Background:

RU-SKI 43 is a small molecule inhibitor of Hhat(Hedgehog acyltransferase), the enzyme responsible for the attachment of palmitate onto Shh.IC50 value:Target: Hhat inhibitorRU-SKI 43 reduced pancreatic cancer cell proliferation and Gli-1 activation through Smoothened-independent non-canonical signaling. In addition, RU-SKI 43 treatment inhibited two key proliferative pathways regulated by Akt and mTOR.
