| Glasdegib |
Glasdegib is an inhibitor of the Hedgehog (Hh) signal transduction pathway that binds to Smoothened (SMO), a transmembrane protein, leading to decreased Glioma-Associated Oncogene (GLI) transcription factor activity and downstream pathway signalling. Hh pathway signalling is required for maintaining a leukaemic stem cell (LSC) population thus, glasdegib binding to and inhibiting SMO reduces GLI1 levels in AML cells and the leukaemic initiating potential of AML cells. |
