A bis-amide antagonist of Smoothened, a seven-transmembrane receptor in the Hedgehog signaling pathway, was discovered via high throughput screening. In vitro and in vivo experiments demonstrated that the bis-amide was susceptible to N-acyl transferase mediated amide scission. Several bioisosteric replacements of the labile amide that maintained in vitro potency were identified and shown to be metabolically stable in vitro and in vivo.
