  • MEDIATORS OF HEDGEHOG SIGNALING PATHWAYS, COMPOSITIONS AND USES RELATED HERETO
    Publication number: 20120283258
    Abstract: The present invention makes available methods and reagents for inhibiting aberrant growth states resulting from hedgehog gain-of-function, ptc loss-of-function or smoothened gain-of-function comprising contacting the cell with a hedgehog antagonist of formula (I) in a sufficient amount to aberrant growth state, e.g., to agonize a normal ptc pathway or antagonize smoothened or hedgehog activity.
    Type: Application
    Filed: March 16, 2012
    Publication date: November 8, 2012
    Applicants: CURIS, INC., GENENTECH, INC.

  • Mediators of hedgehog signaling pathways, compositions and uses related thereto
    Patent number: 7816369
    Abstract: The present invention makes available methods and reagents for inhibiting aberrant growth states resulting from hedgehog gain-of-function, ptc loss-of-function or smoothened gain-of-function comprising contacting the cell with a hedgehog antagonist, such as a small molecule, in a sufficient amount to aberrant growth state, e.g., to agonize a normal ptc pathway or antagonize smoothened or hedgehog activity.
