Stereoselective synthesis of F-ring saturated estrone-derived inhibitors of Hedgehog signaling based on cyclopamine.

Overview
abstract
Previous work in this laboratory established that the readily available F-ring aromatic analog of cyclopamine is a highly potent inhibitor of Hedgehog signaling. The synthesis and biological evaluation of two F-ring saturated analogs that are more potent than the F-ring aromatic structure are reported.
