The inhibition of the Hedgehog signaling pathway by androstane derivatives of the structure shown in formula a and androstane derivatives of the structure shown in formula B were tested according to the method of example 3 of patent invention 201910706129.7 and compared to compounds of the structure shown in formula I of patent invention 201910706129.7, as follows:

mouse reporter cell line-10T 1/2-GliLuc [ s12] cells (derived from cell line C3H10T1/2ATCC # CCL-226); mouse embryonic fibroblasts; growth medium: dulbecco's Modified Eagles Medium (DMEM) with 10% Fetal Bovine Serum (FBS), 10 units/mL penicillin, 100. mu.g/mL streptomycin, 2mM glutamine and 10mM HEPES.

Human reporter cell line-HEPM-GliLuc [ MZ24] -cell (derived from HEPM, human embryonic palatine mesenchyme ATCC # CRL-1486); growth medium: minimal essential medium (MEM; containing Earle's salts) was used with 10-20% Fetal Bovine Serum (FBS), 10 units/mL penicillin, 100. mu.g/mL streptomycin, 2mM glutamine, and 10mM HEPES pH7.2.

Microtiter plate (MTP): cells were plated in 96-well MTP (white, flat bottom, clear field) for luciferase assay.

Luciferase assay medium: DMEM with 0.5% FBS, 10 units/mL penicillin, 100. mu.g/mL streptomycin, 2mM glutamine and 10mM HEPES pH7.2.

PBS/Ca/Mg mixture: containing 0.5mM CaCl₂And 1mM MgCl₂Phosphate Buffered Saline (PBS).

Measurement procedure:

s12 and MZ24 cells were seeded separately in separate media and placed at 37 ℃ in 5% CO₂The incubator of (2) for cultivation. The S12 and MZ24 cells contained a luciferase reporter driven by the Hedgehog-responsive Gli promoter, respectively. The cell cultures were passaged every 3 days in a sub-confluent state (sub-confluency) in which the mass ratio of S12 to cell cultures was 1: (20-40); the mass ratio of MZ24 to cell culture was 1: (3-10). The cells were harvested, diluted with growth medium, seeded in microtiter plates at 10,000-20,000 cells (S12)/100 μ L/well or 20,000-30,000 cells (MZ24)/100 μ L/well, and incubated at 37 ℃ and 5% CO₂The cells were further incubated for about 48 h.

After 48h incubation, the growth medium in the microtiter plates was replaced with fluorimetry medium containing S12 and a compound having the structure shown in formula I, fluorimetry medium containing S12 and Vismodegib, an FDA-approved Hedgehog pathway inhibitor, and fluorimetry medium containing only S12 (100. mu.L/well), respectively, for the S12 cell line, with the S12 cell line varying concentrations in each medium ranging from 0.1 to 0.3. mu.g/mL. Aiming at MZ24 cell lines, a fluorescence determination culture medium containing MZ24 and a compound with a structure shown in formula A (or formula B), a fluorescence determination culture medium containing MZ24 and Vismodegib (a Hedgehog pathway inhibitor approved by FDA) and a fluorescence determination culture medium (100 mu L/hole) containing only MZ24 are respectively used for replacing the growth culture medium in a microtiter plate, and the change concentration of the MZ24 cell line in each culture medium is 0.5-1.0 mu g/mL. The cells were further incubated for 24 h.

Then using luciferase reporter gene detection kit (LucLite)^TM) Microtiter plates were tested to test a series of compounds at different concentrations for activity at specific targets and then fitted to curves to derive IC50 values according to the IC50 calculation methods well known in the art. The assay procedure was modified from the manufacturer's protocol in which the medium was removed and the reaction mixture was run in a 1: 1 PBS/Ca/Mg: the lysis buffer re-dissolves the substrate, rather than directly re-dissolving the substrate with the lysis buffer.

Briefly, the ratio by volume of 1: 1 PBS/Ca/Mg was mixed with lysis buffer and 10mL was added to each substrate vial (1000 assay kits). Assay medium from the microtiter plate is then discarded and 100 μ L of the substrate mixture is added to each well. Plates were incubated at room temperature for 30min, and then Relative Light Units (RLUS) representing the relative expression levels of luciferase reporter gene were determined using a Topcount reader (Packard) or an Analyst reader (Molecular Devices). And the IC50 values for the corresponding compounds were calculated.

Table 4 is the IC50 values for inhibition of Hedgehog pathway signaling for specific compounds measured using mouse [ S12] and human [ MZ24] Gli reporter cell lines according to the procedure described above.
