The IC50 values for Sonidegib (NVP-LDE225) for the major human CYP450 drug metabolizing enzymes is greater than 10 μM. Sonidegib (LDE225), a small molecule, clinically investigated SMO inhibitor, used alone and in combination with Nilotinib, inhibits the Hh pathway in CD34 chronic phase (CP)-chronic myeloid leukaemia (CML) cells, reducing the number and self-renewal capacity of CML leukaemia stem cell (LSC). Sonidegib interacts directly with SMO, in a similar fashion to cyclopamine, to reduce expression of downstream Hh signaling targets. Primary CD34 CP-CML cells are cultured in serum free media (SFM)±Sonidegib for 6, 24 and 72 hours (h). At 72 h, while there is variability between the biological samples, GLI1 is significantly downregulated following exposure to Sonidegib (10 nM; 0.78-fold and 100 nM; 0.73-fold, respectively (p<0.01).
