Abstract
Description
technical field
[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of medicine, and in particular relates to a preparation method of cyclopamine, in particular to a method for preparing cyclopamine from a plant of the genus Veratrum, and the cyclopamine is used in the treatment of Applications in tumors expressing the Hh signaling pathway, such as pancreatic cancer, medulloblastoma, and small cell lung cancer. Background technique
[0002] The Hedgehog (Hh) signaling pathway was first discovered in Drosophila, and it is a signaling pathway that triggers the development of Drosophila larvae. Further studies have shown that the Hh signaling pathway includes Patched (Ptc) protein, Smoothened (Smo) protein, Ci (Gli) protein, Cos2 protein, Fused kinase, protein SuFu complex, and the target gene. Hh protein is a secreted protein, which obtains activity through its own modification; Patched protein is the receptor of Hh signal protein; Smo protein is the converter of Hh signal. ...
