                                                    RUSKI-43 is an inhibitor of Hhat (IC50 = 0.85 µM). It blocks palmitoylation of Shh without affecting palmitoylation of H-Ras or Fyn, myristoylation of c-Src, or acylation of Wnt3a. In pancreatic cancer cells, RUSKI-43 reduces both Gli1 activation and proliferation.

                                                    RUSKI-43 was shown to possess cytotoxic activity unrelated to canonical Shh signaling. This study found that RUSKI-43 exhibits off-target cytotoxicity, masking its effect on Hhat-dependent signaling, meaning results obtained with this compound in cells should be treated with caution.
