rodent and non-rodent species. When given orally to Ptch+/-p53-/-transgenic mice that spontaneously develop medulloblastoma, LY2940680 exhibits remarkable efficacy and significantly increases the mice's survival rate. Via magnetic resonance imaging of these mice, LY2940680 demonstrates the quick kinetics of anti-tumor activity. Additionally, immunohistochemistry analysis of medulloblastoma tumors shows that LY2940680 induces Caspase-3 activity and decreases proliferation. In the subcutaneous xenograft tumor stroma, LY2940680 inhibits Hh regulated gene expression and exhibits strong anti-tumor activity.[2]
Antitumor efficacy in mouse xenograft models: Administration of Taladegib (1-10 mg/kg, oral gavage) significantly inhibits the growth of BCC, medulloblastoma, and SCLC xenografts, with tumor growth inhibition rates of 40-80% compared to vehicle controls [102][105]
- Oral bioavailability: Shows good oral absorption with bioavailability >70% in rodent models [102]
- Duration of action: Single oral dose results in sustained Hedgehog pathway inhibition for 24-48 hours in tumor tissues [102]
Animal Protocol
Oral
Mice
Xenograft model establishment: Human cancer cells (e.g., BCC, medulloblastoma) are subcutaneously implanted into immunodeficient mice (e.g., nude or SCID mice)
- Drug administration: Taladegib is formulated in 0.5% methylcellulose/0.1% Tween 80 and administered orally by gavage at doses of 1, 3, or 10 mg/kg, once daily for 14 consecutive days [102]
- Efficacy assessment: Tumor volumes are measured twice weekly using calipers, and tumor growth inhibition is calculated relative to vehicle-treated control groups [102]
- Pharmacodynamic monitoring: Expression of Hedgehog pathway markers (e.g., Gli1, Ptch1) in tumor tissues is assessed by immunohistochemistry or quantitative RT-PCR after sacrifice [102]
ADME/Pharmacokinetics
Absorption: Rapidly absorbed after oral administration; peak plasma concentration (Cmax) is reached within 1-2 hours in preclinical animal models [102]
- Distribution: High plasma protein binding (>95%) in different species [102]
- Metabolism: Primarily metabolized by hepatic cytochrome P450 enzymes, with relatively small contributions from CYP3A4, CYP2C9, and CYP2D6 [102]
- Elimination: Terminal half-life (t1/2) is 6-8 hours in preclinical models; primarily cleared by hepatic metabolism, with <5% of the original drug excreted in urine [102]
- Drug Interactions: May interact with potent CYP3A4 inhibitors (e.g., ketoconazole) or inducers (e.g., rifampin), potentially leading to increased or decreased plasma concentrations [102]
Toxicity/Toxicokinetics
Maximum tolerated dose (MTD) in rodents: The maximum tolerated dose in mice is 30 mg/kg/day (orally) and in rats is 10 mg/kg/day. Dose-limiting toxicities include hepatotoxicity (elevated transaminases), gastrointestinal disturbances (diarrhea, vomiting) and myelosuppression [102]. - Clinical adverse events: In Phase I clinical trials, common adverse reactions included fatigue (30-50%), nausea (20-40%), diarrhea (15-35%), and alopecia (10-25%) [102][105]. - Laboratory abnormalities: Elevated liver transaminases (ALT, AST) and creatinine were observed in <20% of treated patients, usually mild to moderate and reversible upon discontinuation of the drug [102]. - QT interval prolongation: There is a possibility of dose-dependent QT interval prolongation at high doses. Electrocardiographic monitoring is required during clinical trials [102].

Additional Infomation
Taladegib has been used in clinical trials for various cancers, including solid tumors, colon cancer, breast cancer, advanced cancers, and rhabdomyosarcoma. Taladegib is a small-molecule antagonist of the Hedgehog (Hh) ligand cell surface receptor Smoothened (Smo), which has high oral bioavailability and potential antitumor activity. Taladegib inhibits signaling mediated by the Hh pathway protein Smo, thereby suppressing the Hh signaling pathway and potentially inhibiting the proliferation of tumor cells with aberrant activation of this pathway. The Hh signaling pathway plays a crucial role in cell growth, differentiation, and repair; constitutive activation of this pathway is associated with uncontrolled cell proliferation and has been observed in various cancers. Taladegib (also known as ENV-101) is a small molecule inhibitor of the Hedgehog signaling pathway, developed by Eli Lilly and now licensed to Endeavor BioMedicines.[102][75]
- Mechanism of action: It binds to the PTCH1 receptor, blocking its inhibition of smoothed (SMO), thereby blocking downstream signaling mediated by Gli transcription factors and inhibiting the proliferation of Hedgehog-dependent cancer cells.[99][100]
- Clinical development: Phase I clinical trials have been completed, and Phase II clinical trials are currently underway for the treatment of basal cell carcinoma (BCC), medulloblastoma, small cell lung cancer (SCLC), and other malignancies with Hedgehog pathway activation.[102][105]
- Combination therapy: It is being investigated for combination therapy with chemotherapy, immunotherapy, and other targeted drugs to enhance anti-tumor efficacy.[102][105]
