Notes: Ro 4929097 is a potent inhibitor of γ-secretase (IC50 = 4 nM) that blocks both Aβ40 and Notch processing (IC50s = 14 and 5 nM, respectively).{32226} It displays greater than 100-fold selectivity for γ-secretase over a panel of 75 other enzymes, receptors, and ion channels. Ro 4929097 does not block tumor cell growth or induce apoptosis but instead produces a less transformed, flattened, slower-growing phenotype.{32226} It is orally active against cancer xenograft models, altering gene expression related to angiogenesis and cell differentiation.{32226} Ro 4929097 also reduces tumor initiating potential of melanoma cells in vivo by blocking Notch-dependent gene expression.{32225}
