Background

SAG (CAS 912545-86-9) is a synthetic small-molecule agonist targeting the Smoothened (SMO) receptor, a GPCR-like protein central to the Hedgehog (Hh) signaling pathway. It activates SMO with an EC50 of approximately 3 nM, thus stimulating downstream Gli transcription factor activity involved in embryonic development and adult tissue homeostasis. At concentrations above 1 μM, SAG exhibits inhibitory effects on pathway signaling. It binds directly to SMO, forming an interaction with a reported dissociation constant (K_D) around 59 nM. SAG is employed in biomedical research, notably to mitigate glucocorticoid-induced cerebellar injury in primary mouse neuronal cell cultures.

General tips We do not recommend long-term storage for the solution, please use it up soon.

Protocol

Cell experiment [1]:

Cell lines

Shh-LIGHT2 cell line

Preparation method

The solubility of this compound in DMSO is >24.5mg/mL. General tips for obtaining a higher concentration: Please warm the tube at 37℃ for 10 minutes and/or shake it in the ultrasonic bath for a while. Stock solution can be stored below -20℃ for several months.

Reacting condition

0.1~100 μM

Applications

SAG induces Hh pathway activation in a mouse cultured cell with an EC50 of ~3 nM, however, the pathway activity decreases dramatically as SAG concentration surpasses 1 μM.

Animal experiment [2]:

Animal models

P4 wild-type mice

Dosage form

SAG (20 μg/g) with prednisolone (0.67 μg/g), daily, 7 days

Application

SAG at the treatment dose effectively prevented glucocorticoids-induced neonatal cerebellar developmental abnormalities in the mouse.

Other notes

Please test the solubility of all compounds indoor, and the actual solubility may slightly differ with the theoretical value. This is caused by an experimental system error and it is normal.
