Abstract

Dysregulation of the hedgehog (Hh) signaling pathway is associated with cancer occurrence and development in various malignancies. Previous structure-activity relationships (SAR) studies have provided potent Itraconazole (ITZ) analogues as Hh pathway antagonists. To further expand on our SAR for the ITZ scaffold, we synthesized and evaluated a series of compounds focused on replacing the triazole. Our results demonstrate that the triazole region is amenable to modification to a variety of different moieties; with a single methyl group representing the most favorable substituent. In addition, nonpolar substituents were more active than polar substituents. These SAR results provide valuable insight into the continued exploration of ITZ analogues as Hh pathway antagonists.
