It is hypothesized that the triazole antifungal drug itraconazole, through its activity as a potent inhibitor of the Hedgehog (Hh) signaling pathway via the Smoothened (Smo) pathway, may provide clinical benefit in the treatment of prostate cancer. The Hh signaling pathway is a critical embryonic developmental pathway whose aberrant activity has been implicated in the growth and metastases of a variety of tumor types including prostate cancer. Itraconazole is structurally related to ketoconazole, demonstrated to reduce serum PSA by more than 50% in about 20 to 25% of treated prostate cancer subjects.
