The hedgehog (Hh) signaling pathway is involved in diverse aspects of cellular events. Aberrant activation of Hh signaling pathway drives oncogenic transformation for a wide range of cancers, and it is therefore a promising target in cancer therapy. In the principle of association and ring-opening, we designed and synthesized a series of Hh signaling pathway inhibitors with phenyl imidazole scaffold, which were biologically evaluated in Gli-Luc reporter assay. Compound 25 was identified to possess high potency with nanomolar IC50, and moreover, it preserved the inhibition against wild-type and drug-resistant Smo-overexpressing cells. A molecular modeling study of compound 25 expounded its binding mode to Smo receptor, providing a basis for the further structural modification of phenyl imidazole analogs.
