Product Name:
Vismodegib
CAS Number:
879085-55-9
Indication:
Vismodegib is used for treating locally advanced or metastatic basal cell carcinoma in patients whose carcinoma has recurred after surgery, and in patients who are not candidates for surgery or radiation.
Mode of Action:

Vismodegib selectively binds to and inhibits the transmembrane protein Smoothened homologue (SMO) to inhibit the Hedgehog signalling pathway.

Pharmacodynamics:

Vismodegib selectively binds to and inhibits the transmembrane protein Smoothened homologue (SMO) to inhibit the Hedgehog signalling pathway.

Metabolism:

The main metabolic enzymes are CYP2C9 and CYP3A4, however more than 98% of total systemic vismodegib is not metabolized. Metabolic pathways of vismodegib in humans include oxidation, glucuronidation, and pyridine ring cleavage. The two most abundant oxidative metabolites recovered in feces are produced in vitro by recombinant CYP2C9 and CYP3A4/5.

Toxicity:

Increased risk of embryo-fetal death and significant birth defects. Common adverse event include muscle spasms, alopecia, dysgeusia, weight loss, fatigue, nausea, diarrhea, decreased appetite, constipation, arthralgias, vomiting, and ageusia.
