An alkaloid derived from the bark of the cinchona tree. It is used as an antimalarial drug, and is the active ingredient in extracts of the cinchona that have been used for that purpose since before 1633. Quinine is also a mild antipyretic and analgesic and has been used in common cold preparations for that purpose. It was used commonly and as a bitter and flavoring agent, and is still useful for the treatment of babesiosis. Quinine is also useful in some muscular disorders, especially nocturnal leg cramps and myotonia congenita, because of its direct effects on muscle membrane and sodium channels. The mechanisms of its antimalarial effects are not well understood.
Vismodegib is an orally active small molecule that inhibits the hedgehog signaling pathway by binding to and inhibiting the transmembrane protein smoothened homologue (SMO).[A258613,A258618,L45803] It was discovered by high-throughput screening of a library of small-molecule compounds and subsequent optimization through medicinal chemistry. Since it targets the hedgehog signaling pathway, vismodegib has anti-tumor activity in basal-cell carcinoma. The Hedgehog signaling pathway plays an important role in the development of organs and tissues during embryogenesis. Afterwards, it is silenced in all cells and tissues, except for hair, skin and stem cells. However, dysregulated or aberrant Hedgehog signaling has been associated with basal cell carcinoma pathogenesis.[A258608,L45803] In January 2012, vismodegib was approved by the FDA for the treatment of adult basal cell carcinoma. In July 2013, it was approved by the EMA, and since then, it has been approved by several other countries.[A7370,A258618,L45803]
