Small series of acylguanidine and acylthiourea derivatives were synthesized in gram-scale and assayed for their ability to modulate the Hh signalling pathway. In vitro studies showed a low micromolar inhibitory activity toward tumor cell lines, while the oral administration revealed an excellent ADME profile in vivo. Compound 5 emerged as the most active and safe inhibitor of colon cancer cells both in vitro and in a xenograft mouse model. Based on these data, 5 could be prioritized to further development with the perspective of clinical studies.
