A family of biaryl substituted 1,4-diaminocyclohexanamides of 3-chlorobenzothiophene-2-carboxylic acid is reported as picomolar modulators of Hedgehog protein function. SAR for the 1,4-diaminocyclohexane group is shown to be exquisitely sensitive to substitution on the 4-amino group, and SAR for the 3-chlorobenzothiophene group is highly specific. Preliminary SAR studies of the biaryl substituent led to a picomolar compound with in vivo activity.
