Method for preparing in vivo formulation: Take μL DMSO master liquid, next addμL PEG300, mix and clarify, next addμL Tween 80, mix and clarify, next add μL ddH2O, mix and clarify.

Method for preparing in vivo formulation: Take μL DMSO master liquid, next add μL Corn oil, mix and clarify.

Note: 1. Please make sure the liquid is clear before adding the next solvent.
2. Be sure to add the solvent(s) in order. You must ensure that the solution obtained, in the previous addition, is a clear solution before proceeding to add the next solvent. Physical methods such
as vortex, ultrasound or hot water bath can be used to aid dissolving.

Mechanism of Action

Targets/IC50/Ki
Smoothened
In vitro
Taladegib (LY2940680) inhibits cancer growth in cell lines containing a mutation in the gene encoding Smoothened that researchers had previously observed in patients with cancer who developed resistance to vismodegib.
In vivo
Taladegib (LY2940680) has excellent pharmacokinetic properties in rodent and non-rodent species. When administered orally to Ptch+/- p53-/- transgenic mice which spontaneously develop medulloblastoma, it produces remarkable efficacy and significantly improves their survival. This compound reveals rapid kinetics of anti-tumor activity through magnetic resonance imaging of these mice, and induces Caspase-3 activity and reduces proliferation by immunohistochemistry analysis of medulloblastoma tumors. It inhibits Hh regulated gene expression in the subcutaneous xenograft tumor stroma and produces significant anti-tumor activity.
